Second 2008 Presidential Debate TONIGHT

Posted October 7, 2008, 3:07 p.m.

The second formal Presidential debate between Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) will be held tonight at 9pm EDT. This is the second of three scheduled general election debates between the two major-party candidates. Third-party candidates are excluded from participation.

Tonight’s debate will be held at Belmont University in Nashville and will be moderated by former NBC Nightly News host Tom Brokaw.

I strongly recommend that all Americans watch this debate, as well as the single remaining Presidential debate between now and the November elections. For unfettered coverage, I recommend watching the debates on C-SPAN rather than any of the commercial broadcast and cable news outlets.

Quotes

Always do right; this will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Mark Twain

Welfare’s purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.

Ronald Reagan

To grasp the true meaning of socialism, imagine a world where everything is designed by the post office, even the sleaze.

P.J. O’Rourke

Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.

George Santayana

If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.

Sylvia Plath

Now anything the people demand that is right it is most clearly and most emphatically the duty of this Legislature to do; but we should never yield to what they demand if it is wrong.

Teddy Roosevelt

The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan

I speak in Latin to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse.

Unknown

A good number of works owe their success to the mediocrity of their authors’ ideas, which match the mediocrity of those of the general public.

Nicolas Chamfort

Some advocates of science insist that questions science cannot answer are meaningless, but I find this unconvincing—and unattractively narrow-minded. The pursuit of science has led me to conclude that the future is open and novelty is real.

Lee Smolin

How is there laughter, how is there joy, as this world is always burning? Do you not seek a light, ye who are surrounded by darkness?

Siddhartha Gautama

If you are wise, mingle these two elements: do not hope without despair, or despair without hope.

Seneca the Younger

There is nothing better or more necessary than love.

John of the Cross

An atheist is someone who is certain that God does not exist, someone who has compelling evidence against the existence of God. I know of no such compelling evidence.

Carl Sagan

For the things we have to learn before we can do, we learn by doing.

Aristotle

The sculptor works on marble, the painter on canvas, the machinist on matter, but none of them can create. They bring existing things into new combinations, but nothing else. Creation belongs to God alone.

Fulton Sheen

There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency.

John Maynard Keynes

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.

Elon Musk

Don’t bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.

Salvador Dalí

The Inquisition confused sin with sinners and judged both. Liberals make the same mistake and judge neither. But if you don’t judge the sin, you don’t care about the sinner. If you don’t hate the cancer, you don’t love the patient.
