Final 2008 Presidential Debate TONIGHT

Posted October 15, 2008, 1:04 p.m.

The final 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 last 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 Hofstra University in Long Island, New York, and will be moderated by CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer.

I strongly recommend that all Americans watch this debate, as it is the last 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

Every prophet who teaches the truth, but does not do what he teaches, is a false prophet.

Catholic Church

If there is something more excellent than the truth, then that is God; if not, then truth itself is God.

Augustine of Hippo

There are as many opinions as there are men; to each his own way.

Terence

Man is one name belonging to every nation upon earth. In them all is one soul though many tongues.

Tertullian

All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him.

H.L. Mencken

Forced compassion always short-circuits the human heart and destroys the integrity of true and loving charity.

Paul Skousen

For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Holy Bible

A critic can only review the book he has read, not the one which the writer wrote.

Mignon McLaughlin

Truth stood on one side and ease on the other; it has often been so.

Theodore Parker

The socialists were more intrinsically capitalist than the capitalists. They believed just as strongly in money. They just thought that if different people had the money, the problems plaguing humanity would vanish. This is simply untrue.

Jordan Peterson

The first requisite of civilization, therefore, is that of justice—that is, the assurance that a law once made will not be broken in favor of an individual.

Sigmund Freud

Exactly the same technology can be used for good and for evil. It is as if there were a God who said to us, ‘I set before you two ways: You can use your technology to destroy yourselves or to carry you to the planets and the stars. It’s up to you.’

Carl Sagan

Most men are not untrue, but they are afraid. Most of the errors of public life . . . come not because men are morally bad, but because they are afraid of somebody.

Woodrow Wilson

In recent years a false compassion has developed among some who hold that suffering is incompatible with human dignity. Clearly this is at odds with the Christian faith, which sees in suffering a redemptive and transformative dimension.

Charles Pope

He who loves God is the most deeply burdened with the sense of his own unworthiness.

Fulton Sheen

[Human beings] know the Law of Nature; they break it. These two facts are the foundation of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universe we live in.

C.S. Lewis

Every society, all government, and every kind of civil compact therefore, is or ought to be, calculated for the general good and safety of the community.

George Mason

[A conservative is] a statesman enamored of existing evils, as opposed to a liberal, who wants to replace them with others.

Ambrose Bierce

The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.

Alexander Hamilton

Nothing is easier than to have good intentions but, without an understanding of how an economy works, good intentions can lead to counterproductive, or even disastrous, consequences for a whole nation.
