"Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought."
-- Alexander Hamilton

10 October, 2004 - "Thomas Fleming"


I promise to get back to some personal things as well as my 'debate' entry, but that will be on Monday night.

On another subject is Thomas Fleming the author/historian, and Thomas Fleming the columnist/editor, who I quote at the bottom, but for the most part completely and utterly disagree with (the guy advocates hatred against other religions)the latter.

I have been reading Thomas Fleming the historian as well as watching his interviews and panel segments. He is always fascinating to watch and learn from. The man is an encyclopedia of knowledge!

He's written about Alexander Hamilton, though we both strongly differ in viewpoints on the man.. I believe he isn't well versed in In his knowldge of what hamilton really stood for. Then again Hamilton has been lied about and slandered so much, how can I blame him for seeing him that way?

I suggest anyone wanting to read more about Fleming to check out his website Thomasflemingwriter.com . I highly suggest reading his ELEGY FOR THE DEAD Poem, which is in remembrance of those in the last major conflict to tear our nation apart before the Bush wars. A great book to check out is The Illusion of Victory: America in World War I. By understanding the utter absurdity of how politicians throughout our planet sold the public a "WAR TO END ALL WARS" bullshit is beyond me. But we can learn what happened and stop this bullshit from happening again. Which it does again and again. To get a view of Fleming on World War I listen to him in this audio clip and get a true understanding of another incompetant crusading President (there are so many after all).

On another note I have been very upset over my personal and proffesional life. It has troubled me much this year, nearly to the end of me many times. I read a quote by Barabra Sher that was inspiring today, "You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you". I will have to thank Cheryl for being so kind and considerate last night and chatting with me to talk sense and show compassion while I was extremely upset.

Now here are some quotes for today:

"Time is the only critic without ambition."--John Steinbeck

"One can give nothing whatever without giving oneself-- that is to say, risking oneself. If one cannot risk oneself, then one is simply incapable of giving."--James Baldwin

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you; Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight; Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."--Mother Teresa

"Give more than you think you can, trusting that you are richer than you think."--Jon Kabat-Zinn

"Sex, violence, treason � Thomas Fleming�s Duel has them all, painted in quick, copious strokes. By telling the story of two self-doomed outsiders, Fleming shows the dark side of an era � and of American politics."--Richard Brookhiser, author of Alexander Hamilton, American

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."--President Theodore Roosevelt

"The governments of Great Britain and the United States claim to be waging a war against terrorism and portray the occupation of Iraq as a key campaign in that war. Unfortunately, the continued presence of U.S. and allied troops in Iraq is inspiring rather than repressing terrorism. In the meantime, they are doing next to nothing to punish the countries that have been funding and arming the terrorists, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and they continue to preside over an illegal U.N. occupation of Kosovo whose fruits are murder, ethnic cleansing, and an international crime spree (drugs, white slavery, kidnapping, murder) conducted by the Albanian mobs in Europe."--Thomas Fleming, editor of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture and president of The Rockford Institute

"The founding fathers thought that character would rise above politics, it would be above faction, it would be the crucial reason why a man was asked to hold a political office. And, unfortunately, as, political parties developed, character took on another context: it became a reason to keep a man out of office, by finding flaws in his character."--Historian and author Thomas Fleming

"Every city needs a Thomas Fleming."--former mayor of New York John Lindsay

"Could I, I thought, be the last coward on earth? How terrifying!.....All alone with two million stark raving heroic madmen, armed to the eyeballs? With or without helmets, without horses, on motorcycles, bellowing in cars, screeching, shooting, plotting, flying, kneeling, digging, taking cover, bounding over trails, root-toot-tooting, shut up on earth as if it were a loony bin, ready to demolish everything on it, Germany, France, everything that breathes, destroy, destroy, madder than mad dogs, worshipping their madness (which dogs don't), a hundred, a thousand times madder than mad dogs, and a lot more vicious! A pretty mess we were in! No doubt this crusade I'd let myself in for was the apocalypse."--Louis Ferdinand Celine from "Journey To The End Of The Night"

"We have it in our power to begin the world over again."--Thomas Paine

"America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn't entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the Spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war, all these 'isms' wouldn't today be sweeping the continent of Europe and breaking down parliamentary government - and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over one million British, French, American, and other lives."--Winston Churchill

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."--Jimi Hendrix

"Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue; a state of mind; a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and justice."--Spinoza

"The truth is, as it almost always is, the opposite of what they want you to believe."--Thomas Fleming, editor of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture and president of The Rockford Institute

"You can�t escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today."--President Abraham Lincoln

"What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly."--Lao Tsu

"To act with common sense according to the moment, is the best wisdom I know and the best philosophy is to do one's duties, take the world as it comes submit respectfully to one's lot; bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it, whatever it is; and despise affectation."--Horace Walpole

"Yesterday ended last night."--Norman Vincent Peale

"Never murder a man who is committing suicide."--President Woodrow Wilson

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."--Galatians 5:22-23

"Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind."--Buddha

"I believe in the sun even though it is slow in rising. I believe in you without realizing. I believe in rain though there are no clouds in the sky. I believe in truth even though people lie. I believe in peace though sometimes I am violent. I believe in God even though he is silent."--Unknown

"While there's life, there's hope!"--Old Romas saying


PUBLIUS

�Neither Jewish morality nor Jewish tradition can be used to disallow terror as a means of war... We are very far from any moral hesitations when concerned with the national struggle. First and foremost, terror is for us a part of the political war appropriate for the circumstances of today...�--Yitzhak Shamir Israeli Prime Minister, Zionist terrorist
