If I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain.
A Mexican’s face is a mask and so is his smile.
Once the party of the Working Man, Democrats have become the party of the Screaming Woman.
When you meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
There is no more Left or Right. There are only Globalists or Nationalists.
What’s the point of calling yourself a liberal if you don’t allow anyone else to have a different view?
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
What is your fair share of what someone else has earned?
You may not like war, but war likes you.
The usurpation of the word “liberal” by the left has been a catastrophe.
It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the moon as to put a bone in your nose.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
Life is just one damn thing after another.
It is a toss up between Cruz and Trump in Iowa and a Trump slam dunk in New Hampshire, but Cruz does not have the traction yet in the rest of the nation. It will not be decided until Super Tuesday on March 15th in the Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio primaries. I favor Trump for his ability to beat Hillary, but Cruz is my second choice.

Señor Cotton: Rubio burst onto the national scene very favorably a few years back. I was a big fan, but then he went all squishy on the illegals matter. He lost me then. Cruz does not do squishy.

We have to be real. Rubio realizes that we cannot deport twelve or thirteen million people. To do so would be an economic disaster for the U.S. and a good many other nations. We have to deal with the problem. Not an amnesty, but an indulto.
Cruz probably sees the problem also, but doesn’t admit it because that would not sell politically, especially in the Midwest and the East where people have really strange ideas about Latinos.
Do you realize that there are enough Mexicanos in the U.S., that if they all registered and voted in Mexico’s election that the future of Mexico could be decided in the U.S.?

Señor Gill: Please don’t use Spanish here when a perfectly good word is available in English, especially when I have to look it up. Indulto = pardon, reprieve.
Last couple of days I’ve seen a number of Spanish words here. Since most all Moon readers do not speak Spanish, I’m pretty sure, it’s just better to stick to English. Gracias.
As for so many Mexicans — and you mean illegals mostly, I imagine — being in the U.S., I find that quite disturbing.

Re Falalalala, there was (a good while back in time) a Sunday comics cartoon strip called Pogo. His version, which became my dad’s version, of falalalala was
“Deck us all with Boston Charlie, walla walla wash and Kalamazoo. Dora’s freezin’ on the trolley, swaller dollar, cauliflower and Alley garoo.”
Makes me smile.

One of my favorite Christmas songs as well. Here are some more lyrics:
“Don’t we know archaic barrel,
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou.
Trolley Molly don’t love Harold,
Boola Boola Pensacoola Hullabaloo!”
OMG! There are more verses, even worse, but I’ll spare you the pain.
Have a great Christmas!
Saludos,

This evening I will be in the recliner with a nice salad of my own making, watching “The Great Escape” with Steve McQueen.

An amnesty is freely given, but an indulto involves an admission of guilt and a penance. Can you think of an English word that fits the bill?
