Vice Presidential Debate Tonight

Posted October 5, 2004, 1:53 p.m.

The first and only planned Vice Presidential debate of the 2004 election season will occur between Vice President Dick Cheney (R) and Senator John Edwards (D-NC) tonight at Case Western Reserve University. Tune in to watch (I recommend C-SPAN, but the other networks will cover it as well) at 9:00 p.m. EST.

While most people don’t really care what the Vice Presidential candidates have to say, you should not underestimate the importance of this debate. All it takes is one bullet, one illness, one plane crash, or one impeachment conviction to make one of these men the President of the United States. Therefore, the Vice Presidential candidate—while not centrally important—should be considered when you make your voting decisions.

So be sure to tune in! As with the other debates, I will post my analysis here sometime tonight or tomorrow and link to the iTunes debate download as soon as it becomes available.

Quotes

Those who do not trust enough will not be trusted.

Lao Tsu

The steam engine, the multiple press, and the public school, that trio of the industrial revolution, have taken the power away from kings and given it to the people.

Edward Bernays

Does any man suppose that one general national government can exist in so extensive a country as this?

George Mason

The spirit, if it truly stirs, never brings peace, but always brings a sword. Submission to the spirit may bring peace. But the spirit itself, aroused in man or nation, is a blade that exists to divide the truth from untruth, the living from the dead, the conformist from the Christian.

Whittaker Chambers

Christian morality and God’s law are not arbitrary, but are specifically given to us for our happiness.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker; yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

Peter the Apostle

I would unite with anybody to do right; and with nobody to do wrong.

Frederick Douglass

Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Human nature, if it changes at all, changes not much faster than the geological face of the earth.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The escape from tyranny is often followed not by Paradise, but by a sojourn in the desert, aimless, confused and deprived.

Jordan Peterson

The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.

Frederick Douglass

You have to risk failure to move forward.

An Wang

The West has lost the golden thread that binds us to God, Creation, and each other. Unless we find it again, there is no hope of halting our dissolution.

Rod Dreher

If you want to read a perfect book there is only one way: write it.

Ambrose Bierce

If you hate your lot but wouldn’t trade it, it’s not your lot you hate.

Let us be neither dogs that do not bark nor silent onlookers nor paid servants who run away before the wolf. Instead let us be careful shepherds watching over Christ’s flock.

Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

G. K. Chesterton

Indiscreet speech may lead men into error and an imprudent silence may leave in error those who could have been taught.
