"There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily."
-- George Washington (b.1732-d.1799) 1st president of the United States: 1789-1797
"It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good disposition." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 19 August 1785 (http://patriotpost.us/historic/quotes/)

"Truth is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is." -- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) Prime Minister of England (http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Winston.Churchill.Quote.B6F3
"Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us -- and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along." -- Carl Sagan (1934-1996), Astro-physicist Source: "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection," Parade, February 1, 1987 (http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Carl.Sagan.Quote.197E)

Nearly two years after shouting "You lie" at President Barack Obama during an address to a joint session of Congress, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson says he has been vindicated.
Wilson was heavily criticized for breaching decorum by yelling out during Obama's speech outlining his healthcare plans. But now he says he has been proved right, according to The Hill.
Wilson's outburst came after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit under his plan.
"The reforms I am proposing would not apply to those what are here illegally," the president said.
But Wilson says $8.5 million of a $28.8 million award to community healthcare centers has been specifically set aside to help seasonal and migrant farm workers, and that the clinics have been told not to ask for immigration status.
"It is clearly providing money that should be going to American citizens not to illegal immigrants," he told the Fox News show "America Live."
"It's even worse than I thought," he added. "They won't even ask for status."
Wilson's assertion came after Health Resources and Services Administration spokeswoman Judy Andrews told CNS News that the clinics would not ask patients' whether they are in the country legally.
"The Program's authorizing statute does not affirmatively address immigration status," Andrews said. "Rather, it simply states that health centers are required to provide primary health care to all residents of the health center's service area without regard for ability to pay.
"Health centers do not, as a matter of routine practice, ask about or collect data on citizenship or other matters not related to the treatment needs of the patients seeking health services at the center."
According to Wilson, that means it is "inevitable that they will serve illegal aliens."
"The president specifically promised the American people that Obamacare would not cover those who are here illegally," he wrote on his campaign website. "He misled all of us."
