Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Just gotta love their compassion for the opposing view.
GAWWWWD! Why is legally entering our country disdained where the immigrants in question can begin right with the law?
Does the increasingly senile Gray Lady believe these immigrants will boost circulation and save that newspaper? All I see our Home Depot hangers-on reading are free weekly local rags written in Spanish.
Now I have to go and clean out the NYTimes cookies cookies from my machine. Don’t want to let anybody know I’ve been there.

Lex,
Thanks for reading that rag so I don’t have to!

Yet somehow Lex, I suspect the irony is lost on them.
I read the NY Times daily on the web, usually skimming the stories and heading to the editorials. I can say that over the past five years or so they’ve been so consistently against the popular opinion, and generally wrong on most issues, that it’s sort of like looking at the playbook of a losing team. All one needs to do is find the opinion of the Times, do the opposite, and you’ll find yourself in good company.

What Max, Curtis and B2 said.
Reading the Grey Woman-Most-Decidedly-NOT-A-Lady so that we don’t have to deserves our thanks and gratitude.
I wouldn’t let my talking parrot read the Times. If I had a talking parrot.
Even though the bird would gladly and regularly ‘comment’ on the NYT pages placed beneath him, still I could not bring myself to let the Times take up any of his limited cage space over other saner reading matter.
There is such a thing as mental cruelty to animals.
