Terry McAuliffe Quotes
I've signed thousands of documents, but never read them.
Despite pleas from his second in command not to punish the agents who botched key parts of the Oswald investigation, Hoover disciplined 17 agents with his 1964 memo. No one was more careful to “protect” the image of the FBI than Hoover. He used his powers to classify documents as “Secret” and did so for all the documentation of the FBI negligence and the discipline until 2000 when it became public.
This is a classic example, not only of the view of many primitive Muslims towards women, but it is an example of blaming the victim, a common characteristic of dictatorial, repressive governments and societies. The fundamentalist Muslims often actually believe that it is man’s nature to sexually attack any woman who may stimulate them; therefore, women should be covered at all times to prevent this stimulation of males. This view of men is also very primitive assuming that men have no self control and have no moral responsibility for their actions.
Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, tried his hand as a gun manufacturer early in the history of the new nation. He persuaded President Thomas Jefferson that he could manufacture muskets with interchangeable parts in an era where each gun was made uniquely and there were no “spare parts.” So Whitney was the first of the American Defense Contractors. He was also the first to fail to deliver on his contract. His guns were years late and when they were finally delivered, they were very expensive and worse, not very good. The reason that this quotation is cited is that while Irvine was trying to recover the taxpayer’s money, Whitney visited the Secretaries of State and War as well as President Madison and members of Congress. The result was to give Whitney another chance and another big order for 15,000 guns. Even Whitney later admitted that these were not very good. Some argue that this quotation shows that nothing has changed much in military procurement and defense spending.

His Empire, however, was not strong enough militarily to keep the English and other Christians away.
