If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it does not mean it is a duck, further investigation is required.

"Common sense" not as common as you'd think.

There is a saying that "the customer is always right" but the real saying should be "the wife is always right, even when she is obviously wrong"

You meant Alliteration Always Acquires Accolades, right?

Hitchens speaking with Christian radio presenter Paul Edwards

"I have studied what theists do when they think they have power to get away with it. With your religion in particular. I mean I don't have to ask what things would be like if you had more power. Fortunately your religion is in terminal decline. No one is going to forget what things were like when people like you were in charge. Slavery, ignorance, superstition, torture; it's not going to be forgotten, you know."

"I don't understand why you're treating me with such hostility."

"Well I don't mind if you understand it or not, I'm talking to your listeners as well."

"Well my listeners fully understand that Jesus said to love your enemies and--"

"There's another immoral injunction. Go love your own enemies, don't be loving mine, my enemies are the theocratic fascists; I don't love them, I want to destroy them. You go and love them. Lot's of luck!"

From the same radio broadcast.

"I want to make it clear in our closing moments, Christopher, that I don't consider you an enemy."

"Well I am very sorry to hear that."

"I know, because you want me to be your enemy and--"

"No no, excuse me, you are my enemy."

"Well you're not my enemy."

"And how do you figure that?"

"Because I don't feel the need to have to silence Christopher Hitchens."

"Oh well you don't have a chance of doing that, I don't mean that at all. But I mean your...your preachments are evil and are a direct threat to the survival of civilization, so if you don't consider me an enemy, you don't know an enemy when you see or hear one."

Shakespeare would be so proud of this. 

Yeah I put it as Anon because I wasn't sure of the source and didn't want to give an incorrect one.

I'm pretty sure it was Shakespeare though.
