Very true, and lots of profit in war for some.

National Socialism, not a bad name for what the Obamacrats are trying to accomplish.

I think of Waffler and the other liberal morons who think we can solve the nations debt problem by raising taxes on the "Rich". Pelosi and Boxer would get waivers of course.

Reston is right. We should outlaw home schooling and herd all the kids into these giant prisons that we call public schools, and don't forget to walk through the metal detecter. And if you can't read when you graduate, not to worry, there's remedial reading classes when you get to Flunk U.

The central task of education should be to teach people to think, something our public schools do not do.

Robken, I didn't say that libs didn't have high IQ's, you misread my comment. I just wonder why they could be liberals, hey, maybe they are mentally deranged.

With the Income Tax , The War on Drugs The EPA, etc, Our government makes war on it's own citizens.

Pretty well describes the American version of the Ghestapo.

You, the citizen of our once free country, are now called "inventory" by our friends at the IRS. Read "The Income Tax, The root of All Evil". It's long out of print but still available on Amazon.

I second Mikes kudos for the editor. Ever since politicians found out that they could steal your money and buy your vote with it, things have been going to hell in a hand basket, starting around 1913 if not long before. For the youngsters in the crowd, 1913 was the year of the Fed and the income tax. I doubt that even Frank Sinatra would have called 1913 "A Very Good Year".

Robbing Peter to pay Paul is just fine with Paul but Peter ain't too happy.

I think that she is exactly right. Only a couple of "progressives" like Waffler and Anonymous could disagree with this quote.

It's easy for a politician to be "compassionate" he's not spending his money, he's spending ours.

How any grown person with half a brain and not suffering a mental disorder can be a liberal, ie, a socialist, is a mystery to me. This is a great quote.

Bozeman, what's wrong with being a "radical extremist against Clinton because of his sexual improprieties". Bush did lead us into a bad war, are there any good ones, but that's not what is bankrupting this country. Various billion dollar bureaucracies in our government , foreign aid, the cost of illegal aliens, feeding and housing thousands of people in jail for victimless drug crimes, welfare, and other items of profligate spending by the elite in Washigton has bankrupted this country. Even without the war, we would still be bankrupt. And now we are dropping bombs on Libya, go figure.

Waffler, what on earth does your inane reply have to do with the quote? As to your 3rd grade comment, whether people are perverse depends on what law is being inforced. As one example, I resent a law that sends a person to jail for owning or growing hemp and I don't think that makes me a "perverse" person. I resent laws that require things from me but exempts the very people who pass these laws. I could go on but maybe even you, Waff, can get the point.

Great quote and the exact reply that you'd expect from Komrad Waffler.

At least he didn't say you have to have sex with an intern in the oval office. This is a good quote from one of the slimiest characters to ever occupy the White House.

Or get caught with a couple of ounces of hemp.

A few days ago, Obama had the audacity to tell some students at a community college that the government shouldn't spend more than it takes in. This from the biggest spender in American history, Naturally he plans to solve this problem not by cutting spending but by raising taxes. Thank you Mr Obamunist.

.....and we are finding out , much to our sorrow, that it doesn't work here in the USA.

The problem with schools started along about the time of Horace Mann. Public school education is a misnomer, it has little to do with education.

That could be why we have a thing called preschool.

Stephen, I'd explain it to you but anyone who would ask a question like your's wouldn't understand.

Jefferson was so right. IRS, DEA, DOA, DOE, ATF, OSHA, EPA, to name only a few of the government bureaus that we, the taxpayers support, in order for them to snoop into every corner of your life, steal your property, and generally make all sorts of mischief. Naturally, it's all done for your own good.
