Well said group, so far, but Reston and Waffler haven't weighed in yet.

The legislation passed and the depression continued right up to December 7th,1941, when the attack on Pearl Harbor bailed FDR out.

90% of the people in our government don't care a hoot about the Constitution. It is merely a speed bump on their road to a socialist America.

You commit theft and you go to jail. The hacks in our congress do it and get paid to do it.

Then there's those wonderful asset forfeiture laws that enable cops to take private property without charging anyone with a crime. All done because of this war on people disguised as "The War on Drugs".

Waffler, you would be better served if you would remember this quote, "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than open it and remove all doubt". However, in your case it may be too late.

Waffler, you can't be serious with a ridiculous comment like yours. Your comment is so absurd that it's hard to respond to, but J Carlton said it very well. Waffler, please sober up before responding to quotes.

Well said Joe, and the war on drugs is actually a war on people. This outrage has to be terminated.

Taking resposibility for yourself, what a novel idea. Think of the bureaucrats that would have to get honest jobs if we all did this.

True and funny.

Komrads Reston and Waff never disappoint, always on the socialist side of every argument. Obama and his minions are tirelessly working to make this quote a reality. They look you straight in the eye and tell you that the economy is better while jobless rates climb. Ahh, the wonderous mind of the liberal.

Waff and Reston, spoken like two big government lefties. Spooner didn't say that the ONLY notion of liberty was money but I suspect this quote suggests keeping your money away from those big spenders in Washington.

Unlike government, when a thief robs you, he doesn't try to convince you that it's done for your own good.

The repubs and the dems are two sides of the same coin.

J Carlton, thanks for this great VonMises quote. Ain't it the truth.

The libs may have a problem arguing with this quote since it comes from a former Clinton man.

If anyone should know, it would be Volcker.

One war that is destroying this nation and must be stopped, is this so-called War on Drugs. It fills our jails with non-violent citizens, makes drugs cheaper and easily available to children,increases crime in our streets,makes brutal thugs rich, and costs over 50 billion dollars per year. Check out LEAP.cc on the web to see why we have to stop this madness.

Joe, most of our tax dollars go for welfare, foreign aid, a multitude of government bureaus, and Michelle and Baracks pleasure jaunts.

I have a news flash for Terry, Golok,Jurgrenson,and Gregoroff, Bush is not the president. We have a new one, the Kenyan by the name of Obama.We all know that governments lie,this is not big news. Check out almost everything that Nancy, Ralph, and Obama say on a daily basis for proof.

Joe said it right.

And the kings send the serfs out to do the fighting.

Cal, I agree and I also admired Douglas Mc Arthur. I think it was Truman who referred to Stalin as "Good Ol' Joe". Too bad that McArthur couldn't have fired Truman.

As usual, J Carlton is right on target, well said.

My favorie Washington quote is this one, "Government is not eloquence, not reason, it is force, and like fire it is a dangerous servent and a fearful master".We would do well to remember this quote.
