The last sentence describes liberals to a T. It's in their nature.

Two quotes: (1) "Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure" L. Dean Smith, (2) "Public Servents: Persons chosen by the people to distribute the graft". Mark Twain.

All of the above are right on.

This quote is right on no matter where Michelle Malkin lives. It's a perfect description of the gang of lawyers that infest Washington and pass our laws.

A great definition of public schools.

We used to call them public servents but now they are rulers. They live in that alternate world inside the beltway and pass down edicts to us "common folk."

I love his term,"malignant fantasy". This probably describes the attitude of most of the liberal professors in our universities today.

The idea behind the Constitution was to protect citizens from government.

The left always puts Fascism on the right. In truth Fascism,(Nazaism) and Communism are two sides of the same coin. Hitler was a leftist.

Ah yes, sacrificing your freedom for "The greater good".

Do-gooders mostly pests who want to control you. You know, like the folks at the E.P.A.

Hitler was a leftist.

Cal, the answer to your question is, probably not. Social engineering seems to be in the nature of government, and done for our own good, of course. Our government is infested with liberal control freaks, ninety percent unelected. They survive no matter who is president. Depressing as this is, I doubt you'll see much change after the election no matter who wins.

Mr. Rothbard nails it.

And , of course, when the socialsts do something, it's always for "the greater good" or some such nonsense.

Daniel, is Vermont part of the U.S. or another planet. If food stamps, aid to dependent children, Section 8 Housing, (un)earned income. etc are not welfare, please tell me what they are. Sure sounds like welfare to me but maybe not on your planet.

Bob, what on earth are you talking about. Oh, now I get it, you are from Eugene, the lib capital of the planet, this explains a lot.

Can't add much to what J and Mike have said.

Helping someone when no one will find out about it is an example, or aiding someone in distress even if they support Obama.

"Laws duly enacted" doesn't make them good or right, it just makes them legal.

Most states are afraid to do this for fear of losing all that wonderful government money. Excuse me, I meant that taxpayer money that the feds steal.

Good old asset forfeiture, thanks to the "War on Drugs". 10 stars for the truth and accuracy of this statement.

H.L. is always the cynic and almost always right.

Dishonest , insane and intolerable pretty well sums up the current mess we have in Washington and it probably won't get any better after November regardless of who is elected.

Suppression of a free and unbiased press would be a disaster for the country. Sad to say we have no such press and what the newspapers print today is mostly liberal propaganda.
