Dr. Paul has it exactly right. Too bad he isn't President.

Good old dependable Reston, and by the way, when did you join the communist party.

A good example of the above is the U S Post Office. If the government would get out of the mail business and let UPS have it, the mail delivery would be twice as effecient at about half the cost.

When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you'll always have the support of Paul.

Good comment, Waffler.

We perhaps shouldn't dwell to much on the past mistakes we've made but should try to learn from them and not repeat them. I believe that constantly grinding on past mistakes is a form of self pity.

The hardest part is giving up preconceived notions.

It's not profitable to continually worry and fret over mistakes of the past. I should know as I've made many of them.The secret is to not repeat them.

As usual, Mona hits the nail directly on the head.

I doubt that even Reston or Waffler could argue against this quote, but with these to lefties anything is possible.

Waff and Reston are about as far left as you can get and still be in or near the ball park.If they aren't commies they will do till we find some.

Oops, horrors not hoorors.

Great question , Dr. Tom, who else do we have.

To quote George Washington, Government is like fire,a dangerous servent and a fearful master. The so called War on drugs is a perfect example. Check out LEAP.cc for information on the hoorors of this "War".

I'm with Mike on this one.

Speaking of "spendthrifts", the U.S. Congress fits the bill perfectly. Then,of course, they blame the debt on everyone else but themselves.

I suspect that the "King" in the White House would like nothing better than to shut down the internet.

Censorship by any group is usually done to protect us from ourselves. The quote nails it.

Bureaucrats are a lot like roaches, they get into and mess up everything they touch. If we had anything close to a Constitutional government, 99% of them would have to find honest work.

It's interesting to note how teachers unions fight like tigers in opposition to charter schools or any thing that threatens their monopoly.

Sounds as though President Madison was making a prediction. Just take a look at Washington today.

Reston and Waffler, as usual, are nuts. Reston, those on the "low end " of the pay scale get a thing which is improperly named as "Earned Income Credit" and results in those folks getting checks up to $4000 or more each year. The so called fat cats pay the lion's share of income taxes each year. Those "soak the rich" schemes that you lefties love so much come directly out of the Marxists play book.

Only Komrad Waffler could find less than 5 stars for this quote.

Read "Harvest of Sorrow" for a look at the horrors put upon the Russian people by Lenin and Stalin.

The quote accurately describes the leftist agenda of the current administration. And boy how they hate it when you remind them that Adolph was a socialist.
