“When charming leftists stick their noses into things they don’t understand they become ratchet-jawed purveyors of monkey-doodle and baked wind.  They are piddlers upon merit, beggars at the door of accomplishment, thieves of livelihood, envy-coddling tax lice applauding themselves for giving away other people's money.  They are the lap dogs of the poly sci-class, returning to the vomit of collectivism.  They are pig herders tending that sow-who-eats-her-young, the welfare state.  They are muck-dwelling bottom-feeders growing fat on the worries and disappointments of the electorate.  They are the ditch carp of democracy.” - P.J. O’Rourke

“There is only one essential principle our new culture needs to remember and embody and it’s this: liberty is better than slavery.  This principle alone implies a moral order and a human purpose.” - Andrew Klavin
