“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
Winston Churchill
“If the truth is boring, civilization is irksome. The constraints inherent in civilized living are frustrating in innumerable ways... and we all--can be "liberated." The social disintegration which has followed in the wake of such liberation has seldom provoked any serious reconsideration of the whole set of assumptions--the vision--which led to such disasters. That vision is too well insulated from feedback”
Thomas Sowell
“One of the overriding points of Liberal Fascism is that all of the totalitarian "isms" of the left commit the fallacy of the category error. They all want the state to be something it cannot be. They passionately believe the government can love you, that the state can be your God or your church or your tribe or your parent or your village or all of these things at once. Conservatives occasionally make this mistake, libertarians never do, liberals almost always do”
Jonah Goldberg
“A conservative government is an organized hypocrisy”
Benjamin Disraeli
“Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself”
Mark Twain
“Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far.”
Teddy Roosevelt
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies.”
Groucho Marx
