"The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money" — Margaret Thatcher
 
Rep. Paul Broun said:
God's word is true. I've come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the big bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell," said Broun, who is an MD. "It's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior

You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I've found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don't believe that the earth's but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That's what the Bible says

This man has a disproportionate influence of the nation's science and technology policy. He ran unopposed. He is also a doctor, with two children, which makes the jab at embryology particularly disturbing.

"If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president.'' - Ann Coulter
 
I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
— Ben Franklin​


Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.
— Barry Goldwater​


That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.
— Thomas Jefferson​


Compassion is defined not by how many people are on the government dole but by how many people no longer need government assistance.
— Rush Limbaugh​


I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.
— Ronald Reagan​


Conservatives have excellent credentials to speak about human rights. By our efforts, and with precious little help from self-styled liberals, we were largely responsible for securing liberty for a substantial share of the world’s population and defending it for most of the rest.
— Margaret Thatcher​
 
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

George Washington
 
“The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the general government are levied,” Jefferson wrote in 1811. “The poor man, who uses nothing but what is made in his own farm or family, will pay nothing. (With) our revenues applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings.”

Thomas Jefferson

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: “That an enormous proportion of property vested in a few individuals is dangerous to the rights and destructive of the common happiness of mankind; and, therefore, every free state hath a right by its laws to discourage the possession of such property.”

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: “Superfluous property is the creature of society. . . . By virtue of the first laws, part of the society accumulated wealth and grew powerful, [then] they enacted other [laws] more severe and would protect their property at the expense of humanity. This was abusing their powers and commencing a tyranny.”

JAMES MADISON: “Besides the danger of a direct mixture of Religion & Civil Government, there is an evil which ought to be guarded against in the indefinite accumulation of property from the capacity of holding it in perpetuity by ecclesiastical corporations. The power of all corporations ought to be limited in this respect. The growing wealth acquired by them never fails to be a source of abuses.”

DICK CHENEY: “Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter.We won the mid- term elections, this is our due”.
