The thought of how far the human race would have advanced without government simply staggers the imagination.

Democracy is no solution - it's just 51% bossing the other 49% around. For God's sake, Hitler was democratically elected! Democracy is just mob rule dressed up in a coat and tie.

All these people who think they deserve free health care, or a job, or a plasma screen TV, simply because they radiate heat at 98.6 degrees, or because they were born in a certain place, or because they have a certain skin color - it's all bunk.

The time will come, and probably during 2009, that the only way the U.S. will be able to fund its deficits is to create money by printing it.

The consequence will be runaway inflation, increasing interest rates, recession, and inevitable tax increases on all Americans.
