Congress' passing of the omnibus spending bill without reading it shows more than anything why they can't be trusted.

There are people in Congress who aren't very bright. In fact, some of them are just plain brain-dead.

Politicians detest self-sufficient citizens. Politicians need to be needed. When we get socialized medicine, you will be completely dependent upon politicians for your medical care, as Canadians are today. That's why if you need an MRI in Canada, you have to wait three months - unless you pay certain kinds of homage to the right politicians.

Government does not do ANYthing as well as the private sector does, and that includes educating your children.

You CAN NOT judge previous generations by today's standards. Today Mark Twain is called by many, a racist. By the standards of his time, he was a social liberal. Even Teddy Roosevelt was a social liberal at the time, but he accepted as fact that idea that Caucasians were inherently superior to all other races. That makes him a racist in the CORRECT definition of the term.

Where do politicians come from? Why, they come from Uranus!

Is there anything more dangerous to the cause of liberty than a politician fixated on re-election?
