Liberals have been driven to the desperate expedient of attributing . . .social pathology in today's ghettos to 'a legacy of slavery' even though black children grew up with two parents more often under slavery than today.

No society ever thrived because it had a large and growing class of parasites living off those who produce.

Intellect is not wisdom.

Compassion is good but politicians have turned compassion into the welfare state.

Military pay has been allowed to lag behind to the point where career enlisted men with families to feed have been forced to resort to food stamps.

High tax rates that people don't actually pay do not bring the government as much revenue as lower tax rates that they do pay.

No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems - of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.
