A few (unposted) favorites of mine:
We dont have a trillion-dollar debt because we havent taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.
You know, I like your White House photographers motto, One picture is worth a thousand denials.
The United Sates has much to offer the third world war.
Yep, exactly. Here are a couple of other gems:
"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."
"Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."
"Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them."
"History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap."
"I favor the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and it must be enforced at gunpoint if necessary."

I agree & I had never seen that quote before. I am still laughing & grinning from ear to ear. Great quote!

This is a GREAT thread!
