For what Britons and Canadians pay in taxes for their miserable government health service, they ought to be entitled to three terminal diseases a year. – The incomparable Mark Steyn, being the incomparable Mark Steyn. (Personally, I find the NHS so unspeakable that I try to delay going to the doctor until those times that I visit Australia. But that might be just me).

 There are more instances of the abridgment of freedoms of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. – James Madison September 30th, 2004 | 2 comments - (Comments are closed)

George W. Bush is a lying, collectivist, protectonist, big-government statist and I despise him. The only, and I do mean only reason I want him to win the election against the other lying, collectivist, protectonist, even bigger-government statist who I despise is to see the stunned faces of those people on the left when they get their arses kicked. Its an expensive ‘cheap thrill’ but I take ’em where I find ’em. September 23rd, 2004 | 59 comments - (Comments are closed)

Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal well meaning but without understanding. – Louis D Brandeis September 21st, 2004 | 5 comments - (Comments are closed)

The left thinks that the issues around the TANG service are relevant – Bush was AWOL then, Bush lied about WMD, both instances involve acronyms, and can’t you SEE the cloven hooves? It’s the same sort of thing that gripped the feverish elements of the Right in the 90s: Clinton winked at drug-smuggling out of Mena, therefore he sold nuclear secrets to the Chinese for campaign donations. ISN’T IT CLEAR? But that sort of nonsense was confined the margins; the editor of the Clinton Chronicles wasn’t sitting in the presidential suite at the 2000 convention like Michael Moore sitteth at the left hand of Jimmy Carter in 2004.

Compassionate conservatism is as insubstantial a notion as the Third Way — a circumlocution to avoid having to choose among conflicting values and competing claims to scarce resources. To talk of a compassionate or caring society is to turn a noble personal virtue into a destructive political affectation. September 15th, 2004 | 34 comments - (Comments are closed)
