Reader comments about this quote:

Morality makes the defining difference. The education of a sociopath yields a well educated, thus a more nearly redoubtable than he or she otherwise would be, sociopath. The essential difference such as exists between the cultivation of the Virtue of an unfolding character and the impartation of knowledge to an evolving ego. -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill 2
Not shooting the messenger - I like it. There is a reason government is the way it is - more theocratic seminary (government school). -- Mike, Norwalk 2
-- DENNIS KOLB, WARRENTON
F'n Hilarious!! -- AL, DC 1
Mike, well said. -- jim k, Austin
FDR, would know ! Attended elite educational institutions such as Groton School, Harvard College and Columbia Law School. Maybe a shot across the bow as a reminder, FDR is Not a friend of Liberty and Freedom. -- Ronw13, Oregon 2
FDR ought to know! How do you think railroad tycoons became railroad tycoons? Theft and graft among college friends. ;-) -- E Archer, NYC
Do not forget that FDR and his ilk believes that all property is communal and when you buy property you are, in their opinion stealing it from those that deserve that money more than you. That is why fraises like "give back" are thought up. What you have you have at the expense of those who have not. If you get a job you did so at the expense of those who did not get one. "You didn't build that" and hundreds of other Marxist phrases are put into our language to soften our minds by repetition. We then gradually move in the direction that leaves us not offended at the sound of them because we no longer examine them closely. All progressives (I do mean all) hate the constitution and the idea of property rights. Progressives are just as fascist/Marxist as any other dictator, they just realize that to win America over to their way of thinking it has to be done very slowly. -- warren, olathe
