“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” —Who said this? Mike Pence? Thaddeus McCotter? John Boehner? Actually, it was Cicero in 55 BC - 2,067 years ago. Liberalism was a cancer back then too… (via combattant-de-la-liberte)

“Now a right to health care differs from other rights, such as the right to free speech or freedom of worship. Those rights demand nothing of others but noninterference. By contrast, medical care is an economic good, requiring resources. It must be provided by someone. If Joe needs medical care and cannot pay for it, then to say he has a right to medical care is to say someone else must give it to him, or buy it for him. It means he has a claim on someone else’s resources that cannot be denied.” —Hinkle: Debates of 2010 Raised More Questions | Richmond Times-Dispatch (via conservatarian)
