"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try Liberty; for Liberty is an acknowledgement of faith in God and His works" - Frederic Bastiat

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" - President Ronald Reagan

"If your beliefs are worth dying for then your life is worth living" - Guy Average

HolyCoast.com: Teddy Kennedy Was Against Universal Health Care Before He Was For It

HolyCoast.com: Teddy Kennedy Was Against Universal Health Care Before He Was For It Interesting stuff from Rick Moore at HolyCoast. It seems that if a Republican POTUS proposed Government Health Care then it was not acceptable to Senator Kennedy, who has been a long term champion of Government Health Care. The current proposed legislation ("Bill" is such an appropriate term in some cases, is it not?) for the Government Healthcare debacle is actually named for Senator Kennedy. This sort of reminds me of all the "Don't Fool With Social Security" signs that we saw when George W. Bush proposed doing something to right the ship of the Ponzi Scheme known as Social Security and was opposed by Democrats across the board, the same folks who now think changing Social Security is a good thing. (That's a picture of a Flip-Flop up there. It's a green Flip-Flop so maybe I'll use it for an Al Gore story sometime in the future as well, but for this story it is only significant that it is a Flip-Flop)
