Some quotes about Liberals

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are

Obviously, Mr. Mill didn't spend much time in *this* newsgroup!
Give him a fish and you feed a man for a day, teach him how to fish
and you feed him for a lifetime... (A conservative) It is this, I
think, that partially differentiates Liberals and Conservatives. To
you, handouts are the way to be unselfish. To me, teaching a trade is
the way to be unselfish.
How do you define 'selfish'? Harry Krause, in an earlier post, said
that conservatives thought selfishness was the greatest good (or words
to that effect). To me, true selfishness is doing whatever is in one's
short and long term best interests. This holds for nations also. Given
this definition, selfishness *is* the greatest good.
Chew on it.
