Our objection to Obama and his Democrats:
But we assure the socialists that we repudiate only forced organization, not natural organization. We repudiate the forms of association that are forced upon us, not free association. We repudiate forced fraternity, not true fraternity. We repudiate the artificial unity that does nothing more than deprive persons of individual responsibility. We do not repudiate the natural unity of mankind under Providence. – Frederic Bastiat
And, via a reader of NRO’s The Corner, a relevant quote:
Tabulae vero novae quid habent argumenti, nisi ut emas mea pecunia fundum, eum tu habeas, ego non habeam pecuniam. – Cicero
The translation given is, “What is the meaning of a ‘clean slate’, except that you purchase a farm with my money, that you still have the farm, but I no longer have my money?”
