"If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it is free." -P.J. O'Rourke
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn the flag." -Zell Miller
"Taxation with representation ain't so hot either." -Gerald Barzan, writer
