"Nature smiles at the union of freedom and equality in our utopias. For freedom and equality are sworn and everlasting enemies, and when one prevails the other dies. Leave men free, and their natural inequalities will multiply almost geometrically, as in England and America in the nineteenth century under laissez-faire. To check the growth of inequality, liberty must be sacrificed, as in Russia after 1917. Even when repressed, inequality grows; only the man who is below the average in economic ability desires equality; those who are conscious of superior ability desire freedom, and in the end superior ability has its way."

Words directly from the guy who blatenty attacked Cruz following the 21 hours speech.

“John Boy”, tell me once again who the RINO’s are fighting

Thanks for putting in the whole Durant quote. I couldn’t find it in the few minutes I looked.

Durant doesn’t pass judgment, does he? He just says that’s the way it is, huh?

My main point was that I don’t mind arguing, and stalemates among our politicians. What we don’t don’t want is killing or economic damage, but the current arguing is over what is the best way to improve our economy and maintain our freedoms. Perhaps the best way is a compromise, but that has to be banged out.
