“Liberals have a new wish every time their latest wish is granted. Conservatives should make them spell out their principles and ideals.

The predictable result is that they always get more, and it's never enough.” ShouldEnoughPoliticsWishGoalTermResultsPrinciplesIdealsUltimateDebatePursueThanksGrantedOpponentsDestinationSpellsRevealingDefiningPredictableNegligence Author:Joseph Sobran
