Tuesday Short Cuts

Insight: “Love your country, but never trust its government.” —American writer Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)

Upright: “When any branch of government can exercise powers not authorized by either statutes or the Constitution, ‘we the people’ are no longer free citizens but subjects, and our ‘public servants’ are really our public masters. And America is no longer America. The freedom for which whole generations of Americans have fought and died is gradually but increasingly being taken away from us with smooth and slippery words. This decision makes next year’s choice of the next President of the United States more crucial than ever, because with that office goes the power to nominate justices of the Supreme Court.” —Thomas Sowell

Braying Jenny: “[O]ne thing you also said was that you would support a Texas state clerk who refused to issue a license to a gay couple on religious grounds. Let me ask you this: If a state clerk refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple, would you agree with that, too?” —NBC’s Savannah Guthrie to Ted Cruz

Dezinformatsia: “Now’s the Time To End Tax Exemptions for Religious Institutions” —Time magazine

Eco-alarmism: “This December, the world must unite behind a common goal. Because look, this is it. This is our only planet, our only life source. This may be our last chance.” —Robert Redford

Demo-gogues: “We need to join the rest of the industrialized world. We are the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care to all people as a right, and yet we end up spending much more than they do. So I do believe that we have to move toward a Medicare for all, single-payer system.” —Vermont Sen. and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (Because it worked so well in Vermont?)

And last… “Obama hailed the Supreme Court decision … to uphold federal subsidies in the Affordable Care Act. He cited anecdotal evidence to claim the program is working. In a recent survey, seventy-two percent of doctors say they think Obamacare is terrific as long as you don’t get sick.” —Argus Hamilton
