Insight: “Society is composed of men, and every man is a FREE agent. Since man is free, he can choose; since he can choose, he can err; since he can err, he can suffer. I go further: He must err and he must suffer; for his starting point is ignorance, and in his ignorance he sees before him an infinite number of unknown roads, all of which save one lead to error.” —Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)

Upright: “Nostalgic politicians, such as central planners Clinton and Sanders and billionaire dealmaker Trump, promise to effortlessly reproduce supposed glorious pasts. Free market politicians, such as Rubio and Cruz, have the harder task of promising a better future they cannot exactly describe, because markets always produce surprises planners can’t anticipate.” —Michael Barone

Non Compos Mentis: “Libya was a different kind of calculation and we didn’t lose a single person.” —Hillary Clinton (Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were unavailable for comment.)

Even more than Chris Christie, he was there, right? Even more.” —Donald Trump (Trump followed up by telling Christie, who has endorsed him, “I hated to do that, but I had to make my point.”)

The BIG lie: “I never said I was going to pay [my supporters’ legal] fees.” —Donald Trump on his supporters throwing punches (Actually, yes you did.)

Next step — getting everyone enrolled in public universities: “I am not proposing free college for all. What I am proposing is free tuition at public colleges and universities.” —Bernie Sanders

Faith: “If we recognize [what the Islamic State is doing to Christians] as genocide, it is the first step in recognizing the truth that has happened to us. To not say the truth means you are giving to the terrorists a green light — go ahead and kill the Christians. The end of the story will be when people reconcile, forgive, and go to the next step — and live in harmony again.” —Father Douglas al-Bazi, an Iraqi Christian

And last… “Obama watched the live broadcasts of chaos in Chicago. Too bad they never had a community organizer. Oh, wait…” —Twitter satirist @weknowwhatsbest
