"We've got a few unhappy faces about that, but this is a good thing." -Michelle Obama
She was talking about taking away tasty food from children and replacing it with fruits & vegetables as a part of her new health kick for the nation. This made quote of the day, however, because it is a snapshot of the entirety of the difference between Socialism/Communism/Facism/Marxism/Leninism/Statism etc. and Liberty:
The leftist does not respect your rights as an individual. The individual is subordinate to the State. You want to keep your land without paying taxes? You want to have a cookie after your school lunch? How does it feel to want?
The proponent of liberty takes the opposite view: the State is an agent of the People. When the People's rights come into conflict with the State, the State can just sit down and STFU.
A large part of this is the fact that, deep down on the inside, the leftist knows that she is smarter than all you yokels out there. If you people would only listen and obey, everything would work out just fine! This time, she means. Not like all those other times that killed over 100,000,000 people who did nothing wrong. No, she's smarter than the ones that tried it before, too. Now if only someone would could "make them agree. Someone wise, and powerful."
