The Difference in Conservatives, Moderates, and Liberals

“Moderates believe in splitting the differences. The mean-spirited conservatives don’t want a federal program designed to guarantee that small children never again get splinters. The impractical liberals want to implement the program, costing billions, right away.

It should come as no surprise that these are the politicians I despise the most.” —Jonah Goldberg
