Rush Limbaugh Quotes
Ever since Marx, leftists have known that the simplest way to controlling a country is via education, the news industry, and health care.

Like most things conservatives opposed, the association of a program or reform with communism traditionally stirred opposition, even to something as benign as child labor regulation.
