      So many things.  My favorite would be:  While conservatives are forever judge by their worst excesses, liberals are judged by their best intentions.  Their ideas may not work, they may leave disaster in their wake, but the dream lives on.  Something like that.

    "What we really ought to ask the liberal, before we even begin addressing his agenda, is this: In what kind of society would he be a conservative?" -Joseph Sobran, "Pensees: Notes for the Reactionary of Tomorrow," National Review (12/31/1985)

    You gave me a copy when you worked at the Chamber and I was on the board, along with a recording of Sobran reading it. The tape is probably brittle by now. I'd love to have an MP3 of it.

      I went to look up the online version and it has been taken down.  I think I have a hard copy I can scan as one of The Articles.  I hate it when I forget such lines.

      I don't have an MP3 of it, only clips of the recording in MP3.  I'll post them as The Audios.
