— “You are not entitled to what I earn.” “I started paying taxes when I was 13, and I’m 61 now and still paying them.” ”We want to stop all of the spending.” ”It’s not about age. It’s not about race.

(Side note: At the Lakewood Ranch tea party, in the events’ great spirit of bipartisanship, one speaker accused all liberals of being lazy and living on the government dime, before informing the crowd that Obama is one-third Arab. How can you be one-third anything?)

— Sayings from the mouth of Hannah Wallace’s boyfriend.
