Here is a nice quote for our "Democrat" friends who are really our "Socialist" friends and do not understand the difference. You might recognize it TNG, check page 91 of the book we are both reading and let's see if they can even figure it out.
"Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom. Democracy attaches all possible values to each man, while socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equlaity in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."

yes, great quote. here's one of my own:
"the statist believes that if we can't all be equal in wealth and happiness we might as well be equal it poverty and misery."
--TNG, 2009
another quote i like is on the back of the book:
"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incomplatible names -- liberty and tyranny.
--Abraham Lincoln, 1864
