"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies." -- Groucho Marx (source)

 

"Whenever government wants to 'do something,' ask yourself three questions. 1) Who pays for it? 2) How much will it cost? 3) Will it work? With this brief analysis, one almost always finds 'something' is not worth it, is wrongheaded,  or makes things worse." -- Thomas Sowell (source)

 

"[W]e must be careful to avoid making a Messiah out of any ruler or state between now and the eschaton. ... We should be active as much as possible in political solutions, but we should always keep a certain emotional and ideological distance, knowing that the ultimate political solution to every human problem will be riding a white horse (Rev. 19:11), and he will not need the 'evangelical vote.'" -- Russell D. Moore (source)
