I believe it referred specifically to government.

“Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end, and no sense of responsibility at the other.” [Attributed to him, at least.](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan)

Or another good one -

Or the classic -

My old bumper sticker seemed to offend all equally. It read, **Stupid People Shouldn’t Breed**. Used to get many nasty stares. Stares were fine, as long as they didn’t breed.😃

Actually, i’d amend that:

Change “Appeasing…” to “Actively aiding and supporting…”

Although, to be fair, this has been a rather bipartisan aspect of American foreign policy.

I’d really like to see **Jesus was a liberal** bumper stickers. Cause he, you know, was.

For those who don’t feel like clicking, it reads **Jesus was a liberal Jew**. I don’t know, it doesn’t have as much punch to me. I’d prefer to focus purely on his liberalism, since liberal has become such a dirty word to a lot of very pro-Jesus people.

Well, Jesus would probably be a liberal if he were teleported to America. But moreover, he would be a _leftist_: although his views would be more centrist than the liberal label would suggest, he would nonetheless prefer to tweak conservatives more than liberals.

Good ol’ Northern Sun! Even if you don’t want to buy anything, send them some money anyway.

Anyway…

A liberal wants to eliminate all injustice. A conservative is more selective.
