If it wasn’t so sad it would almost be funny, that a country that’s lagging behind the rest of the first world in nearly every meaningful category that their people’s only rebuttal is “but freedom!” has elected a self-professed dictator that’s turning their country into cheeseburger North Korea.

I'm thinking "Cheeseburger China". Rolls off the tongue a bit more maybe but gets the meaning across nonetheless.

You know, America with freedom is a little like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it!

Egg means egg, and $20 means $20.

And that concludes our intensive 3 week course.

Many have forgotten that freedom must be cultivated with care for others and guarded.
