Among these rights, he said, are:

The difference between a conservative and a liberal is that a conservative believes in equality of opportunity, while a liberal believes in equality of outcomes.

Telling people they have a "right" to a certain outcome is as liberal as it gets.

Like all liberal pies in the sky, y'all can promise it but you can't deliver it.

Because there's no such thing as a free lunch.

And that's why, 60 years later, we are no closer to any of the "rights" that Roosevelt promised.

we should be raising a toast to F.D.R. and his progressive ideas.

In terms of domestic policy, I think we should be recognizing that he was a total bum, unworthy of the office he held or the admiration still paid him in certain fading quarters.

von Mises and Hayek were right.
