Land of the Free

Principal Skinner: I caught your son defacing school property this morning. We estimate the damage is $75, and frankly, we think it's terribly unfair that other taxpayers should foot the bill.

Homer:Yeah, it's a crummy system, but what are you going to do?

Barney Gumble: An election!? That's one of those deals where they close the bars, isn't it?

Mr. Burns: This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you.

Smithers: You are noble and poetic in defeat, sir.

Homer: Oh. My dreams will go unfulfilled? Oh, no! I don't like the sound of that one bit. That means I have nothing to hope for. Marge, make it better please, can't you make it better, huh?

Marge: Homer, when a man's biggest dreams include seconds on dessert, occasional snuggling and sleeping in 'til noon on weekends, no one man can destroy them.

Homer: Kids, kids. I'm not going to die. That only happens to bad people.

Bart: What about Abraham Lincoln?

Homer: He sold poisoned milk to school children.

Homer:

It's hard to believe there's a place worse than America, but we found it!

Mr Burns: I too am feeling a renewed appreciation for the old US of A, where oppression and government harassment are a small price to pay to live in the land of the free.

Homer: The government knows which library books I'm checking out. Next they'll want to know what operas I attend!

Homer(to a tribe of Native Americans): You people are guests in our country.

Bart: You we're telling me about the time you got out of doing jury duty.

Homer: Oh yeah! It's easy; just tell them that you're prejudiced against all races.

Homer: Marge, please, you don't know how big this government thing is. It goes all the way to the president.

Homer: Lisa, the whole reason we have elected officials is so we don't have to think for ourselves.
