I was particularly taken by this comment in response to some typical right wing libertarian idiocy:-
Since the industrial revolution, the world has experienced unregulated free markets, total state control of economies, and mixed economies in which the excesses of free markets were mitigated by the state. Take off your ideological blinkers and answer honestly: which of these models worked best?
Are food, shelter and clothing fundamental human rights? How do fundamental human rights square with right wing libertarian ideals? What happens when the right to life bumps up against the right to liberty?
