There has been so much power concentrated. There is no leash on that power anymore and Americans face the situation that this power is getting momentum with each passing year with each presidency.

Freedom is whatever the president says it is, pending revision.

Today's citizen is obliged to find his freedom only in the narrow ruts pre-approved by his bureaucratic overlords. "Risk-free liberty" is the ideal of the Welfare State: citizens are permitted only liberties which have been declawed, defanged, neutered, certified and wrapped in benevolent restrictions.

It is one of the great tragedies of the US, that most learn most of what they know about the government from the government.

For the average person walking down a dark street late at night, a promise from a politician is worth far less than a .38 Special.

The key question for many voters is: How much is the candidate offering for my vote?

American democracy is capsizing as a result of the vast increase in the number of government dependents and government employees.
