The very concept of law that protects us from tyranny has been lost. No longer the people's shield, law has become a weapon in the hands of government.

As the growing emphasis on feelings crowds out reason, facts will play a smaller role in public discourse.

In U.S. politics, 'compassion' means giving money and privileges to well organized interest groups at everyone else's expense.

Unequal group rights, the politics of redistribution and a Constitution whose meaning varies with changeable coalitions are a recipe for civil war.

The notion that Americans can be protected from "terror" by giving up the Bill of Rights is absurd. Democrats are complicit in this absurd notion. Many were intimidated into voting for police state legislation, because they lacked the intestinal fortitude to call police state legislation by its own name. The legislation that has been passed during the Bush regime is far more dangerous to Americans than Muslim terrorists.

A country in which 42% of the population is totally misinformed is not a country where democracy is safe.

Americans have no idea why they have been at war in the Middle East, Asia and Africa for a decade. They don't realize that their liberties have been supplanted by a Gestapo Police State. Few understand that hard economic times are here to stay.
