If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn't be here. It'd still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.

There seems to be an increasing awareness of something we Americans have known for some time - that the ten most dangerous words in the English language are "Hi, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers...

America has never gotten in a war because we were too strong.
