"It is to me a
new and consolatory proof that wherever the people are
well-informed they can
be trusted with their own government;
that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their
notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."
--Thomas Jefferson |

Liberty
"[Those on] the left complain about the bind
in which they find themselves. They can
spare 40 votes on any House vote, and they
have a Senate majority, but they can't get
anything done. It's as if a genius schemed
against them to thwart their efforts and
require impossibly large majorities to
accomplish something. ... But our founders
didn't set out to frustrate any specific
people. They were concerned with one big
question: how does one prevent a republic
from degenerating into tyranny, as all
historical republics had? ... In Federalist
51 [James Madison] writes: 'It
is of great importance in a republic not
only to guard the society against the
oppression of its rulers, but to guard one
part of the society against the injustice of
the other part. ... If a majority be united
by a common interest, the rights of the
minority will be insecure.' ... Our
constitutional system of government works --
but it works to protect liberty, not allow
those who want to get their agenda passed
and get it passed yesterday to run roughshod
over the minority. Madison warned of such a
system, writing, 'In a society under the
forms of which the stronger faction can
readily unite and oppress the weaker,
anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in
a state of nature.' ... More often than not,
divided government has been the rule. Thus
left and right are both stymied by the
Constitution, which was designed to
frustrate change in favor of freedom.
America is ungovernable because the founders
never intended the lives of Americans to be
governed from the federal capitol."
--columnist Adam Graham

"Pop quiz: What billion-dollar multinational
receives hundreds of millions in tax dollars
even though it is enormously profitable? If
your thoughts turned to defense contractors,
you would be right about the purpose --
killing -- but wrong about the recipient.
The answer, in fact, is Planned Parenthood.
According to its most recent annual report,
in fiscal 2008, Planned Parenthood
Federation of America, the nation's largest
abortion provider, had annual revenue of
more than $1 billion. Of this, about 34
percent was made up of government grants.
In other words, almost $350 million of
American taxpayer dollars supported the work
of Planned Parenthood from October 2007 to
September 2008. And, according to tax
records from the same time period, this
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization had a net
income $85 million greater than its
expenses. That looks suspiciously like a
profit.... The enterprise of abortion in
America is big business. It turns a profit,
and for the American taxpayer, the bailout
of a financial behemoth -- one engaged in an
activity most Americans find troubling -- is
obviously unnecessary. Even without
pondering such moral questions as 'When does
life begin?' and 'What is happening in a
woman's body that abortion stops?' the fact
that this billion-dollar industry needs no
tax support should be enough to stop
taxpayer handouts." --Jeanne Monahan of the
Family Research Council |
