>> they'd understand why Liberty and Democracy go hand in hand with economic freedoms I agree, but that understanding is increasing lost to history. Today is all about the handout. Tejek's recent comments make it clear. Liberals increasingly prefer communism over divided government. And communism always seems to become a dictatorship. >> It's an extreme naiveté to think that we can take these grand leaps to the nanny state and not accelerate our slide down the slippery slope to destroying what our founders fought for. The liberal of today has no concern for the founding principles of the country. The constitution is just an obsolete obstacle to their aims. That Ezra Klein article comes to mind where he complains that the constitution is irrelevant because it is so old. Looks like that slippery slope is turning into a swinging wrecking ball. Enjoy the ride!
