The Left, From Progressive to Oppressive

Michael Ledeen "As Tocqueville forecast, liberty gets tied down by an endless network of regulation, and we become enslaved without ever seeing it happen. That is because we get to vote, and console ourselves with the thought that our rulers serve US. Meanwhile, the Left has legislated (or, when that is impossible, simply ordered) the big State, and staffed it with their own. History is replete with paradoxes, none more anguishing than the perfection of the oppressive State by people claiming to act in the name of liberty." See Abraham Lincoln's prophecy above.

Garrison Keillor: Our Bias Keeps Right-Wingers Alive on the Road

Newsbusters "Keillor draws on a lifetime of experience amongst the hardworking, God-fearing people of the Midwest and pays homage to the common code of civic necessities that arose from the left: Protect the social compact. Defend the powerless. Maintain government as a necessary force for good." His last show for me was when he shamelessly defended Bill Clinton as a Christian.
