We would be much worse without Christianity; but we wouldn’t know it.

Altering the Constitution has become the daily business of the Federal Government which the document is supposed to guide and limit. Both Congress and the judiciary assume, and exercise, countless powers they aren’t entitled to.

Too many voters are already bought – not by corporate campaign donors, but by the government itself.

A Christian can believe that God ‘ordained’ the ‘powers that be’ – including political rulers and slaveholders – for purposes too deep for us to understand fully, and that while they last we must provisionally accept them; but that they were not meant to last forever.

Liberals see the Constitution itself as ‘living’ and ‘evolving’ that is, gradually turning into something that would have been unrecognizable to its authors.

Thus does a ‘necessary evil’ become an idol. Maybe we’re stuck with it. But do we have to worship it?

Most Americans aren’t the sort of citizens the Founding Fathers expected; they are contented serfs. Far from being active critics of government, they assume that its might makes it right.

Nothing annoys a ‘progressive’ like refugees from Communism, who give the lie to the Great Socialist Dream.

If one person in America had starved over the last 20 years, you, reader, would know his name. The media would see to that. It would be the most thoroughly documented death since John Kennedy’s.

Even if we are all doomed to live under the state, it doesn’t follow that there is, or even can be, such a thing as a good state.
