The quantum leap to the left aside, the biggest threat to freedom I see is the Kremlin-style, toe the party line mentality that has emerged in our national politics. Don't question, don't think. Our leaders know better, our motives are pure, we know what's best for you. If you do not conform, we will punish you in a hundred different ways. Those who control by threat or intimidation are not leaders at all.

The once proud-to-be-self-reliant right have gotten lazy. I see plenty of folks here who admit that they're less than delighted, but who seem resigned to the fact that they have no other option but to hold the nose and pull a lever.

Who works for whom here?
