“This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man. For almost two centuries we have proved man’s capacity for self-government, but today we are told we must choose between a left and right or, as others suggest, a third alternative, a kind of safe middle ground. I suggest to you there is no left or right, only an up or down. Up to the maximum of individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism; and regardless of their humanitarian purpose those who would sacrifice freedom for security have, whether they know it or not, chosen this downward path”.
-Ronald Reagan
IMO, Huckabee has chosen that downward path and has been, unfortunately, embraced by Social Christian conservatives.
TK, we are agreeing today, and on a Paul thread of all things...
travis, disclaimer: I gotta have this beautiful drop of Reaganesque wisdom for my FR homepage, so I’m plagarizing it :)
