Freedom Ping!
Sobran, from the article:
The idea of restricting government to “enumerated” powers—a written and finite list—is … alien to today’s American. The only remedies he can think of for big government are term limits and a balanced budget amendment. The lucid and shared philosophy of the Founding Fathers, imperfect as it was, has also become unintelligible to today’s American, who knows only a set of slogans labeled “liberal,” “conservative,” and “moderate.” Of course there are wide areas of consensus; if you are outside those areas, you are an “extremist.”
A great read, BB! The author correctly points out that Sobran's lessons are vitally important now:
"His diagnosis, which applied then, in Bill Clinton’s second term, applies even more today, with his wife in charge of the Department of State and his moral equivalents in charge of everything else."
Have a good day!
