Somewhere along the line contemporary society got this notion that we are more compassionate, more loving than our narrow forefathers. After all, they allowed slavery, killed animals, and smoked cigarettes

The tyranny of the minor ratty

[SAMWolf]

Today we have a Republican President. A Republican majority in the House and Senate. A supposedly “conservative” Supreme Court. A growing army of conservative talk show hosts, authors, and columnists. And we’re losing ground. The federal government continues to grow, and our culture continues to spin out of control.

Great article. This paragraph is the one that irks me the most. I'm beginning to believe there is nothing we can do to change things anymore. The Libs are still getting their agenda passed even though they technically aren't in control anymore. Most of the Republicans won't stand up to them and keep caving into the minority.

They smoked unfiltered cigarettes no less. ;-)
