“Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people).

We have a Republic, not a democracy. Our Founders understood the threat of the tyranny of the majority, which is why we have the Constitution. Unfortuantely, the Left believes in a "living Constitution," which means they can say they can define what it means. Instead of limiting government, they want to use it to increase government power over us and define what our rights are.

But the mere fact that Will is now calling 0bama a “radical” is something. That is was allowed in the pages of the Washington Compost is even more astonishing.

Yeah, a radical like Wilson, LBJ, and FDR. I had it with Will a few years ago when I heard him speak at a CPAC dinner where he lectured us on how we had to accept amnesty. The attendees booed and shouted at him, which stopped Will in his tracks. He looked like a deer in the headlights. He couldn't understand our reaction, which was astounding to us. Somehow, the Rule of Law is an alien concept to Will.

Will is an inside the beltway type who identifies with the political elite who know what is best for us. He lives in a bubble divorced from reality.

One good thing about the Great Recession is that no won with a straight face can argue that there's a shortage of low skilled labor. Deporting illegals should be just a start. Repealing the Kennedy - Javits Immigration Act of 1965 should be next.
