"Hensarling also emphasized the need to expand the energy revolution and to stop the massive overregulation that has stunted growth. 'The regulatory red-tape burden, which violates the Founding Fathers' Federalist paper 47 by diminishing the rule of law and increasing bureaucratic power in the executive branch at the expense of the constitutionally mandated legislative branch, has got to be stopped.'"

Republicans, if they are fortunate enough to retake the Senate, must not throw away what may be America's last and only attempt to restore individual liberty and the rule of law, and that task can only be accomplished by restoring the ideas and principles essential to liberty to the "American mind" of 2014 and forward.

Else, 2016 will occur with a still-constitutionally-illiterate voter pool, and determined "progressives" will dominate public discussion.

Technology has made it possible for an innovative group of liberty lovers to capsulize and publicize the ideas which allowed individual freedom to flourish in the first place. So-called "progressives" no longer must be allowed to censor them out of textbooks, hide the Founders' writings in far-away and dusty stacks of libraries, or eliminate them from public discussion because they claim they violate some artificial PC standard they made up.

The opportunity to accomplish that task may have a short shelf life; therefore, those who want to pass on to future generations a nation where "freedom rings" had better begin restoring the ideas of liberty to a nation whose prevailing coercive power centers deny the very ideas which gave birth to freedom and opportunity.
