Farah:In 1994, for instance, Americans elected Republicans to both houses of Congress for the first time in decades because they promised, among other things, to scrap the tax code. They lied. Let's not mince words. They failed to live up to their "Contract With America," and Americans have not had an opportunity to express their rage against the unconstitutional income tax since.

JCG:I agree with Farah that the tax code is an abomination and should be scrapped but he commits a factual error with regard to the Contract With America. The Republicans of the 104th Congress did exactly what they promised to do with regard to the Contract. It was one of our country's finest hours.

The 104th Congress did perform according to the Contract with America. It was one of the countries finest times. Then, the Clinton propaganda machine began to demonize Congress. Many sheeple in the electorate began to believe the propaganda. At that point, certain R's in swing districts began to fold. A reasonable question might be asked, why should these swing R's give a rat's *ss about reducing big government, if the majority of their consituents don't care?

One of the first casualties of freedom is the truth. Farah can not restore freedom without telling it.
