It is so discouraging to see that the people of this country lack the intellect or the integrity to see this BS for what it is. All too willing to dash liberty on the rocks of their desires.

They simply re-define liberty as the power of the majority to determine what people are allowed and not allowed to do.

We see it everyday here. How many times have you seen posted, "Just elect people who will get laws you want passed/repealed"? That's the statists reply to every argument. They simply see the "State" as the powertool of the majority.

This one is excellent too. Great line

"All too willing to dash liberty on the rocks of their desires."

But, is it as good as this one? :-)

Isn't that the precise definition of a small d democrat?

It's amazing how many democrats one finds on a 'conservative' web site.
