I can no more get into the head of a liberal than that proverbial camel can stroll
through the eye of a needle.
Maybe the height of their lunacy is their belief that Muslim terrorists, whether
beheading civilians in Iraq, blowing up school children in Tel Aviv, or placing phone
calls in New York City, are entitled to all the Constitutional guarantees of American
citizens.
Why did five left-wing members of the Supreme Court decide in the Kelo case
that city governments have the right to take away your home if some developer decides
it’s a good site for a mini-mall? As the Russian landowners discovered to their dismay
75 years ago, Stalin, like Kennedy, Souter and the other three lunkheads who get to wear
their bathrobes to work, didn’t believe in private ownership of land and property.
Perhaps I’m on to something here. People like Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot,
recognized that a constant threat to their regimes came from a strong middle class. And
so they either killed them, imprisoned them, or re-educated them by means of whips,
clubs and electrodes.
American liberals, deprived of such tools, have had to settle for the next-best
weapon; namely, the very good friend of just about every tyrant who’s ever lived, the tax
collector. It is the easiest means by which to destroy America’s middle class. The less of
their own money that Americans get to keep, the more dependent they become on the
federal government to provide health, education and housing.
Forty-two years ago, Barry Goldwater was ridiculed for pointing out that Uncle
Sam was our uncle, not our daddy. These days, it seems, we all need reminding that he’s
supposed to be our uncle, not our Big Brother.
