Contrary To All The Blather We Here About The Unique Goodness Of The American People Or Our Religious Heritage Or Anything Else, The One Thing That Set This Country Apart From All Others Was The Bill Of Rights.

The Problem Is Big Government. If Whoever Controls Government Can Impose His Way Upon You, You Have To Fight Constantly To Prevent The Control From Being Harmful. With Small, Limited Government, It Doesn't Much Matter Who Controls It, Because It Can't Do You Much Harm.

The American Heritage Was One Of Individual Liberty, Personal Responsibility And Freedom From Government ... Unfortunately ... That Heritage Has Been Lost. Americans No Longer Have The Freedom To Direct Their Own Lives ... Today, It Is The Government That Is Free - Free To Do Whatever It Wants. There Is No Subject, No Issue, No Matter ... That Is Not Subject To Legislation.

[before The Civil Rights Act Of 1964], Many Governments In Southern States Forced People To Segregate By Race. Civil Rights Advocates Fought To Repeal These State Laws, But Failed. So They Appealed To The Federal Government, Which Responded With The Civil Rights Act Of 1964. But This Federal Law Didn't Simply Repeal State Laws Compelling Segregation. It Also Prohibited Voluntary Segregation. What Had Been Mandatory Became Forbidden. Neither Before Nor After The Civil Rights Act Were People Free To Make Their Own Decisions About Who They Associated With.
