I am a bit surprised that FFF

would post this quote, but here goes:

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined. -- Patrick Henry

I'm listening to David Strom on Taxpayers' League Live (I'll link them when they start audio streaming) interview Vin Weber. He's ripping John Kerry. Strom had some nice things to say about Jonathan Edwards, but only because the Dems didn't choose him.

Of course, he would have been the greater threat to American Freedom and the economy as a trial lawyer would got filthy rich by raping and pillaging it. Bankers and subsidized industries (who get protections and taxpayer money we ordinary citizens don't) may have been the greater threat to the American economy, but the trial lawyers have not attacked what is really wrong, they've just jumped on the bandwagon. Hell, all these safety labels are just a subsidy to the printing industry. Or rather, a few printing companies.

Kerry, of course, is a threat to American safety and sovereignty.
