The Hypocrite Recognizes The Honest

By Today's Standards King George Iii Was A Very Mild Tyrant Indeed. He Taxed His American Colonists At A Rate Of Only Pennies Per Annum. His Actual Impact On Their Personal Lives Was Trivial. He Had Arbitrary Power Over Them In Law And In Principle But In Fact It Was Seldom Exercised. If You Compare His Rule With That Of Today's U.s. Government You Have To Wonder Why We Celebrate Our Independence.

If You Want Government To Intervene Domestically, You’re A Liberal. If You Want Government To Intervene Overseas, You’re A Conservative. If You Want Government To Intervene Everywhere, You’re A Moderate. If You Don’t Want Government To Intervene Anywhere, You’re An Extremist.

War Has All The Characteristics Of Socialism Most Conservatives Hate: Centralized Power, State Planning, False Rationalism, Restricted Liberties, Foolish Optimism About Intended Results, And Blindness To Unintended Secondary Results.

There Has Never Been A Humane Communist Regime. Marxism Is Inherently Totalitarian. It Recognizes No Moral Limits On The State. It’s The Most Convenient Ideology For Aspiring Tyrants; It Also Retains Its Appeal For Intellectuals, Who Have Proved Equally Skillful At Rationalizing Abuses Of Power And At Exculpating Themselves.

Nothing Annoys A 'progressive' Like Refugees From Communism, Who Give The Lie To The Great Socialist Dream.
