That's the sound of freedom dying.

Reagan summed it up best:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction” -- Ronald Reagan

Reagan, of course, remains right.

Just as Bill remains wrong about who was on the "right side" of civil rights. It wasn't Republicans who blocked civil rights for decades.

It was people like Bill...and you.

Really?

Which party passed the Civil Rights Act? And which party filibustered the bill?

At least it's not suffering anymore.

Mark Steyn said as much.

"If Barack Obama does nothing else in his term in office, this will make him one of the most consequential presidents in history. It's a huge transformative event in Americans' view of themselves and of the role of government. You can say, oh, well, the polls show most people opposed to it, but, if that mattered, the Dems wouldn't be doing what they're doing. Their bet is that it can't be undone, and that over time, as I've been saying for years now, governmentalized health care not only changes the relationship of the citizen to the state but the very character of the people. As I wrote in NR recently, there's plenty of evidence to support that from Britain, Canada and elsewhere
