Government of the People, by the People, for the People? . . .

[redcliffsw]

It was a lie under Lincoln, and it's been a lie ever since, says Mike Rozeff.

Common law has fallen and civil codes have risen. Self-reliance has fallen and expert rule has risen. Individual responsibility has fallen and social causation risen. Neutrality has fallen and expansionism risen. Negative rights have fallen and positive rights risen. Moral codes have fallen and pragmatism risen. Distrust of the State has fallen and trust in the State has risen. God has fallen and the State has risen.
