American despotism
Thank you Dr. Walter E. Williams for this:
"President John Adams (1797-1801) said, 'The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.'More»
Unfortunately, our courts have increasingly become tools for powerful vested interests, and the constitutional protections of private property mean less and less each day. The good news is that we have energetic minds at organizations such as the Institute for Justice (www.ij.org) and the Pacific Legal Foundation (www.pacificlegal.org) who are fighting against the emasculation of our Fifth Amendment rights and other constitutional guarantees.
But they cannot do it alone; we must help them. Remember Benjamin Franklin's admonition: 'Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.'"
