The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
A lot has happened in our great nation since Ole Hickory was in office. We had a civil war that stomped on a fair number of our liberties, and started a trend that continues on today. We also sent our sons to go fight and die in foreign wars for which we had no purpose or reason, with our leaders using the excuse that it was “the patriotic thing to do”. We’ve sold our nations soul repeatedly to special interests, both domestic and abroad. We gave up our sovereign claim to financial freedom to international bankers. We imposed a levy on the free man’s labor, thus reducing his freedom. We’ve taken land that wasn’t ours and expoited/destroyed native culture in the name of progress and manifest destiny. We’ve interfered with countless nations’ governance to serve a few power brokers interests. We kill innocent children just because they haven’t yet been born.
