[O]ur liberal friends... have taught themselves to believe an impossible thing. They profess the notion that a free and generous society is not the last best hope of mankind. They confidently believe that the highest and best society is one organized upon a system of universal compulsion and administered by large-minded people like them.
No doubt they truly believe that bureaucratically administered one-size-fits-all is the most evolved and compassionate way of delivering social goods like health care and education. But the poverty of their thinking does not excuse the injustice of their program. The United States was not founded in 1787 so that its rulers 233 years later in 2010 might turn it into a social democracy by a simple majority vote in order to gratify their vanity and reward their supporters.
Our rulers abhor freedom. Rather than allow local jurisdictions to decide on local policy and states to decide on state policy, they impose mandates from the federal level which suffocates independence and liberty.
