From the page: "Ron Miller eloquently summarized Rev. Jackson by saying:

Rev. Jackson's mindset is one of bondage. We shrugged off the chains of slavery and Jim Crow, only to create our own chains within the black community, demanding unanimity of thought and action, and unquestioned loyalty to one party and ideology. A black man, like all men, is meant to be free in body, mind and spirit, for we are all created in God's image. Rev. Jackson has no authority to dictate to anyone who is or isn't a black man."

From the page: "from Gary North:

"It is true that democracy undermines freedom when voters believe they can live off of others' productivity, when they modify the commandment: 'Thou shalt not steal, except by majority vote.' The politics of plunder is no doubt destructive of both morality and the division of labor." "

From the page: On the eve of Saturday's showdown in the Senate over health-care reform, Democratic leaders still hadn't secured the support of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), one of the 60 votes needed to keep the legislation alive. The wavering lawmaker was offered a sweetener: at least $100 million in extra federal money for her home state.

And so it came to pass that Landrieu walked onto the Senate floor midafternoon Saturday to announce her aye vote -- and to trumpet the financial "fix" she had arranged for Louisiana. "I am not going to be defensive," she declared. "And it's not a $100 million fix. It's a $300 million fix."

They don't even try to hide the fact that they are being bought anymore!
