The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Mandatory Reading: “Collectivism and the Presumption of Guilt”

by Smitty Go over and read this excellent piece by Hayward in full. A taste (emphasis original): This presumption of guilt is absolutely crucial to collectivism. The Left must teach its subjects to think of themselves as criminals. That’s the only way law-abiding people will endure levels of coercive power that would normally require specific […]

#ObamaCare’s Past Schadenfreude, But The Democrat Wreckage Is Still Good
