"But liberty, uncontrolled by virtue, quickly becomes license, and license produces a climate of licentiousness. It is that condition in which we presently find ourselves. No power on earth can free a people from this vice grip. Remaining in such a condition is the greatest threat to our liberties." - Cal Thomas
This is an excellent book that addresses the most profound issues confronting the American people today in 2010. Questions of morality, taxation without representation, usurpation of power, federal powers overriding states' rights, of a Supreme Court without accountability, all are carefully considered here, with ample bibliography and citations.
