“When cosseted, millionaire journalists bellow at the great unwashed population for being stupid and racist and selfish, it almost doesn’t matter what they’re yelling about.  The message is clear: We’re the overlords; you’re the serfs; behave yourselves.

Serfs, of course, are supposed to get yelled at.  Citizens aren’t.  Citizens resent it, and then vote accordingly.” - Rob Long

“It isn’t enough to win back power.  Conservatives and classical liberals need to do with that power what needs doing.  Our very liberties are at stake — and it will no longer do to attribute to our ideological opponents the benefit of the doubt that they are good men with whom we merely disagree.  They aren’t:  They are the architects of our country’s demise who hope to rebuild in its stead a new society wherein they take their rightful place as our ruling betters.” - Jeff Goldstein

“...We have for too long conflated the legal structure that has grown layer by layer like a coral reef, with the underlying sources of legitimacy…the Constitution, the will of the people as expressed by their representatives or through popular vote. In short, the consent of the governed.” - “DrewM.”
