I'd Like To Think Of Myself As

If We Stuck To The Constitution As Written, We Would Have: No Federal Meddling In Our Schools; No Federal Reserve; No U.s. Membership In The Un; No Gun Control; And No Foreign Aid. We Would Have No Welfare For Big Corporations, Or The "poor"; No American Troops In 100 Foreign Countries; No Nafta, Gat, Or "fast-track"; No Arrogant Federal Judges Usurping States Rights; No Attacks On Private Property; No Income Tax. We Could Get Rid Of Most Of The Agencies, And Most Of The Budget. The Government Would Be Small, Frugal, And Limited.

After Years Spent In Washington, I Have Become More Aware Than Ever Of The Government's Ineptness And The Likelihood Of Its Making Mistakes. I No Longer Trust The U.s. Government To Invoke And Carry Out A Death Sentence Under Any Conditions.

I'm Always Looking For An Opportunity To Bring Progressive Democrats Together With Some Conservative Libertarian Types, Because There Are Places Where We Can Agree.

Critics Of Nafta And Cafta Warned At The Time That The Agreements Were Actually A Move Toward ... An Eventual Merging Of North America Into A Border-free Area. Proponents Of These Agreements Dismissed This As Preposterous And Conspiratorial. Now We See That The Criticisms Appear To Be Justified.

In Wartime, People Willing To Sacrifice Liberty For Security.
