Differences



 
How much better off the American people would be if they could learn the difference between:
  • *investors and speculators
  • *the Constitution ratified by the people of the States and the one promulgated by federal judges
  • *education and training
  • *necessary taxation and an oppressive burden
  • *national defense and foreign interventionism
  • *law enforcement and war
  • *justifiable borrowing and destructive, irresponsible debt
  • *entertainment and moral debasement
  • *celebrity and worth
  • *status and wisdom
  • *status and virtue
  • *affirmative action and equal treatment under the law
  • *a citizen and a non-citizen
  • *a guest and an invader
  • *a “conservative” and a conservative
  • *public life informed by Christianity and politicised churchmen
And especially the American people would profit if they learned not to believe that politics is the realm of doing good. Politics is the realm of vanity, greed, lust, deception, and force.

I am not holding my breath.
