The core of the whole article, and, the core of the founding principals:

Only a morally sound society is suited well for self-governance. The founders knew and said it many times. If we want to retain dominion over our own lives, we must govern ourselves in a morally sound fashion. Laws are written to govern those who will not govern themselves. The less we govern ourselves through moral judgments, the more necessary laws become. The more laws we have, the less freedom we have.

No liberal can pass this fundamental test of what it is to be American today!

The core of the whole article, and, the core of the founding principals:...

Absolutely, there was a time not long ago, when the majority of folks did the Right thing for the Right reasons. They required no laws to make them take care of themselves and their families.

Do we actually need laws controlling the length and color of our lawns?

As more and more laws restricting our Freedom are jammed down the throats of Americans, the more violent outbursts will occur.
