We’re two decades overdue for a return to Taft’s principles and an end for our bipartisan Wilsonian meddling and empire building.
Indeed. And remember “War is the health of the State,” i.e. the Patriot Act, the expansion under two Presidents of the electronic eavesdropping program, and the whole notion now that since we are still “at war” any expenditure or action is permissable. Limited government conservatives should be skeptical of this perpetual war. I became skeptical immediately upon hearing the terms “War on Terrorism.” A good rule of thumb is that any time the Federal Gubbermint declares “War” on something, that “War” is not meant to be won; it’s only meant to be fought. Examples are “War on Poverty” and “War on Drugs.” Both have chipped away at our liberties, enriched the pimps and hangers-on, and have been anything but a success.
