Random Endorsement
"I’ve spent the last few minutes reading your blog and have really enjoyed the time spent there. Although, I suspect you and I would find many things to disagree on politically, as Christians we have so very much in common. Isn’t it great how the Lord can reconcile folks that have disagreements in other areas!"Guy Cannon, My Damascus Road -

random thought of the moment:
Freedom, as people enjoyed it in the democratic countries of Western civilization in the years of the old liberalism’s triumph, was not a product of constitutions, bills of rights, laws, and statutes. Those documents aimed only at safeguarding liberty and freedom, firmly established by the operation of the market economy, against encroachments on the part of officeholders. No government and no civil law can guarantee and bring about freedom otherwise than by supporting and defending the fundamental institutions of the market economy. Government means always coercion and compulsion and is by necessity the opposite of liberty. Government is a guarantor of liberty and is compatible with liberty only if its range is adequately restricted to the preservation of economic freedom. Where there is no market economy, the best-intentioned provisions of constitutions and laws remain a dead letter.
