Whenever a class of people, self-anointed, seeks to impose Utopia on the world, a dark and all-consuming evil ignites the minds of men with unquenchable fire. Whenever a group of people seeks to arrogate the power of the people to themselves, a dark and all-consuming evil compels men to consign millions to the pit. It is not merely that power corrupts but that some people are compelled to corrupt democratically distributed power through statist centralization. They suffer under the “illusion of central position” but their state-centered machines of murder proliferate.

ReplyDeleteLike everyone else in this country, I was spoonfed on Abraham Lincoln mythology by our indoctrination centers.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
There is a statue of Abraham Lincoln outside the state capitol building here, as a reminder; a government that can't rule by consent, rules by force.
