Excerpt of the day - April 13

"As was revealed yesterday re the sham budget “cuts”, the government class’s response to its fiscal fraud is to obscure it via political fraud, a sleight of hand that demonstrates utter contempt for the citizenry. If this is the best they can do, they’re ensuring that everything is going to get worse. Real worse, real poor, real fast."


- Mark Steyn, @ the Corner




And in the comments:


"Indirectly, that evinces utter contempt for the citizenry which STILL reveres the Constitution. But it's the **limitations on their authority** for which their utter contempt is so virulent.

Mr. Steyn, this is what happens when a nation with a WRITTEN Constitution is led by people who deem our Constitution "dead" in the absence of "leaders" "resuscitating" it with injections of their own personal proclivities, aided and abetted by judges who -- with the legal academy as their cheering section -- subvert legal judgment with personal will."
