I go hot and cold on Mark Levin. But his column yesterday was
the lead link at Doug Ross’s Director’s Blue blog, and it’s a good one. Here’s
his conclusion:
Challenge socialists on this single
point: What is their endgame?
When is enough government control
enough? Why won’t socialists -- or Democrat Socialist -- share their blueprint
for society? What industry is a “bridge too far” for socialism? Why can’t they
tell us what their limits are on taxation, control of industry, and how much of
society should be dependent upon their handouts?
Conservatives know their endgame:
it is called the United State Constitution. These four pages of wisdom,
condensed instructions gleaned from thousands of years of human experience,
ended up germinating the most magnificent nation-state yet to arise from
humanity’s tumult.
And a great percentage of our
fellow citizens neither recognize nor appreciate the magnificent society with
which they have been bequeathed. They take for granted this unique and precious
anomaly in the context of human history.
Only education can help them. Not
all of them, to be sure, but many: those who possess both open minds and a
willingness to learn.
He asks a good question, one which my ultra-liberal friends
and relatives might have difficulty responding to. The full article is here.
