This guy is harshly Conservative.


"The ignorant classes are the dangerous classes, reminded H. W. Beecher, the great Congregationalist preacher (and brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe), in 'Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit' in 1870. 'Ignorance is the womb of monsters,' he said.
And, oh, to what monsters our society has given birth. Several generations of Americans so little understand the meaning of freedom and liberty that they regularly shill for 'solutions' they are convinced will bolster both, never mind they are antithetical to the heartbeat of a democratic republic.
Take John Kerry, for instance. Monday last in Manchester, N.H., the Democrat presidential hopeful chided President Bush for promising to 'rally the armies of compassion' but leaving 'them high and dry without the resources to wage their battles ... .'
The implication is clear: the only acceptable 'armies of compassion' are those underwritten by the federal government and your tax dollars. God forbid that a president would stand and encourage a return to the kind of robust private charity that government 'beneficence' long ago destroyed. "
