It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government." This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

"Look at all those fetid politicians, smiling through their speeches as the populace bows to them in misery! Look at all those liars, frauds and con artists, feeding off the blindness and stupidity of their counterparts! Do you think I haven’t met their kind?!"
