Henninger: Santorum and Freedom - WSJ.com

Thought of the day....

People could live with big. It's too big that's getting to them. Under the Obama presidency, something outside the norm happened. Amid ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, the $800 billion stimulus injection and a federal spending boom, something snapped in the steady-state relationship between many citizens and Washington. A lot of people feel the government, finally, is really starting to crowd them. It has made them uneasy. For the Santorum audience, the call-and-response word to push back against the unease is "freedom."

Government will ALWAYS grow to big. This is what revolutions and civil wars solve. The current resident of the Whitehouse is not just the face of the leviathan but the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the United States. If he gets re-elected then the nation deserves everything that it gets.
