The Fact Is That The New Deal

He [the Statist] Is Unmoved By Reason, Evidence, And History.

I Realized That Conservatism Was The Philosophy That Best Suited Me, With Its Emphasis On Individual Liberty, Personal Responsibility, And Merit.

Activist Supreme Courts Are Not New. The Dred Scott Decision In 1856, Imposing Slavery In Free Territories; The Plessy Decision In 1896, Imposing Segregation On A Private Railroad Company; The Korematsu Decision In 1944, Upholding Franklin Roosevelt’s Internment Of American Citizens, Mostly Japanese Americans; And The Roe Decision In 1973, Imposing Abortion On The Entire Nation; Are Examples Of The Consequences Of Activist Courts And Justices.

The Statist Veils His Pursuits In Moral Indignation, Intoning In High Dudgeon The Injustices And Inequities Of Liberty And Life Itself, For Which Only He Can Provide Justice And Bring A Righteous Resolution.

Where Utopianism Is Advanced Through Gradualism Rather Than Revolution, Albeit Steady And Persistent As In Democratic Societies, It Can Deceive And Disarm An Unsuspecting Population, Which Is Largely Content And Passive. It Is Sold As Reforming And Improving The Existing Society's Imperfections And Weaknesses Without Imperiling Its Basic Nature. Under These Conditions, It Is Mostly Ignored, Dismissed, Or Tolerated By Much Of The Citizenry And Celebrated By Some. Transformation Is Deemed Innocuous, Well-intentioned, And Perhaps Constructive But Not A Dangerous Trespass On Fundamental Liberties.
