Quote of the Day

Radio talk host Dennis Prager, writing in National Review, about the diminishing impact of the American idea.

Since its inception, the Left has opposed the American idea, and for good reason. Everything the American idea represents undermines leftist ideas. And the Left, unlike most Americans, has always understood that either the Left is right or America is right.

America stands for small government, a free economy (and therefore capitalism), liberty (and it therefore allows for liberty’s inevitable consequence, inequality), the “melting pot” ideal, and a God-centered population rooted in Judeo-Christian values (so that a moral society is created by citizens exercising self-control rather than relying on the state to impose controls).

The Left disagrees with everything America stands for. One thing is certain: we've gotten as far as we have in spite of the Left, not because of it.
