"We have a socialist party and a theocratic party because so many people refuse to consider or admit that certain things they support, free lunches and forced prayer, are incompatible with freedom."
That's from Gus Van Horn, and he's really right about that "refuse to consider" business. A further problem, though, is that "incompatible with freedom" just doesn't strike many Americans as a problem these days. Too many other things are as important, or more important, than freedom.
Good comment about bloggers as the pamphleteers of the day, too.
What about the people who think freedom is tyranny! Oh god.
