Notable Quote – Jonah Goldberg

by Skip

…the Democrats are pressing ahead with health care out of a deep-seated desire to fundamentally transform the relationship between citizens and government…The aim of progressivism since at least FDR has been to turn citizens into clients. Under the conservative vision, governments depend on citizens to maintain legitimacy, not to mention revenue. Under the progressive vision, clients depend on the state for legitimacy and, increasingly, revenue.

- Jonah Goldberg (syndicated columnist, author, speaker)

The question becomes: who owns who?

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.
