“The Forgotten Man, now as then, is a beast to be burdened, something to be bargained for, not with. In education and employment he’s commanded by the corrupt to stand aside for the incompetent, the improvident and perpetually needful, even the criminal illegal. He’s embezzled by default and slandered in absentia. He’s the uncaring, unfeeling malignancy in the national narrative of righteous struggle. His liberty merits no discussion other than how it may be reduced, and why not, his worth has been reckoned at less than a spotted owl or a snail darter.” Ol Remus
