Blogline of the Day – Restating “the Proper Role of Government”

Great line from a post that RedState re-posted:

These amendments would underscore that the federal government is one of limited and enumerated powers, and that those powers are islands in a sea of rights — rather than rights being islands in a sea of generalized federal power.

We who are Liberty minded believe that it s us that we who give government credence – that government is supposed to guard our rights (“those powers are islands in a sea of rights“).  Progressives, on the other hand, believe that it is Government that deigns to give us rights (“in a sea of generalized federal power“).  We’ve been inverted thanks to them.

Just remember – if you believe in that latter state of affairs,  what will you say when the bear catches you?
