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?
