Us vs Them

From The American Spectator, an article written by Angelo M. Codevilla, professor emeritus of international relations at Boston University.

Us on the right are a wildly diverse bunch who oppose collectivism and champion individuality. We think the Constitution is pretty much all we need for laws and want government do its job in the least intrusive way possible. Most of us know that we need a strong military in order to maintain the peace and although generous and willing to help those less fortunate, we oppose redistribution of our earnings.

Them on the left are a conglomeration of special interest groups who are willing to subsume their immediate goals into the collective. Using methods outlined in Alinsky's, Rules for Radicals and other books, they've worked tirelessly toward their goal of world socialism by creating monstrous bureaucracies to confiscate our earnings and prod into every area of our lives.

This article goes into detail about how difficult, if not impossible, it will be for us to undo the damage they've done over the past almost hundred years.
