Quote of the Decade

In honor of the now $800,000,000,000 bailout and other government takeover of the economy, a prophetic repeat from December 13, 2003:

I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free.

Rev. Donald Sensing at Sense of Events: Bush Republicanism = Roosevelt Democratism?

Read Rev. Sensing's whole piece. Consider the last nearly five years since that piece was written.

I wrote the Reverend yesterday morning asking him if, five years later on, his opinion had changed any.

Read his reply.
