American Gripes
Amid all the change hoping, gnashing of teeth, rending of garments and wringing of hands, here’s the grand view from Maggies Farm:
In America in 2008, the only serious problems we face are the problems which our Founders intentionally handed us - the eternal problems which are our proud inheritance: maintaining freedom from the powers of our own government, and protecting our freedom from the external forces which threaten our personal freedom and our country. The former, I believe, is more of a challenge than the latter: we will, in time, always succeed in the latter when we want to.
But how do you run a national campaign on that?

Although I am not as sanguine as the writer at Maggie’s Farm, it seems to me that this is more of a problem now than at any previous point in my lifetime.
