only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
I don’t do a lot of political posts here; this blog is mostly about my family. I guess the 2008 primaries are finally getting to me. I’m not saying there will be regular commentary here on the presidential race or politics in general, but now and then, I just have something to say.
There’s been a bit of internet hoopla over the “oops!” moment when Judge Andrew Napolitano called Stephen Colbert “Bill” (assumingly O’Reilly) when he appeared on The Daily Show. It kind of left Colbert speechless which, of course, is quite unusual. It was a great comedic moment but it took focus away from something the Judge said just before that moment.
Freedom is the default position.
Everything the government does takes away some of our freedom…
That’s why we have a constitution, to restrain the government.
I can’t even add anything to that. It’s got to be one of the most profound statements I’ve heard this entire primary season. It is, simply, the truth.
For those who are interested in the Judge’s thoughts on our government and our nation, his latest book is A Nation Of Sheep
Oh, and if you missed his appearance on The Daily Show, enjoy!
