As for the European Constitution, I can understand why after fascism, Nazism and communism, Europeanism seems comparatively benign – not a Blitzkrieg, just a Bitzkrieg, an accumulation of fluffy trivialities that nevertheless takes for granted that the natural order is a world in which every itsy-bitsy activity is licensed and regulated and constitutionally defined by government.
By contrast, Ronald Reagan took afternoon naps and ended the Cold War. “They say hard work never killed anyone,” he said, “but I figure, why take the risk?” There speaks a man who understands the virtues of limited government. I slept easier in my bed knowing he was sleeping easier in his.
Amen.
