At our Conservative Leadership Conference, Walter Williams gave a speech last night that was by turns sobering and scintillating. Here are a few quotes:
“Private property and free enterprise [today] are mere skeletons of their past.”
“We own less and less of our most valuable property — namely ourselves and the fruits of our labor.”
“To say the Constitution is a living document is the same thing as saying we don’t have a Constitution.”
“Considerations of personal liberty are [now] treated as secondary and tertiary — in other words, treated as dirt.”
“Most Americans believe … in the forcible use of one person to serve the use of another. Indeed, that’s the same as slavery.”
“Our task is not to change politicians … It’s to somehow convince our fellow Americans of the moral superiority of liberty and its concomitant limited government.”
On the docket tonight (March 29): Ann Coulter. She should have some good lines.
We’ll post more later.
Can’t wait to hear Coulters comments. I’m sure she’ll do the GOP proud. With friends like her, you don’t need enemies.
