It has shifted the balance in America from an individual-centered to a State-centered economic & social system.~ W. H. Chamberlin May 1, 2023In a free society, standards of public morality can be measured only by whether physical coercion -- violence against persons or property -- occurs.

Drowning in petty paperwork.

Tucker AlfordWhat is so mind boggling is that all of this is being financed by the American people themselves through their own taxes. In other words, the American people are underwriting the destruction of their own freedom and way of life by lavishly financing through federal and state grants the very social scientists who are undermining our national sovereignty and preparing our children to become the dumbed-down vassals of the new world order.~ Samuel L.
