"Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called, and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men."—John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

"Power to the people." - John Lennon

What on earth is happening to this country?

Don't be fooled: the madness, mayhem and malice unfolding in America is not politics as usual. It's not partisan hardball. It's not bureaucratic overreach.

It's theft in the gravest sense imaginable: the theft of our nation, the theft of our sovereignty as citizens, the theft of our constitutional republic.
