Hi, this is The Candid Conservative with today’s minute on our flight to disaster…

Conservative Barry Goldwater once offered that “Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” He’d recognize we’ve lost our way on both counts in today’s America. All three branches of government – legislative, executive, and judicial – are putting control before liberty. Most Americans are passive or even supportive of this slide away from our traditions of freedom. We don’t seem to believe that dark things that have happened to other cultures can happen to ours. It’s already happening. Spending beyond our means, spending tomorrow’s defense and social security dollars today, and increasing citizen dependency on government are doing great harm to our society. Harms that will show up later – when it’s too late to alter the outcome. It’s sort of like the guy who claims he can fly, jumps off the building, and for awhile, appears to be correct.

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
