‘A Game With No Rules’

Francis Porretto: 
‘…We are reminded of what Bill Clinton said on 11 March 1993,
“We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans . . . .”
Bill Clinton then said on 12 August 1993,
“If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.”
Clinton was the president of the United States when he said those things. He never after bothered to qualify them, let alone retract them. They’re the clearest possible explication of the dangers of a government which claims to have interests of its own.
……Private Americans, who wish only to be free, cannot win this game with no rules. Neither can we withdraw from it. We can only end it. It’s become highly unlikely that we can do so via the ballot box; the political class has rigged that element of the game in its own favor, and will fight to the death against any attempt to cleanse it.
It’s time to look at one another and ask the hard questions.‘
