The 19th century English historian Lord Acton said, " Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
The power that has flowed to Washington along with the enormous muscle of fiat money has indeed produced freaks that run our government and those that wish to replace those freaks in their postions of administration. Certainly John McCain is a dumb as a post for "scorning a woman" in public. His juxtapostion of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to Barack Obama demonstrates a bankrupty of serious ideas for governing. And what about Obama? As president will his feet be just a different kind of clay. McCain and Obama want Bush's job who is arguably the first moron to achieve such heights.
Lord Acton wrote a letter of condolance to General Robert E. Lee after the surrender of the Confederacy. Acton foresaw the coming corruption that all wealthy central governments bring. The South's loss was a loss of states rights which is the only foil against the monsters in central government.
