Holy Bejesus

Have you read much on this Janice Rogers Brown?

I hadn't, until just now:

"In the heyday of liberal democracy, all roads lead to slavery," she has warned in speeches. Society and the courts have turned away from the founders' emphasis on personal responsibility, she has argued, toward a culture of government regulation and dependency that threatens fundamental freedoms.

"We no longer find slavery abhorrent," she told the conservative Federalist Society a few years ago. "We embrace it." She explained in another speech, "If we can invoke no ultimate limits on the power of government, a democracy is inevitably transformed into a kleptocracy - a license to steal, a warrant for oppression."


She is now a district judge, who CNN said could be on her way to being a Supreme Court Justice.

Forget Howard Dean. Frickin' forget him. His little flame wars are mear child's play when you start making comments like "in liberal democracy all roads lead to slavery." At least Dean's comments were based in some shred of logic and were at least half true.

Between Janice Rogers Brown and John Bolton (who I'm sick of talking about already, by the way), the Republicans waaaaaaay out-flame the Democrats. Hands down.
