Privacy outside the bedroom has essentially disappeared. The family is no longer sacrosanct. The sphere of parental influence and authority has been greatly reduced.

Ever since the New Deal, the weight of government has been against such a people. We must reverse this course before we forget what it means to be strong and independent. The Democrats are not going to change their agenda. If Republicans are to make a difference, they must pursue goals that will attract strong appointees who will sacrifice career for principle.
