I have long admired those who, throughout history as well in the present, have spoken truth to power and stood up against tyranny, especially when it mattered most, and especially when it was most difficult.

Thomas Jefferson said religion was "a matter which lies solely between man and his God." Therefore, the citizens of the fledgling country Jefferson helped create would have an unparalleled freedom: To seek Truth and Knowledge without the leash of government telling them how to do it.

So why do billions of people around the world hate America so much? "Obviously", it's because of our freedom, our prosperity, and our democracy. How do I know? Because George Bush told me so. What other reason could foreigners have for resenting America?

Two years ago last month, Bush gave his second inaugural address. As I watched the speech on television, I and perhaps millions of other Americans struggled to answer the obvious question about the speech: Is it puerile or is it merely tripe?

And, if you don't like it, you obviously hate America. You must be some kind of terrorist, or communist; and you'd rather be living in some foreign dictatorship.

"Look, pal, we've always known-the Framers knew-that liberty is a fragile thing." Just how fragile? Think about all the sophisticated forms of governments and empires whose histories have proven America's to be infantile in comparison. When our liberties are limited to protect liberty itself, and self-destructing paradox begins.

The position of the drug warriors is that you should be in jail if you decide to do something with your body that they don't approve of.
