   [1]Hillyer:

     Right reason is on the retreat, the American conservative movement
     is splintered, the national Republican Party (especially its
     congressional wing) is virtually useless -- and the rest of the
     West seems on a quest (this is no jest) to do its best to invest
     the rest of its capital in a viper's nest of statist, defeatist
     policies that in no way pass the test of success. All of which, of
     course, leaves too many national economies (and their cultures)
     depressed.

   You know what it is? You know why socialism keeps advancing and
   government keeps getting bigger? Motivation. The folks inclined to
   advocate for big government think they'll get something out of it. So
   they keep hammering. Folks inclined to advocate for limited government
   get nada. All they're asking for is to be left alone.
