Luke Ford

There is an anger brewing in this country at this moment. It is not politically inspired, it knows no right and left, just right and wrong. But if it is not dealt with, we run the risk of a massive loss of faith in American Justice. It is the taking of 4-year-old Richard from his family by order of the Illinois Supreme Court.

If America is in decay, it is not the Oklahoma City bombing that future generations will regard as our generation's symbol of this decay. As evil as the bombing was, what matters is that the government and citizens were repulsed by it. Every society has evil within it. What distinguishes civilized from less-civilized societies is the way in which its leadership acts. What most signified the descent of Germany into evil was not the presence of Nazis in the streets; it was the presence of Nazis on its judicial benches. When judges do evil, society is doomed.
