A re-post from 12 October 2012, shortly before Obama won a second term. Things are worse now. The last seven years have been hard on Lady Liberty despite our great gain in 2016. Liberty, if not quite dead, is moribund. The insanity spreads, as witness Journalists Against Free Speech.

How many Americans care about liberty? The depressing fact that Obama may well win the election shows that vast numbers of Americans care more about panem et circenses, bread and circuses, than about liberty.
We're running on fumes. The stamp is border-line Orwellian.
Time was, when liberty was a state. Now it's a stamp.
