Stossel on Hamiltonian Conservatives
John Stossel (who proves himself far too knowledgeable to have ever been considered a part of the mainstream media) penned an excellent historical comparison of Hamilton and Jefferson and then applied their views to the fragmented conservative movement today.
Well worth the read, and it contains a profound quote by Thomas Jefferson:
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
True enough.
