Re: “,” July 3 Perspective article.
Henry Dubroff and John J. Huggins seem not to understand why there is a hyper-partisan nature to politics these days.
Itap simple. Those of us who can see where we have come from to where we are — barreling toward a state-controlled society — are desperate to stop this transformation. Those who see how close they are to achieving that goal are afraid to let the opportunity slip away. Naturally, neither side thinks they can afford to fail.
Those who scoff at the premise should re-read Dubroff and Huggins’ description of Michael Bloomberg — a man who wants to control everything we eat and drink and also take our guns away — as a centrist. Itap a frightening thought that someone with such ambitious desires could be considered a centrist.
We need to stop the advance of statism and take back our power. Those who want to increase state power, and those who don’t understand that this is their goal, need to remember that government power can be used against either side of the political spectrum, and most often is used against both.
