An exerpt from Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny".

For the Statist, however, the Declaration (of Independence) is an impediment to his schemes. The Statist cannot abide the existence of Natural Law and man's discovery of "unalienable rights" bestowed on all individuals by 'their Creator." In ideology and practice, the Statist believes rights are not a condition of man's existnce but only exist to the extent the Statist ratifies them. Furthmore, rights do not belong to all individuals. They are to be rationed by the state - conferred on those whom the Statist believes deserving of them, and denied to those whom the Statist believes underseving of them. He acknowledges only the law which he himself sets inplace, and which is subject to change or arbitrary application on his say-so. The Statist may wrap himself and his deeds in the language of enlightenment- claiming to be the voice of resaon, the beholder of knowledge, and the architect of modernity-but recent history has shown him to be unenlightening in his understanding of mankind, moral order, liberty, and equality. Statists have launched bloody revolutions followed by violent periods of terror in France, Russia, Germany, China, and elswhere, always under the flag of democratic populism, Marxism, national socialim, and fascim. For the Statist, revolutionis an onging enterprise, for it regularly cleanes society of religious dogma, antiquated traditions, backward customs, and ambitious individuals who differ with or obstruct the Statist's plans. The Statist calls this many thing, including "progressive." For the rest, it is tyranny.
