Thomas E. Woods Jr. _ How the Catholic Church Built
Emin's My Bed, which was nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize, consisted of an unmade bed complete with bottles of vodka, used prophylactics, and bloodied undergarments. While on display at the Tate Gallery in 1999, the bed was vandalized by two nude men who proceeded to jump on it and drink the vodka. The world of modern art being what it is, everyone at the gallery applauded, assuming that the vandalism was part of the show. Emin is now employed as a professor at the European Graduate School."

Thomas E. Woods Jr. _ Nullification: How to Resist
Madison wrote in Federalist #41, "For what purpose could the enumeration of particulars be inserted, if these and all others were meant to be included in the preceding general power?" In 1792, he said: If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision for the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, everything, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress.3

cradle to the grave. In fact, though, a major study released in May 2002 by the Swedish Institute of Trade {HUI} decisively punctured the myth of welfare-state "prosperity" in Sweden: by the end of the 1990s, Sweden's median income was $26,800, compared to $39,400 in the United States. More to the point, the HUI economists specifically pointed out: "Black people, who have the lowest income in the United States, now have a higher standard of living than an ordinary Swedish household.

Thomas E. Woods Jr. _ Real Dissent: A Libertarian
A conservative recognizes a hierarchy of concerns: I owe my children, my neighbors, and my co-religionists much more than I owe anyone in Iraq or anywhere else. Cicero, like so many figures in our classical past, held that "the union and fellowship of men will be best preserved if each receives from us the more kindness in proportion as he is more closely connected with us." The Bible confirms the wisdom of the ancients, instructing us that "if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel" {1 Tim. 5:8}.

Thomas E. Woods Jr. _ Real Dissent: A Libertarian

Thomas E. Woods Jr. _ Real Dissent: A Libertarian
The Far Right is less interested in Burkean immunities from government power than it is in putting a maximum of governmental power in the hands of those who can be trusted. It is control of power, not diminution of power, that ranks high. Thus when Reagan was elected conservatives hoped for the quick abolition of such government 'monstrosities' as the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, and the two National Endowments of the Arts and Humanities, all creations of the political left. The Far Right in the Reagan Phenomenon saw it differently, however; they saw it as an opportunity for retaining and enjoying the powers. And the Far Right prevailed. It seeks to prevail also in the establishment of a 'national industrial strategy,' a government corporation structure in which the conservative dream of free private enterprise would be extinguished.
