Has Barack Obama learned nothing in three years? During his State of the Union address, he promised 'a blueprint for an economy.' But economies are crushed by blueprints. ... And any attempt at it will come to grief. Politicians like Obama believe they are the best judges of how we should conduct our lives. ... But we who love our lives and our freedom say: No, thanks. We need no social architect. We need liberty under law. Thats' it...
