Quote of the Day: "If the Default Mode of a Society’s Institutions is Liberal...


From the incomparable Mark Steyn:

"If the default mode of a society’s institutions is liberal, electing GOP legislators eventually accomplishes little more than letting a Republican driver take a turn steering the liberal bus."

So true.

Let's Canadianize this and see if it still works:

"If the default mode of a society’s institutions is liberal, electing Conservative M.P.s eventually accomplishes little more than letting a Conservative driver take a turn steering the liberal bus."

Yup. Still works.

If you've never read Mark Steyn, you owe it to yourself to give him a try:
