What ails our country

"In 2006, our country is again gripped and increasingly bound by tyrants-not regents and despots from afar, but by cancerous growths from within," entertainer and best-selling author Pat Boone said last week in The Heritage Foundation's Lerhrman Auditorium (PDF).

"Powerful forces," he said, are “robbing us of the very liberty to perpetuate the vision of our Founding Fathers."

"[O]ur muscles and our will have been sapped and weakened by insidious forces from within,” he concluded. “Do we still have the will, the vision, the zeal—and the plain old gumption—to stand up to these invaders, root them out, overturn their unconstitutional rulings, and reestablish our republic that represents not just all its citizens, but our traditional morals and guidelines? If we do, let the revolution begin!"
