Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

September 22, 2010

Idolatry is the besetting sin of the human condition. One of its most common forms is self-worship, and delusions of godhood are a common affliction for politicians and academics on intimate terms with the political elite.

Megalomania of this kind was recently displayed by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which decreed an end to the Great Recession that began when the housing bubble collapsed in 2007.
This august panel of supposed experts admits that the contraction was the longest recession of the post-war era, but contends that it actually ended in June 2009.

This supposedly means that the economy was ?cured? through a concentrated dose of the same corrupt socialist intervention that caused the crisis in the first place.

Despite this pronouncement from Olympus, foolish mortals ? who see our household net worth plummeting, job prospects dimming, and an increasing number of our friends, neighbors, and family members unemployed ? remain unconvinced.

Reality stubbornly insists on asserting itself, despite the self-deifying pretensions of our self-appointed rulers.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
