I will not cede more power to the state. I will not
willingly cede more power to anyone, not to the state, not to General Motors,
not to the CIO. I will hoard my power like a miser, resisting every effort to
drain it away from me. I will then use my power, as I see fit. I mean
to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom
of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at
yesterday at the voting booth. That is a program of sorts, is it not? It is
certainly program enough to keep conservatives busy, and liberals at bay. And
the nation free.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
