14 May 2009 Quote of Note

“For liberal elites, belief in gun control and global warming has taken on the character of religious faith. We have sinned (by hoarding guns or driving sport utility vehicles), we must atone (by turning in our guns or recycling), we must repent (by supporting gun control or cap-and-trade schemes). You may notice that the ‘we’ in question is usually the great mass of ordinary American citizens.”

-Michael Barone, “On Guns and Climate, the Elites are Out of Touch,” Washington Examiner, May 10, 2009
