Less Exceptional than we think?

Conrad Black wrote this from a Federal cell - put there by ambitious, unethical Federal prosecutors (is there any other kind?) who could convict a ham sandwich of something if it paid off for their careers.  Naturally, he has a rather jaundiced view of the United States.  But while I might quibble with this or that detail, I can't argue with his overall thesis.  Rampant Federal impunity and interest group fascism has stripped our nation of much which used to make it exceptional.  We must commit our lives and honor to getting our nation back.  And make no mistake:  it will take the rest of our lives.
