“You Say You Want A Revolution”

Then sorry, get in line. There already was a Revolution, and I don’t mean back in the 1770s. Generally, I don’t seek to just post up links. There are zillions of web sites and blogs with some great insight into political matters. But the following two are invaluable IMO, as far as allowing us the ability to integrate exactly what the hell happened to this country. The first was written in 1938, by a man named Garet Garrett. It’s titled “The Revolution Was,” and is archived at the Ludwig von Mises Institute: http://mises.org/daily/2726

The next one appeared just recently in The American Spectator. I’m not big on really long essays, but sometimes length is necessary to get the point across. If you haven’t read this and seek to understand the historical context in which we find ourselves, then I recommend it highly. Thanks to WRSA for the link…

Sometimes it seems that we’re doomed. The insanity in the political realm combined with pervasive ignorance, seem like the classic “immovable object.” The justification for despair is obvious and it can be overwhelming. But we are dealing in the human realm, where all things imaginable are possible. I offer these links not for the purpose of, “Read ‘em and weep,” but rather for the purpose of understanding the nature of the reality in which we find ourselves. It is only with such understanding that we may rationally move forward, and discover the false premises that led us down this tragic road. Tempus fugit. Prepare yourself.
