Excellent article. I’ve printed it, and I’m sending the link to others as well.

I just came across your post of this article today (better late than never). It's an excellent read.

One paragraph about which I'd like to comment:

America's problems would be fixed by a "brain trust" (picked by him {FDR}). His New Deal's solutions -- the alphabet-soup "independent" agencies that have run America ever since -- turned many Progressives into powerful bureaucrats and then into lobbyists. As the saying goes, they came to Washington to do good, and stayed to do well.

We tend to think of lobbyists as advocates of a private sector or non-profit. But you seldom hear of what I'll call the "Silent Lobby" - all the millions of bureaucrats. Government-run programs control trillions of dollars, and they are all concentrated in one industry: Government. You can bet they exert a tremendous political influence - ironically, based on their own self-interest rather then that of the public they purport to serve.

The secrets of the ruling class have been exposed. To think of how many years they have spent sowing the seeds of division and hatred amongst the masses. The racial hatred, class hatred etc. All of this done and couched in righteousness. It was all a plan to save their own necks.

The truth is they are terrified, as they should be, that if we all got together we would come for them.

The ruling class are the haters, the selfish, the arrogant, and the immoral.

We need to go after them and see to it that their evil plans are stopped.

They must pay.
