The link is a thread about a booklet (”The Revolution Was”) written 71 years ago about the New Deal and FDR. I have been pushing this thread (and there was another one) since before the election. It is a long read, but goes fairly quick as almost EVERY word is coming true again.

Excerpt:

Until it was too late few understood one like Julius C. Smith, of the American Bar Association, saying: “Is there any labor leader, any businessman, any lawyer or any other citizen of America so blind that he cannot see that this country is drifting at an accelerated pace into administrative absolutism similar to that which prevailed in the governments of antiquity, the governments of the Middle Ages, and in the great totalitarian governments of today?

Make no mistake about it. Even as Mussolini and Hitler rose to absolute power under the forms of law... so may administrative absolutism be fastened upon this country within the Constitution and within the forms of law.” .........

Here’s some more info on Garet Garret, author of “The Revolution Was”:

Was there ever a prose stylist on the Right as elegantly idiosyncratic as Garet Garrett? “We have crossed the boundary that lies between Republic and Empire,” he warned in a 1952 polemic, his voice husky with tragedy.

The moment went unheralded, however, and even unnoticed: “There was no painted sign to say: ‘You now are entering Imperium.’ Yet it was a very old road and the voice of history was saying: ‘Whether you know it or not, the act of crossing may be irreversible.’ And now, not far ahead, is a sign that reads: ‘No U-turns.’”

* * * * * *

And I would add a sign beyond that that says “Train Wreck Ahead”.

This all true. If anyone needs any confirmation of this, simply pick up a copy of Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky.

Alinsky is the American version of Karl Marx and Rules is the American version of the Communist Manifesto. Alinsky is the founder of community organizing and is also the Godfather of the American Left. Even Hillary Clinton wrote her master’s thesis at Wellesly College on Alinsky. They’ve all studied him and implement his methods for political power. The Left is currently using Alinsky methods to discredit, marginalize, and ultimately destroy Rush Limbaugh.

This country is no longer the shining city on a hill as envisioned by our Founding Fathers. It has degenerated into a revolting mass of socialistic government spending and pork similar to much of Europe. It should be renamed the United Socialist States of America.

Currently the American people now believe that the government is the answer, not the cause of our current economic crisis. And therein, in a nutshell, is the nub of our problem.

Democracy has been a tragic failure in this country as the people have come to demand more government programs, bailouts, and entitlements and do not want to be taxed for these programs.

The logical answer would be to back to a republican (with a small r) form of government as originally created by our Founding Fathers. Back then only property owning males were permitted to vote in federal elections. Presidents were elected by the Electoral College, and U.S. Senators were elected by state legislatures. There was no mob rule or American Idol contests. Candidates did not have to grovel before the likes of Jay Leno, SNL, David Letterman, the beotches on the View, Ellen De Generes, or any other of these mindless MSM clowns and entertainers.

We are now witnessing the dumbing down of democracy. And let that pathetic, narcissistic, vacuous, loquacious, uniquitous, metrosexual, phony, media created, radical, foreign born, socialist, left-wing, Marxist, plastic, creep of president of ours be Exhibit A for illustrating my point.
