An existential battle for the GOP, and the country. Not surpisingly, the GOP elite is cheating in its battle against the Tea Parties.

Anonymous said...: Hmmm. On the same page was a link to an article on the F&F debacle titled
"The DOJ Corruption That Led to Fast and Furious" by whistle blower, Vincent A. Cefalu. Sipsey may have already linked to it, and if so, my apology. If not, here it is..

TPaine said...: The GOP is in-fighting itself into oblivion. And Ron Paul is sitting there picking up votes. The real Tea Party is not a Republican whore, and the voting in the general election will prove that.

And those Tea Party people adhering to Dr. Paul's policies will not compromise their vote just to elect a Republican instead of Obama.

Looks more and more like a revolution is in the works.; January 31, 2012 at 6:25 PM
CzarChasm said...: I agree with TPaine that Paul voters will not vote Romney just to oust Obama, but I'm not sure about the "revolution" part being in the works. Paul voters are boisterous for one thing only that I've seen; Ron Paul. Once it's clear that he won't be on the General ballot, and a write-in campaign won't work, the Paul Revolution will be as dead-silent as it has been dead in reality since its inception.

That said, they, along with disillusioned conservatives, myself included, will just stay home on election day. Obama will likely win, not because we want him to, but because we can't see enough difference between him and Romney to care which one of them serves as the next Bankruptcy Trustee for the country. And Brothers, that's all we're electing, is the next Bankruptcy Trustee.

Hang on tight, this coaster's about to come off the rails.; February 5, 2012 at 5:40 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
