"How long it will take for this revolution to run its course, and turn the world we live in upside-down, cannot be known. It may be this year or it may be fifty years. But this much we do know: those of us committed to the building of an intellectual infrastructure necessary to overturn the despotism of a government-managed society must never let up. Never let anyone tell you that what you believe is an anachronism. The Left does not own the future."
While we Conservatives continue our healthy debate on the choices made by our President, while we voice our dissatisfaction with the current apathetic approach to protecting our borders, and while we call B.S. on any Republican who claims to be Conservative but doesn't follow word with deed, I am reminded of something I read a few years ago: "The Transformation of American Opinion," written before the events of 9/11. It could not possibly be more relevant that it is today. I enjoy reading Lew Rockwell's opinion pieces.
This piece reflects my optimism that we are due for and will have the strength for a revolution of sorts in this country. When our Congressional representatives can craft a lovely retirement plan for themselves but subject the "average" American to the nanny-state expectation of receiving funds from a failing socialist mess like Social Security, we should be getting just a tad angry. When a whole new department called "Homeland Security" is created while our borders are neglected, we should be a whole lotta angry. Has this country lost its friggin' mind? Where is the American spirit? I believe Mr. Rockwell was onto something in 2001 and it's only a matter of time.
I'm fed up and in 2008, the Republican party had better cough up a candidate who will get this country back on track to less government and more free market, less talk and more action or this ConservaChick will be looking to the Libertarians for a viable option.
By the way, I feel the need to point out that I differ largely with the Libertarian view of war as imperialism. I believe that wars are sometimes necessary for the defense of our nation. I do not believe war in and of itself is imperialistic.
