Much Madness Is Divinest Sense
American Rattlesnake ^ | November 21, 2015 | Michel Evanchik

As the Long March of the left burns and hacks its way through the nation's remaining cultural institutions-reenacting the Cultural Revolution on American soil-and Europeans who balk at being invaded by the Vanguards of Islam are condemned as Islamophobic bigots, it's appropriate to reflect upon the words of a woman who is considered by many to be America's greatest poet.

She captures the surreality of living in a time and place where rational thought has been cast out of the public square

Much Madness Is The Divinest Sense

To a discerning eye

Much sense the Starkest Madness

'Tis the Majority

In this, as all, prevail

Assent-and you are sane

Demur-you're straightaway dangerous

And handled with a Chain

But much of March Madness is easier to bet on with Divine Guidance!
