Greetings. You appear to have been educated in political science as well as philosophy. I have only had what I consider superficial exposure to such things. I have a question should you be inclined to answer. I was wondering what your thoughts were on C Wright Mills and his ideas of the power elite. I would be very interested in your thoughts if you would be willing to share them.

One more question if you please, how far down the road to serfdom have we traveled as of now. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Eric

I printed this out when it was first posted, and had my son read it when he was in college being indoctrinated. It is indeed one of the best posts ever on FR.

Do you have the url of the original article? I should be able to find it on archive.org (the wayback machine) because I would like to see the original comments. I will post what I find here. Thanks.

Thanks for saving that essay and providing the readers here with another opportunity to recognize the depth and breadth of the evil we now must deal with if freedom and liberty is to re-emerge on planet earth before the Second Coming.

It’s a good first step for that proverbial long trip facing the undaunted.

Yet, the Kneel Bortz types will fume and tremble with anger when confronted with the truths of this article.

The only thing that matters to them is money, vice, the promotion of sexual sin and charging hellbound to vehemently attack any notions or warnings that this nation cannot revel in sin while keeping our historic freedoms.

Most social liberals who claim only fiscal conservatism have joined hand in hand with the hard left to zealously condemn, ostracize and destroy the principles and the people who have stood in the breech, trying to defend our obvious Judeo-Christian foundation without which we are no longer the civilization and the republic all past generations had inherited and cherished.

And few confidence scams in all history are more diabolical than the one to spirit away American liberty under the false promise of the free lunch.

Is this the thesis statement? Because it really does encapsulate the problem, doesn't it?
