Back when the Ayers thing was hot - this was the excerpt I would pull from The Revolution Was, with some names added to bring it up 70 years to the present:
“To the revolutionary this same dreary stuff was the most exciting reading in the world. It was knowledge that gave him a sense of power. One who mastered the subject [Bill Ayers] to the point of excellence could be fairly sure of a livelihood by teaching and writing, that is, by imparting it to others, and meanwhile dream of passing at a single leap from this mean obscurity to the prestige of one who assists in the manipulation of great happenings; while one who mastered it to the point of genius that one might dream of becoming himself the next Lenin [OBAMA].”
Just a placeholder until I can print it out. I gotta get a lot more paper and ink....a LOT more.
As I read it in places I felt like I was reading a fictional novel, like a book by Ayn Rand, but then the familiar names, places and acts were invoked which brought it back into focus that this was all the reality of the treason FDR committed. Every bit of it a factual piece of our history. And is being recommitted again with the hopes of greater success.
It's working and nothing the Republicans, Libertarians or conservatives is doing even recognizes what is going on much less has a chance of defeating it. Very little anyway. The Progressive's plan has us all fighting with ghosts while they steadily accumulate power.
"And when the "gold eases" went to the United States Supreme Court the unreconstructed court the judgment was one that will be forever a blot on a certain page of American history. The Court said that what the government had done was immoral but not illegal. How could that be? Because the American government, like any other government, has the sovereign power to commit an immoral act."
