How Do We Get Back to Where We Were?

As a Historian I always believe even a little history might help push back the darkness swirling around us

It’s hard to be a conservative when there’s little left to conserve. The increasing pace of America’s progression from free markets to a command economy has reached such a pace and become so obvious that way back in 2009 the Russian Prime Minister used his spotlight time at the World Economic Forum to warn America not to follow the socialist path.

The Russian newspaper Pravda,once the leading communist voice on earth published an article entitled, ‘American capitalism gone with a whimper’. People around the world can see the individual decisions of producers and consumers are being replaced by the form letters of a faceless central-planning bureaucracy even if the Obama boosters still haven’t swallowed the red pill and watched the matrix dissolve.

Pushed by the breathtaking speed of America’s devolution into a command economy some conservatives have entered the ranks of the radicals. They’re beginning to think about how to cure the systemic political problems precipitating the November Revolution of 2008. One solution some are embracing is known as the Sovereignty Movement. This is a movement of citizens and state representatives attempting to right the listing ship-of-state by appealing to the 10th Amendment which says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

I’m more worried about folks like yourself that do not understand history and human nature and delude themselves into thinking it does not apply to the ‘American psyche’ due to blind faith and false bravado.

The very things I am warning you about have their foundations being laid right before your face in this country.

Like I said, you are one that would try telling us that Socialism would never take root in this country because of the ‘American Psyche’.

None so blind as those who refuse to see.

Enjoy your fantasy. It’s all you will have.
