Btw, what ever happened to South Park? Is it still running on some network, or was it canceled?

Above is an old thread that I would reference a lot during the Obama years. It is a long booklet written in the late 1930’s about FDR and the New Deal, titled “The Revolution Was”.

Regarding your comment it is quite specific. Sorry for the long excerpt, but it is ALL so good and informative):

There was a prodigious literature of revolutionary thought concealed only by the respectability of its dress....

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 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....

Which of these brilliant young men in spectacles was of the cult and which was of the cabal if there was a cabal one never knew. Indeed, it was possible that they were not sure of it among themselves, a time having come when some were only playing with the thought of extremes while others were in deadly earnest, all making the same sounds. This was the beginning of mask and guise....

This revolutionary elite was nothing you could define as a party....There was no plan to begin with. But there was a shibboleth that united them all: “Capitalism is finished.”...

The prestige of the elite was natural for many reasons; but it rested also upon one practical consideration. When the opportunity came a Gracchus would be needed. The elite could produce one. And that was something the Communist Party could not hope to do.

America was founded as a Free Constitutional Republic and my prayer is for restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic.

Correct. It used to be. But that ended as soon as we passed the 19th Amendment.

Now we're a democracy. Some parts of the Constitution is working. For now.

Neither women’s vote nor Leftist rebellion canceled the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land.

Ignoring the Law of Gravity or God’s Laws does not cancel those laws. Those violating those laws just reap the consequences, but the laws remain.

Similarly, ignoring the Supreme law of the Land doesn’t cancel the Constitution, although the Left would love for you to believe that.

You're right. Unfortunately, this is what is happening right now. Women are emotional voters. Eventually, we'll lose all rights under the Constitution.

I believe that the same Hand of Divine Providence that miraculously birthed our Free Constitutional Republic 250 years ago will miraculously restore America soon.

God is greater than women or the decrepit Women’s Movement.
