What a coincidence!
Just last night, I told one of my music students the “Eroica” Story. She had just seen “Les Miz” and was curious about that era in history.
I told her the story to illustrate how we often idolize leaders and then they prove to have feet of clay.
Great article as usual!
Thank you for your faithful postings!

“Revolutions are not easy, until they begin rolling, and then it seems in retrospect as if they were always inevitable, the way that big things are. It is that explosion of kinetic energy born out of the potential energy of large numbers of people discovering their strength that fills the air with energy. That ionization is what most people associate with freedom, with the inevitable collapse of an old order and the rise of a new order.”
The Founders said it. WE THE PEOPLE.
They didn’t ask how old you are, where you live, what color or ethnicity you are, what weapons you hold, how much money you have, what religion you practice, (or even IF you practice.)
WE THE PEOPLE. We either fight for the rights that the Laws of Nature and Nature’s G-d gave us, or we die and the nation dies with us. Freedom dies with us. The Constitution dies with us.
There are no more illusions. We SEE who our true enemies are. They are already killing us day by day in ways large and small, rhetorically and literally. When we sleep, they are the stuff of nightmares, and when we are awake, we see that our nightmares have not confined themselves to dreams from which we can awaken.
I have enjoyed reading Daniel’s work for the last several months. He is one of the most observent writers of our time.
Please add me to the ping list.

Great post expat. I’ve come to like the Sultan almost as much as Mr. Steyn.
The revolution will be a little harder as Zero rolls out his executive orders on the 16th of January.
