[Psalm 144]

I do think Codevilla’s essay is a watershed in modern political discourse. It is somewhat analogous in timing and effect to Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense”.

“Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.”

It has been obvious for some time that the Rats and the RINOs only cared about being in the ruling class and gathering more power an money for themselves. In essence the vast majority of people in government think Marie Antoinette was given a raw deal.

Today's events so echo those of France in 1789. The nobility and clergy were the ruling classes in France and had nothing but disdain for the common people. They too thought they were ordained to direct the lives of the common people. They too were oblivious to the seething animosity that the common people had for them and they were surprised when the revolution came. Obama and his wife so resemble the bumbling Louis and haughty Marie Antoinette.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
