[BluesDuke]

Well, now we know where our old friend Mr. Rivero has parked his flying saucer. As for his ilk, perhaps the best counsel of all was proffered by Mr. Frank Chodorov in 1949:

The danger, to those who hold freedom as the highest good, is not the ideas (they) espouse but the power they aspire to. Let them rant their heads off - that is their right, which we cannot afford to infringe - but let us keep from them the political means of depriving everybody else of the same right.
- Frank Chodorov, analysis, 1949.

That, by the way, is useful counsel as well, when contending with those among us here - of any particular political party or persuasion - whose purpose is screaming down rather than dialoguing; whose preferred tactic and methodology is insult before insight; whose ambition for our nation is mere power, rather than restoring properly-construed government (as opposed to the improperly consecrated State); and, whose idea of bringing and securing the blessings of liberty to their fellows is to drive any and all demurral from whatever party line into - if you'll pardon the expression - a locked box to be buried in the approximate vicinity of Davy Jones' Locker (and I don't mean the former Monkees singer, either)...

A sacred cow is worth but one thing...steak!
