Before we get Rex all wound up, aren't you forgetting something?For the first time in many decades, we can turn our eyes toward the bright sunlit uplands, where liberty reigns, and where each may abide by his vine and fig tree and be not afraid. [More]
Sorry, I'm not buyin' it. Once the cultural terraforming's complete and territorial Balkanization is in full swing, all restraints -- and bets -- are off. And don't expect foreign interests to be sitting on their hands as the unpleasantness unfolds. Anyone who thinks we've seen the last of "the pistol and the barbed wire" hasn't been paying attention to history, and particularly the "checks and balances" needed in the one he cites.
His apparent case for "voting our way out of this" is not made stronger by completely ignoring the most profound threat facing us.

Great. A Utopia populated with chain migrants and refugees.
ReplyDeleteWe Souther Nationalists do not want, and know full well that the US government cannot be reformed.
ReplyDeleteWe want our southern lands unchecked by the United States government, a government that we refer to as the Yankee Empire and a government of occupation.

"Utopia" (originally a Greek word meaning "no place"), written by Sir Thomas More, describes the mythical perfect place.
ReplyDeleteWell, perfect except for the fact that the Utopians depended heavily on slavery; slaves being kept to perform the low and menial jobs that would have "corrupted" the Utopians had they had to perform the tasks themselves. The Utopians also relied heavily on "colonization" of other countries. The thought being that small colonies of Utopian thought would spread to the population of those other countries, making them less dangerous to the Utopians themselves.
Throughout, the author describes as normal the voluntary social behavior of the Utopian society never seen at any scale beyond, possibly, a small commune, by any civilization ever.
It is not a pretty read.
