"Escape into fantasies of regional and global orders, global government"

This guy makes a lot of sense. I think he's on to something.

[MacGyver]

I tend to agree with this guy.

[Oh Shoot]

Seems spot on to me....

The crux, I think is in these three paragraphs (for those that don't read the entire article, note that "unionists" does not mean "unions" in labor force connotation):

"If Theodore Roosevelt’s New Nationalism at least attempted to put the people at the reins of an unlimited authority, his cousin’s New Deal was scientific government in all its totalitarian horror and bureaucratic incompetence. A horror that no one learned anything from. The New Deal gave way to the New Frontier and the Great Society and finally Hope and Change, leaving the country deep in debt and at the mercy of an ideological bureaucracy tightening its grip on power.

And yet any attempt to roll back the rolling disaster is met with cries of “Reactionary” as if local power and local authority were nothing less than cave-dwelling cannibalism. The only solution is to go forward, to bigger unions and larger federal monstrosities that share all the flaws of the old version but promise to restrain them by having smarter people sitting in one room and making all the decisions. Anyone who points out that this is a bad idea is treated as if he had suggested that maybe the sun does revolve around the earth after all.

It’s the unionists, though, who put forward a determinedly geocentric model of the human solar system. It is they who insist that the massive sun of the people must revolve around the planet of government, rather than that government should revolve around the people. Adding more mass to government does not make it into a sun, a source of energy and light, it makes it into a heavier satellite, but no matter how heavy planet government becomes, it will not unleash a gravity field that will force the people to revolve around it."

Good, sad article. Beck mentioned all of this on his show this morning. Talking about

both sides of the political spectrum. It's eerily like Beck either plagiarized or they are

on the same plane. A woman called in to his show complaining about Newt or Paul, one

of them, and he went into the explanation of how Newt was just adding more of FDR ,

Wilson and Teddy and wrecking. He didn't go into the European connections and world

governments, but he finished by saying there would be effectively a world war over all

the progressivism and how the changes the changes have come about.

Interesting.

Guess I'll go make a new tin hat.
