Here we see not the latest issue of the National Review, but the one that’s probably on your newstand right now. \u00c2\u00a0It laments the omnigovernment Commissioner Obama taking control of all aspects of our lives when the better bet is in the hands of Community and Society.<\/p>\n

Unless they’re John Taylor Gatto, I don’t know how far they’re taking the tsk tsking at the Progressive Reform entity of Public schooling.<\/p>\n

Marriage is an interesting one here. \u00c2\u00a0 They do show a heterosexual couple I might as well say.<\/p>\n

Healthcare is, I guess, the raging debate in the land. \u00c2\u00a0Obamacare and all that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All adds up to a Hollow Country. \u00c2\u00a0Crade to Grave. \u00c2\u00a0At all stages of life. \u00c2\u00a0People go to school under the yoke of taxpayer dollars, are married under the yoke of Government. \u00c2\u00a0And then when they die, the government does some last minute paper shuffling of record keeping.<\/p>\n

All very disturbing.<\/p>\n

As we await the Big Paul Ryan and Rand Paul convention speeches at the RNC Convention, I’ll take us back and hope that they can weave some literary references into them. \u00c2\u00a0From someone other than Ayn Rand, naturally. Here’s Herbert Hoover, 1936:<\/p>\n

“The New Deal may be a design to replace the American system with despotism. \u00c2\u00a0It may be the dream stuff of false liberalism. \u00c2\u00a0It may be the valor of muddle. \u00c2\u00a0Their relationship to each other,, however, is exactly the sistership of the witches who brewed the cauldron of powerful trouble for MacBeth. \u00c2\u00a0Their product is the poisoning of Americanism.”<\/p>\n

More Shakespeare in our casual political partisan demagoguery, please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
