A new Threeper blog: The Cliffs of Insanity.

This just in from Threeper Alvie D. Zane:

My blog is now alive for the whole worldwide web to see. I invite you to stop by, read, comment, think. I’ll try to post something new at least daily. If you have suggestions, I’m open. I encourage you all to check out the other blogs and links that are there. There’s some really good stuff in them.

Ahab said...: While visiting the new blog by Zane, I found a link to a piece written by a Thomas DiLorenzo, titled: "In Defense of Sedition. Took me a couple tries to get to the article; but, it was worth the effort.

DiLorenzo refers to the statements of idiot pundit Joe Klein concerning sedition, where-in Klein accuses both Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin of sedition. The upshot of the piece is that if what Glenn Beck and Sarah says is sedition; then, 60% to 80% of us are also guilty of sedition. In the article by DiLorenzo, who appears to be a serious historian, we, America, lost the U.S. Constitution when Abe Lincoln waged war on the South. By killing 350,000 Southern Americans, including 50,000 civilians, in the War of Northern Aggression Abe Lincoln established the central government as supreme over the sovereignty of the several states. The Constitution became null and void in 1865, and further destroyed by FDR in packing the Supreme Court with Social Progressives. Beginning in 1937 and thereafter, the SCOTUS has been prepared to, and actually fostered the expansion of federal power no matter how at odds the central government has been with the constraints placed upon it by the Constitution. The SCOTUS has not declared ANY law passed by ANY congress to be unconstitutional for over 70 years. Under this obvious oligarchy, America has been betrayed by the courts.

In all that time, 1937 to 1995 and through today, America has lived under a judicial dictatorship.

DiLorenzo concludes there is no way to undo it. The political establishment in Washington, D.C. will not relinquish its' accumulated power back to the states where it belongs, no matter who is elected president, or however many Representatives and/or Senators are sent home.
There is simply no way to return to Thomas Jefferson's Federalism form of government, i.e., where "we the people" are sovereign unless we heed his words. These words: whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.; May 10, 2010 at 12:40 AM

Anonymous said...: Hologram of Liberty by Boston T Party addresses the problem of federal government growth and encroachment. I just bought and have started to read this book, have read two others by him, and find his arguments very good.
Unfortunately we seem to have lost the basic battle when they got rid of the Articles of Confederation, which had been enough to see them through the revolution. Hamilton and his elitist buddies needed to consolidate and control.; May 10, 2010 at 8:09 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
