Liberty Reborn

Saul Alinsky isn’t exactly a name that is on the tip of the tongues of most Americans. Ask random, hard working people who he was and you’re more likely to get a response along the lines of, “Didn’t he play of the Oakland Raiders back in the 80’s?” The correct answer is that Mr. Alinsky was a modern day progressive whose book, Rules for Radicals, is the bible of the left and on the book shelves of most politically active liberals. It usually sits right next to their collection of the complete works of Noam Chomsky.

Today’s modern liberals with their progressive, socialist theories have a long history of propping up what they arbitrarily determine to be infallible human shields in order to block criticism of their ideas which, when examined, are not very sound or rooted in anything other than touchy-feely do-gooderism. It is the most ineffectual way to argue your point but goes along with the basis of liberal philosophy which boils down to, “that’s the way it is because I say so.” The actually authority or correctness of whatever “I” they trot out before the public to defend their ideas however doesn’t matter.

With members of the ultra-left Middlebury Institute sitting down with members of the League of the South, who are devoted to more limited government, and the two discussing plans for leaving the United States, the topic of secession has once again become just slightly more popular dinner conversation than how much lint Aunt Carla found in her belly button last night. Both groups, despite their divergence on almost everything else political, want to be able to leave the United States peacefully.

Baseball may be America’s favorite pastime, but liberals have a favorite pastime of their own; stretching and warping the Constitution. They’ve been at it so long that it has become a sport which they excel at and one at which daily practice is strongly encouraged, if not already mandated, for any aspiring leftist.
