*The Socialist Revolution Has Come to America, by Matt Patterson.

“Success in this double strategy would amount to nothing less than a socialist revolution. A revolution of legislative opacity and bureaucratic fiat, to be sure, but a revolution just the same, for there is literally no part of your existence they couldn’t justify controlling under the cover of “health care” and “emissions” reform. Resistance would be met at first with peaceable punishments, fines and such. But the history of such revolutions shows that, sooner or later, they enforce their dictates with bars and boots.

Think it can’t happen here? History is littered with the wreckage of free states that gave way, sometimes with a scream, often with a whimper, to autocracy and absolutism. The city that gave birth to the world’s first and greatest republic was also home to Caesar and Mussolini.

America is not immune to these forces. The tides of history are inexorable and sooner or later pull every edifice into the sea.”

Good to know that Quantum Brother and I are on the same page here.  I would also note, that one of the more popular dems these days is already calling for his political opposition to be jailed.  Expect more of this as the “elite” in Washington continue to defy the will of the American People.

*Change Nobody Believes In, at the WSJ.

“The rushed, secretive way that a bill this destructive and unpopular is being forced on the country shows that “reform” has devolved into the raw exercise of political power for the single purpose of permanently expanding the American entitlement state.”

Read it and weep my friends, read it and weep.
