Here is a Brilliant RedState.com diary entry from Vassar Brushmills
This is a literary work of art that should be on the coffee table of every house. Here are some quotes I pulled from the article.
"The Constitution was written for the common man, the C-student, not the A-student. Period. Its entire existence is to enable and empower the C-Student, not the A-student. Period. The Founders always knew the A-student could manage on his own, even under the most authoritarian of situations."
"The Founders did not assume “conservatism” as we know it today. But it knew the “game” as we know it today. The Constitution assumed two (2) elites who would protect it in its reciprocal relationship with the Common Man and liberty. First were (are) the persons the people selected to represent them (a spiritual and cultural process Libertarians still don’t seem to understand or like, thus having joined with other elitists to undermine it)."
"The Constitution also assumed, long before Boss Tweed, that there would be opportunistic politicians who would strive to misguide these communities of struggling houses for personal gain, and it even presumed, before Karl Marx was born, that some would always look upon this democratic experiment with disdain and fear, if not for some purported social concern (the theft of labor), then from a baser level, i.e., the divine right of elites wishing to preserve the old social order that had always existed between the common man and their betters"
"After years of stuffing ballot boxes, organizing strikes and generally thumping the heads of anyone who got in their way, the Left did have a much better lay of the terrain where the common man lived and could negotiate the back alleys and side streets of his heart, mind and neighborhood much better than the GOP guardians."
"Amidst all this, that second group of Protectors, even now, still sees the cure through the political process. Just give us one more election cycle. If we can just clean up Congress, reduce the size of government, reduce taxes, cut spending, cut entitlements…then things will fix themselves."
"The Left’s guerrilla war machine is cunning and large, and committed….and we seem to have no soldiers in that theatre of combat at all."
