Really interesting article I just happened upon, and thought I would share. Here's an excerpt:

"The American Revolution was very much an intellectual revolution as much as it was a military revolution. In the years before the first shot was fired, American Patriots laid the intellectual foundation for the American Revolution. They worked on what America should be and not so much of what they were against. The original Sons of Liberty mounted an intellectual assault on the Empire that the sun never set on. By the time the first shot was fired, our founding fathers had spent years carefully crafting a political and economic system that would ready for when they had control of their destiny. This system sought to decentralize power so that no Elite could seize power. They also created a Free Market economic system that would ensure the prosperity of future generations. This eventually led to the most powerful nation the world has ever seen."

Good article. We have not fallen enough to see a collectivist revolution.

I see a lot of fighting/ranting/writing "against" all sorts of stuff. But I like the positive spin of the article - what do you stand for?

I do believe that if you spend all your time focusing on the bad, then the bad is all you get more of.

I reads like a piece I would have written if I could write like that. I have little doubt that a revolution is indeed coming.
