Entry: The Revolution and the Republican Party Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_future_of_the_revolution#18180 Post contents: John Lowell: "And that’s why we’ve asked William Jennings Bryan, Teddy Roosevelt, Eugene Debs, Robert La Follette, George Wallace and Ross Perot to join us on today’s program." Impressive. Great third party successes...right. TR's "success" was foisting the abominably arrogent Woodrow Wilson on an unsuspecting nation, LaFollette's lasting accomplishment is one of the worst of our Constitutional amendments, while the others are historical footnotes. Poor Debs was the most honest of the bunch and he got prison for it. "Supporting this corrupt system by making a common presentation with any of its principal institutions is to support and encourage it in its worst aspects. We need a new constitution, not the weak, malleable reed that serves as the present one." Oh, our present consttution is a de facto dead letter no doubt. As to a "new constitution", what was that about naivete? Good luck on that one. Sent at: 2008 07 24
