Entry: You Say You Want a Revolution? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/you_say_you_want_a_revolution#26324 Post contents: "It is not clear to me why the demographic integrity of the self-indulgent distracted wage slaves Mr. Gavin would wish to preserve or their inability to comprehend some basic ideas and truths is very relevant to the review of The Revolution." The "let's elect a new electorate" strategy? Where are these bright, conscientious libertarians of the future (who will also conveniently make a national voting majority) going to come from? Will we import them from some other country? Produce them domestically through some sort of libertarian eugenics/gene therapy breeding program? No? Well, it will be necessary then to package the paleo message in a compelling way to people who are not necessarily on the right half of the bell curve. "I propose that our ‘front man’ must, first and foremost, be a man of principle, character, and hold an unwaivering belief in the importance of the Constitution. " By any objective measure, it would be a massive victory if it were just only possible to elect someone who wouldn't make things any more horrible than they already are. It isn't. But speaking in terms of general principle, I doubt that every soldier, general or admiral who fought the Turks at Vienna or Lepanto was a model, scrupulous Christian. I'm glad that they were there, anyway. Sent at: 2008 09 06
