@AuronMacintyre It's hard to separate the American Revolution from the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which was essentially anti-Catholic and profoundly "English-nationalistic." There was nothing universal about it.
@AuronMacintyre A written constitution is just the projection of the nation's constitution into words. A nation is not constituted by words. Propositional nation is like saying that a picture of a car is a real car.
@Cernovich The only way to get out of the debt problem is through inflation. The government needs to be more austere, but the Fed needs to pump dollars. Assets inflate, debt real value drops. If you can invest in QQQ or SPY, always do it. In the long run it will outperform any debt.
@QuetzalPhoenix Orwell rejected the evidence as well. He remained a Labor Party supporter. In Animal Farm, the humans were the good guys. That he made the pigs indistinguishable from humans at the end shows how blind he remained.
@walterkirn@seanmdav Orwell's problem wasn't his portrayal of the pigs, but of the humans. In reality, they were far more benevolent than any farm animal.
@MattWalshBlog "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall."
