“That is, I believe that the will of the people, their traditions and customs, their concern for their families, their communities, and for the future should determine the shape of any political order……it is clear to me, especially in this late date of our democracy, that it enthrones the will of determined and well-financed minorities, that it dissolves the customs and traditions of the people, and that it has no concern for the future.” — John Medaille, who I’d like to quote more often, in a Front Porch Republic article called “Why I am a Monarchist”. I’d say this article more or less puts words to my feelings about the destructive, idolatrous American political order. We’ll see how he follows up this first installment of three; at the very least, they’ll be worth reading. December 01, 2010
