[NOTE: This is a republishing of a post I wrote back in August 2014. I think what it contains needs to be stated again.]

 

A decent respect for those of our fellow citizens who are still open to listening to arguments made from Right Reason and the knowledge that we have been, and continue to be, and will continue to be, serially misrepresented by the politicians and media in America, specifically, and in The West, generally, requires, an explanation of what it is exactly we — whether we call ourselves TEA Partiers, conservatives, Constitutionalists, Classical Liberals, etc. — are seeking in our efforts to reverse the dire and dangerous situation in America.

 

It will be, perhaps, best if we state the main thing we are not hoping to achieve: We do not seek a Revolution.

 

The purpose of Revolution is to bring down, overthrow, the existing Society, the existing Order, discarding all of it’s traditions and customs, everything that made it what it was — it’s Identity — sweeping it’s rubble and ashes into the dustbin to be discarded and forgotten as if it never had been, and then building anew — reinventing the wheel, as it were, but, this time, building the perfect wheel.
