Sowell Brothers

Rumblings

A commenter referred to this passage, by Thomas Sowell. “ When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can’t help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup. ” Read the whole article, Don't Get Weak..  Answer, agree or disagree?  For myself, that time prolly arrived in 1973, when the left engineered the Nixon coup d'etat.  It was nothing less than that.  Musings: Just yesterday I was chatting with a friend who built a second home on Deep Creek Lake, in  Garret County, MD.  Garret County is 3,360 feet above sea level in some places, and the residents may properly be called "mountain folk."  When Greg started building there 10 years ago, there were basically no zoning laws in Garret, and almost no real estate tax.  After two or three years, the natives decided Greg was an okay sort, and deigned to talk to him. "Do you hunt Gregg?  Do you own guns?" "Sure" "Good.  We like people here to have guns.  When the time comes, there's just three roads we have to close down, and there ain't nobody getting in here." Recently, a lot of retirees from the Washington area have moved there, for the summer.  The first thing they did was notice there were few of the amenities they were used to, so they ran for office.  Ain't nobody giving it great thought.  Mistake.  This year Greg paid more property taxes in Garret County than he did in Anne Arundel, and that's saying something.  The natives are more than a tad pissed, finally, and will hopefully take back their gummint.  I hope they don't get weak.
