Garrett's "The Revolution Was"

I am just now finishing the rereading of Garet Garrett's The Revolution Was an essay from 1944. All I can say is wow.... Sometimes it is easy to forget anything that happened over a decade ago and say "ancient history - who cares", but the more I read this the more I think how incredibly important freedom loving people read this and understand what happened and learn to spot revolutions from within. Read and learn not just the what happened but the why and the how.

I find it incredible that in 1932 FDR ran on the ideas of: less government, an end to deficit spending and he bound himself to the Democratic party platform plank of sound money. Before the end of his first term he had rejected all those positions by greatly increasing the size and scope of government, did a great amount of deficit spending and had confiscated the peoples gold and devalued the dollar.


Hmmmm, Garet Garrett, good stuff.
