(South Carolina) - I have been warning about economic fascism since before Mrs. Clinton first tried to force her ideas on an unsuspecting American public, back in 1993. Since 1980, I've tried to get people to think of Italy under Mussolini, and try to avoid it. This past week, I heard Glenn Beck talk about it as though it was his own original idea. Frankly, I'm ecstatic that someone else has finally "gotten" it.

But don't expect the tens of millions of people who don't pay taxes and don't care that so many of us have to work like slaves to support them will strike their foreheads in amazement and epiphany. They won't. Even the ones who are changed have a good chance to fold like a nerf crutch. History is instructive here.

During the revolution that started this crazy freedom thing, these united states, only 30 to 40 percent participated on the side of the colonists. A full 30 percent did not participate at all. And a full 30 percent fought like hell to remain loyal to the King. In Russia, the Menchevikii did not see the Bolsheviks coming - they were only ten percent of the populace. In France, those who rode the tiger were few, but still wound up inside.

Revolution is not kind to those who revolt. It's safer to go along and get along. But, believe it or not, there is a way to do it without violence, or even getting angry. Ghandi showed the way.

Every time the crazy liberals or the lazy moderates pass a stupid law, get a group together, call a press conference, and break it. In the beginning, the press supported apartheid, and segregation, and English dominance in India. But, little by little, like a stream wearing down a stone, the media, eventually, will have to tell the truth about their "savior." Even the TV journalists in Romania eventually had to admit that Ceauçescu was evil, and they were wrong.
