I love H.L. Mencken.

He had such a pithy way with words.

It won't surprise you to learn that I donated to Paul's campaign several times. It was very refreshing to be able to donate to a candidate who made explicit references to the Constitution's limits on federal power.
:-)

I'm surprised that he got as much reaction as he did. The America about which he was speaking is long gone. It has been replaced by one where "modern government" is a substitute religion and people will brook no questioning of their faith in it.

Once Dr. Paul was pulling in that much money, it was impossible for him to be ignored, and that's why I donated. I considered my few hundred dollars well worth it, if only to get some of those ideas out there in broader circulation.

Ever the optimist, I like to hope that the long gone America can return, even if it must do so out of the wreckage of military and domestic crisis. I've always been a heretic in that civil religion, and look forward to more heretics objecting, whatever their reasons.

I love HL Mencken too. One of my absolute favorites.

Thanks. That's much clearer, but only to those with eyes to see.
