A Strange Liberty: Politics Drops Its Pretenses

Sinopsis :

A Strange Liberty calls for the relentless pursuit of

decentralization in whatever manner this course is still open to

decent, freedom-loving citizens. Quoting from, among others,

the late Angelo Codevilla, a bold scholar of government and an

unabashed critic of our democratic decadence, Deist proposes

that states that oppose federal overreach and woke

indoctrination react against these evils through

noncompliance. He shows again and again that the federal

government&#8217behavior has been blatantly

unconstitutional for a very long time. As the book chronicles,

the Department of Justice, the IRS, and other federal agencies

have all been repeatedly unleashed on those whom the oneparty

state wishes to target. In light of this situation, state


governments should not be obliged to serve slavishly a federal

administration that is making war on some of its citizens. Up

until Joe Biden&#8217election, it was in fact the Left, with

media incitement, which was calling for resistance to the

federal government, on behalf of marijuana use, sanctuary for

illegals, and gay marriage before that. Why

shouldn&#8217tthe Right or the non-Left have the same right

to disobey federal directives which are coming from a regime

that is openly hostile? Jeff here has given outraged citizens a

voice and extolls them to pursue this practice of resistance

through state or local governments where they can. Although

he knows it&#8217not clear this strategy will be sufficient to

work against federal overreach, he encourages us to get out of

our chairs and be proactive in finding ways to push back.In A

Strange Liberty, there is more of the mood and wit of H.L.

Mencken&#8217American Mercury than the spirit of National

Review. This anthology does not just duplicate the positions of

a previous generation. It is a creative return to truths that were

never lost and should be given an active voice again.
