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’behavior 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’election, 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’tthe 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’not 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’American 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.
