    Gee....It's almost like when they ran promising to repeal obammycare....and then did nothing.

    Dabney saw it LONG ago.

    "This conservative party is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt hath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance: The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip.”

    -Robert Lewis Dabney from (wait for it....) 1871

    Dead on balls accurate.



    The central state is a cesspool filled with mother ******* whose sole interest is their "political career". To Hell with them. Repeal the central state.
    Wow, that’s good.

    Dabney was insightful....and a good reminder there is nothing new under the sun. Centralizing control freaks are going to do their damnedest to centralize and control.

    Among other things, Dabney was "Chief of Staff" and biographer to Thomas Jackson. Most have likely never heard of him.

    With progressives hell-bent on erasing anything associated in any way with the confederacy of southern States, it's likely even fewer will look very deeply into what knowledge they had to share.....and the centralization and control will increase to a backdrop of "patriotic sound and imagery".

    I often wonder what those who seceeded from Britain long ago would think of us if they saw us today.
