Author’s note: I’ve decided to adapt my series on statism into a book length manuscript.  The following is an excerpt from the second chapter.  Here’s hoping you enjoy, and find it informative! Chapter Two: Vessels of Myth, Conduits of Narrative “Modern propaganda is a consistent, enduring effort to create or shape events to influence the relations of the public to an enterprise, idea, or group.” -Edward Bernays “Ideology is a ‘Representation’ of the Imaginary Relationship... 

When Howard Dean implemented his “50 State Strategy” most, including some in his own party, considered his plan to be unworkable and more importantly “unwinnable”. After the resounding sweep of the Democrats in 2006 and Obama in 2008, the RNC has only feebly attempted to replicate this strategy. From Wikipedia: “As chairman of the party, Dean created and employed the ‘50 State Strategy’ that attempted to make Democrats competitive in normally...

Corey Stewart is a man to be proud of, and as a Virginian – I salute him. I wish I lived close enough to vote for him. Mr. Stewart is pushing for a similar piece of legislation to Arizona’s law in the state of Virginia at this very moment. Kudos to you sir. Thank you for being another good American standing up for the rule of law and what it is supposed to mean. Thank you for being a leader and someone who understands that illegal is illegal and that if you are going to punish people... 

Mr Obama, You lead this country only by the will of the people. This is something that you, your cronies, and all too often the Republican leadership has forgotten in the past and are certainly ignoring today. While I am sure you feel that you can do some good for the Democrat politicians…. oops – I mean the Mexican people you are allowing to cross the border like a flood through a hay bale, you are harming the American way of life with your purely political take on this situation.
