LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

few of you will have to face things or DIE; you will have to THINK or
die. Hard choice for the daisy pickers, but a real choice.
Roosevelt’s gang have got you hitched up with Russia. Not a very good
bet. Russians attack general Winter. Mightn’t it be that Joe Bloodsucker
KNOWS his army will starve in three or four months ANYHOW unless
they break the Germans before that ? Why suppose that winter attack
means STRENGTH on the part of the Russians ?
Not my job to speculate on military conditions, but might be. My job, as
I see it, is to save what’s left of America, and keep up some sort of
civilization somewhere or other. I decline to abet the destroyers. I
decline, so far as the light is conceded me, I decline to climb trees to
catch fish. That’s an old one, 24 hundred years old.
Mencius referred t, the folly of starting a war for something you couldn’t
GET; something the war could not bring to the monarch Mencius was
talking to. So he said, climb trees to catch fish.
In the present juncture I refer to the POSSIBILITY that even the swiping
and squashing of South America and of Canada may not catch even
South America and Canada. Suckers, of course, you will get hold of
some of ’em. Am I fanciful ?
Look at least at the possibility that this mere distention of U.S. borders
MAY not be the way to get what you are battling for. It WON’T be
unless you pay some attention to what happens INSIDE America.
It won’t be if you lose ALL internal structure. When the turnpike
depends upon Congress, local control is lost. Well, that was said a long
time ago. The central government must in modern life have some
powers. But as human beings it might be well to ask how many powers,
and which powers ?
