Aristocratic Despotism
For some time now, I’ve been searching for a word to describe the current government in America. It’s not a republic, not by any means. It’s FAR from a democracy. And it’s not quite socialism or communism, although it does have a lot of features of both of those. I think Alan Keyes may have hit upon it with “aristocratic despotism.” We are certainly ruled by a ruling class. They always know better than us peons. They are always forcing us to do things for our own good, or for the good of “society.” And in case you didn’t notice, nearly all of the rulers in Washington are obscenely rich. Yes, I think aristocratic despotism is quite an accurate description of today’s government.
Can that be changed? Maybe. Alan Keyes thinks that perhaps it can.
Before you vote this fall for the lesser of two evils, please do go read this. I’ll warn you — it’s LONG for a post on the web. It will take some effort to understand. But I promise you it’s worth it. Don’t go read it now — go read it when you’ve got a little time to spend. It will be worth your time.
