THE VIEW FROM AFAR





A man's admiration for absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.

– Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America






TH2 message to the American people:
  • de Tocqueville warned you long ago.
  • Don't do it.
  • Or else...



UPDATE / 11:45 PM EDT 21 March 2010:

  • Bill passed.
  • Quotation below posted in my comment at V for Victory!
  • Worth repeating here.
  • For a different time and place, but circumstances similar.

The age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators, has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.


Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790)

I'm feeling quite helpless, as my plea to my congressman has gone unheard. And he calls himself a "pro-life Catholic"! My prayers at Mass tonight will be ever-fervent.

Praying north of the border as well.

Mary, prayer is probably the most important weapon we have in this battle, esp the Rosary. Remember Lepanto!

TH2 a lot of us are listening. Keep on praying.
