I’m So Glad We Had This Time Together…by Bill Kauffman
...Our America– the ragged prophet/volunteer fire department/sacrifice bunt America—ain’t dead yet. The late great Edward Abbey used to say “Up with Spring/Down with Empire! Now there’s a war cry you could win elections with.”
Still could, Ed.
Chesterton told us that the patriot never, under any circumstances, boasts of the largeness of his country, but always, and of necessity, boasts of its smallness. Dorothy Day spoke of the Little Way. Or little way. As the anti-American Empire crumbles into unlamented dust, patriots of the little America, on their front porches and in their backyards, will reclaim our country. Read back through this discussion. Our side is fiddles and poetry and baseball and country churches and the local beer. Their side is bombs and tanks and television. How can we lose?
