posted a picture of herself on Instagram a couple of weeks ago with a quote from E.E. Cummings as her text.<\/p>\n
She posted it a day after my successful twitter spree. She must have figured out that Cummings is one of my influences. Clever. Well done, Taylor.<\/p>\n
All of the political stuff that\u2019s going on has me reminiscing, and Taylor\u2019s post brought back even more memories. This morning I searched through my archive of old political works and found my copy of Mullins\u2019 Secrets of the Federal Reserve<\/em>. I have the early edition of the work- the one that Cummings wrote a short introduction to.<\/p>\n Cumming\u2019s intro was very, very different from what you usually see in old conservative works. I didn\u2019t understand it when I first read the book 11 years ago. I think I get it now, though.<\/p>\n I read through some of Mullins\u2019 text too. It\u2019s still interesting but a bit dated, though less so than other conservative works during that time because it isn\u2019t focused on the Soviet.<\/p>\n Oh, how I wish that 20th century conservatives hadn\u2019t focused so much on the Soviet \u201cmenace\u201d! The real enemy of our race wasn\u2019t even there! It was here, all along, plotting America\u2019s subversion and eventual subjugation to a financial dictatorship. The NYC crowd was the real threat. The Soviets just wanted to be left alone.<\/p>\n While browsing my archives, I also found my copy of Revilo Oliver\u2019s masterwork America\u2019s Decline: The Education of a Conservative<\/em>. I\u2019ve been meaning to look something up in Oliver\u2019s tome, but I couldn\u2019t find it.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t find what I was looking for within the book, either. I remember Oliver mentioning somewhere in America\u2019s Decline<\/em> that an American citizen actually ran the old Soviet Union during the World War II period. That remark stunned me when I read it, but it was said by Oliver, who was the most reliable and level- headed of the great 20th century conservatives. I thought that that fact might be an interesting thing to mention on twitter to someone, and it still would be, except that I don\u2019t know who it was the Oliver was referring to.<\/p>\n Oh well.<\/p>\n Maybe the remark was made in one of Oliver\u2019s other books. The Jewish Strategy<\/em>, perhaps? \u00a0Conspiracy or Degeneracy? \u00a0<\/em><\/em>It\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve read them that I honestly don\u2019t remember.<\/p>\n Wait\u2026 what was this post about?<\/p>\n Oh yeah, Taylor Swift. Summer\u2019s coming up so I\u2019ll see her in shorts again. Ummm\u2026 good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" posted a picture of herself on Instagram a couple of weeks ago with a quote from E.E. Cummings as her text.
