He's Got a Plan

Listen carefully to this. The Messiah condemns, of all things, the Warren Court, one of the most liberal of our last century. The complaint he notes is that pesky old Constitution which LIMITS the government. The Warren Court, he asserts, didn't go far enough in stretching the power of the federal government which the Founders had so cautiously constrained in their document. The feds should not only correct past social injustice by freeing slaves and giving the disenfranchised the right to vote. The federal government should also aggressively redistribute wealth.



So, he has been consistent through the years. He is an unabashed socialist. He's got a plan. You've got a job. He's going to take your earnings and distribute them to others seeking economic justice.

This begins to look like a Thomas Jefferson moment when the tree of liberty will need refreshing. Ol' Tom predicted that it would come around every forty years or so. We've muddled through for 220. We're overdue, but this should trigger it if we still have the backbone.
