This book is a whole section of history you've never known. Some of the things I once believed have been turned on their head. Mussolini has long been attributed to being the first fascist, but he actually followed in the footsteps of our very own Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was a progressive. As Wilson put it, The essence of Progressivism was that the individual "marry his interests to the state." Totalitarianism in other words. If that isn't fascism I don't know what it is. And guess who actually coined the word Totalitarianism, thats right, Mussolini. Now we have Hillary calling herself a "Modern Progressive." One of the very few times when her true self showed through the facade. This book will enlighten and enrage you at times. Especially if you have liberal tendencies. Libs if you want to know where your ideas, and their results, came from; read this book.
"No doubt, a lot of nonsense has been talked about the inalienable rights of the individual, and a great deal that was mere vague sentiment and pleasing speculation has been put forward as fundamental principle."
---------------Woodrow Wilson
"We must demand that the individual shall be willing to lose the sense of personal achievement, and shall be content to realize his activity only in connection to the activity of the many."
----------Jane Addams(less)

This was a quick and fascinating read. Paul, glosses over some of his views on almost every subject (abortion, economy, social security etc)that is encountered today in the political sphere. MOst of his comments and political plans are straight-forward, common sensical. The major pitfall though is that that they are highly impractical. Due in large part to the fact that the system is so broke at this point and the laws that have been put into place (that undermine the core of the rights of American citizens) will essentially cost more money to be repealed and taken out of existence. Paul spends alot of time in describing how the politicians through their own agendas look past the Constitution and make up their own rules to play by while the rest of us (primarily middle and lower class citizens) pay the price. Pauls ideologies, albeit (less)
