Last one of the night I swear.  This is from Garet Garrett’s essay, The Revolution Was:

“There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.

There are those who have never ceased to say very earnestly, “Something is going to happen to the American form of government if we don’t watch out.” These were the innocent disarmers. Their trust was in words. They had forgotten their Aristotle. More than 2,000 years ago he wrote of what can happen within the form, when “one thing takes the place of another, so that the ancient laws will remain, while the power will be in the hands of those who have brought about revolution in the state.”

The “revolution within the form” is what we face today, it is what makes possible the spectacle of Congressmen, Presidents, and various administrative officials pledging fealty to liberty and the Constitution while simultaneously destroying both.
