Joe Sobran reference to The Revolution Was

"Bad news travels slowly. Despite the postelection (2000) morass, punditry has bubbled with the happy theme that "the Republic will survive." Actually, it didn't. The great Republic was destroyed long ago, and we're living in its ruins. I recommend Garet Garrett's classic pamphlet THE REVOLUTION WAS, if you can find a copy. Garrett saw the truth during the New Deal."

Another Garet Garrett sighting at Joe Sobran's page

Joe Sobran has quoted Garet Garrett again. This quote appeared in the November 24th column. These Garrett quotes by modern writers are so rare that they are worth repeating whenever they occur:

Garet Garrett, another critic of Roosevelt, understood that the United States was undergoing a revolution — of the kind Aristotle had called “revolution within the form."

Sobran wrote more extensively about Garrett [and Sobran's own discovery of Garrett] here. I will comment on that column in the future.

Garet Garrett sighting - Joe Sobran

Garet Garrett was mentioned in Joe Sobran's column on July 5th:

We may as well face it: the American Republic whose birth we celebrate every July 4 has ceased to exist. It succumbed long ago to what Garet Garrett used to call “revolution within the form.” The names of the old things have been preserved, but their meanings have entirely changed.
