Anarchy in the U.S.A.

"Anarchy has always been an essential streak in the American psyche, and the verity that it’s fading may be the strongest evidence yet that our country needs stimulation.

Does that statement surprise you? Did you write off all of these words as some romanticized, populist tribute to nationalism and xenophobia? I could understand if you have – between the haughty subtitle and my omnipotent soldierisms, that reaction is probably an inevitability. And yet …

Like most good patriots, I have an anarchist in me aching to blow up something, anything, that can be described as important, historical, or even remotely attractive. I believe that’s the Minuteman in us lashing out – part of us hates any person, ideology, or institution that would ever dare impose on the most beautiful of concepts: liberty. Thomas Jefferson famously stated that every generation needs a new revolution, and while that might get expensive, we’d at least maintain our freedoms. (If only through continued relenting of them followed by continued rediscovery of them.)"
