For all my Calvinist and Reconstructionist Friends

I know some of you are waiting for Jean or Rousas to come back from the dead and establish an ecclisiocracy, but until then, take a look at what Gary North is saying about Ron Paul. (I don't agree with North on much, but you guys do. So pay attention, please.)

"We are seeing a political phenomenon like no other in history. We are seeing the creation of an army of volunteers who have not been actively recruited. This is as close to Hayek's concept of the spontaneous order as politics has ever provided. It is Isaiah's job in action.

Back in 1937, Albert Jay Nock wrote an essay titled "Isaiah's Job." It dealt with the strategic error of starting a political movement to save America. It will not work, Nock said. The kind of people who you need in order to change America cannot be attracted by active political recruiting. Such people will seek out those leaders who they approve of. He called them the Remnant.

We are now seeing what Nock did not foresee: the coming together of a grass roots army. It is assembling itself. The Internet's technology is making this possible.

The Remnant is forming."
