Riding To The Guns

Tom Piatak has an excellent article at VDare reviewing the new collection of Sam Francis’ essays and columns, Shots Fired, in which he talks about a number of Dr. Francis’ observations.  He concludes:

But even if it does not appear at the moment that the Middle American Radicals are about to charge over the hill to the rescue, like the 7th cavalry, there is no reason to give up the fight. The issues Sam identified as important—opposing the dispossession of the middle class and “dismantling the warfare-welfare state, controlling immigration, reversing the erosion of national sovereignty, withdrawing from the pursuit of a globalist-imperialist foreign policy, and restoring a Eurocentric cultural order“— are real and important. Because of their importance, these issues will endure.

And one day, if we are lucky, attract a political champion on a par with their intellectual champion, Sam Francis.
