They Live or Red Dawn?
This is the official blog of the Publius Society, a group of political diverse members of the Hamilton College community with a common interest in the relevance of the Constitution and the Federalist Papers to contemporary issues. The Society meets monthly at the Alexander Hamilton Institute in Clinton, NY.
A reader has suggested an annotation for those unfamiliar with popular culture. These are movies. Red Dawn involves an invasion of the US which is resisted by a group of highschool students under color of their high school mascot, the Wolverines. In They Live the invaders are aliens, and Rowdy Roddy Piper, a professioal wrestler, saves the day. So much for scholarship…and without recourse.
