but it is far preferable to go down fighting for what is right and proper and good than to admit defeat and surrender like a coward and a slave and a traitor.

Going down fighting is one thing. But defeat is defeat. When the games over, and the scoreboard says you lost, you can run another play if it makes you feel better, but the game's already over. The results are in. The standings have been updated. It's over.

So what to do, right? All I'm saying is the problem is much worse than it even looks. It isn't just RINOs. It isn't just the GOP. The conservative movement itself is apparantly incapable of staying within constitutional limits. I keep harping on tort reform, and "letting states sell insurance across state lines", because they are topics de jour. Conservatives from top to bottom support these measures. No one stops to question whether it's legitimate federal power.

So, that means it's the DEMs, RINOs, The GOP, conservative talk radio, Club for Growth, and anyone else you can think of that are AGAINST limited gubmint. They only like it when it suits them. So that's the situation.

I personally think America should be busted up. I hope one day it gets so bad that states start to break away, and modern Western wimps don't have the balls to do anything about it. Then at least people can start from scratch. But the American experiment is a failure. It's still a nice place to live, all things considered, but miles and miles removed from what it was supposed to be.

Well, insofar as it is at least 90+% certain that it’s current federal law that may be hanging up either tort reform or allowing interstate sales of health insurance, a simple repeal of such illegitimate “laws” would be in order. Then keep the Feddie nose out from under the tent!
