Not a chance. The bulk of our citizens are currently only interested in what is best for themselves, and what the government will give them.

Then how do explain this FR thread from 3 days ago?

Reuters poll: Obama approval at 38/55, two-thirds worry about "Dangerous" detainee swap precedent

[Pox]

A “Poll”? Really?

Grasp at anything that will preclude the necessary course(s) of action. That’s fine by me. Our Founding Fathers warned us of what we could face in the future and gave us an “out” in our Bill of Rights.

No sane person wishes to proceed on that course, but it was put there for good reason and explained to us very clearly. Consider historical precedents and I believe the remedy is clear, yet difficult and costly and consists of great sacrifice to those who are willing to continue the Republic as envisioned.

The alternative is infinitely worse, IMO.
