That kind of stuff used to be frowned-upon, but it is not any longer. I've come across the attitude of "the more a thread gets posted/bumped the better" before (some folks think that it gets "the word out"). Usually, those are the same folks that think voting Third Party makes a difference, and are unwilling to make the effort to split-off voters from the Dems by posting elsewhere than FR.

You and your friends must want folks to read these threads since you consistently bump them to the top. You guys have helped to keep the discussion going.

It's really that simple, but difficult for most to absorb. We have to be a nation of laws and not men, else we'll fail. But those laws have to be, as you point out, in pursuance to the Bill of Rights/Constitution, for the Constitution constructs the legal mechanism and contract for our elected officials to adhere to, to prevent infringement of both enumerated and non-enumerated rights of the individual.

Our failure to hold those elected officials to their constitutional oaths is the real problem, as I see it.
It's a failure of our political 'two party' system. And FR is a perfect example of why that system is not working to restore our Constitution.

I notice you are defending our two party system, R-boy. Care to expand on your point? -- How are our liberties being defended by the present system?

Is our Constitution being honored by either party?

Oh, it's still frowned-upon, it's just that FR is sticking with the technical requirement that the actual articles be different.
