Some folks think they can act with impunity, and there won’t be consequences.
Yup. Chicago-style politics may be unsustainable in a country this big. This analysis has a lot going for it, but it assumes—among other things—that Repubs won’t get some balls (go Broun!) and that the people won’t revolt. Which, of course, the NRA types are practically hoping for. :-)
Our hope is in a large, 30%-ish sized portion of the population. They aren’t going anywhere. Look to your local leaders (that’s where future presidents come from), run for city council, bone up on your Bastiat, Smith, Friedman, and Hayek. And breed, breed, breed!!! :-)
