Since the country is completely off the Constitutional reservation, it will probably take something completely unconstitutional to get it back on the rails.

I'm not-so-jokingly leaning toward the notion that the US Military should step in and take control of all branches of the Federal Government while turning over the aspects of everyday control to the States. It can then "de-Baathify" and set the ground rules once again for a Constitutional structure. Federal electons can be organized and held under military supervision until such time as it can step back and be assured we're up and running.

Any faith I ever had that this Federal government can be put back in its cage via the good graces of politicians has vanished.

Call it Operation American Freedom

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be the blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.

Deep stuff, even if it is from the Hobbit guy. My point is, don't assume everything of value is going to be lost irretrevably.

Civil disobedience? As if everyday working stiffs will risk being arrested for barging into the Congressional chambers and committees. No-load liberals spray-paint the Capitol steps and are willing to be dragged off in handcuffs - they see it as badge of honor. Joe-Six-Pac-SoccerMom wouldn't. We have families to contend with.

This is where I get peeved. "We have families..."

"We" sound like the Russians in the Soviet Union who had families, and the state used them as hostages. Step too far out of line and your family will suffer. Very effective.

But civil disobedience is a lot easier than lawsuits, Navy Vet. It can be done by an amateur without years of legal education. It can be done in leisure hours, or when you're beered up, or when the impulse kicks in. It takes less time, less energy, less money, less organization. It's guerrilla warfare, war on the cheap.

Your everyday working stiff might not want to barge into Congressional chambers, but there are plenty of working stiffs with inner rowdies, needing only a little more stimulus and maybe a ride and some bail insurance. And the rest of the working stiffs, they can still use the mail and the spray can and dozens of other annoying items.

Havoc is easy. Organization is hard. Court is effin' hard.

Besides, people who play by the rules, tend to lose against people who don't. The Democrats are trying to destroy the Constitution and the culture; I for one don't want to engage in kabuki-esque stageplay with them.
