After all the folks I have crossed swords with over the last few months here, it is gratifying to see that someone else actually believes this.
It has been a while since we exchanged quips, partly because I am so depressed that the economy has gone exactly where economies always do when you build them on rent seeking behavior, and are able to export your inflation around the world, until you can't.
I am amazed that so-called conservatives cannot keep their firearms aimed at a real enemy, but rather, Cheney like, blast away at friends, and then go looking through their dirty linnnen baskets to see if they can find something that smells.
0 ain't my man. Bush-Cheney are not exactly the hight of constitutional conservatism towards which we want to aspire.
I don't know what the future holds, but I pray fervently that it is none of the above.
I hope that millions of Americans still believe it, and a majority can be educated to believe it. Otherwise we are fated to become the USSA. The USSR had a beautiful constitution—on paper. It’s just that everybody “understood” that it was only for show, and if you made yourself a nuisance demanding the govt follow it, you could lose your job or just disappear.
I hope that we’re not too far down that road to turn back.
