Well, alright. Allow me to reiterate. Here we sit some 220 plus years since our founding and founding documents. I’ll concede the point they aren’t perfect, which is never achievable anyway. Your apparent desire to trash our Constitution aside, what do you suggest we do today, in 2011? The only caveats; it must be realistic and doable; that is, viable in the current political and social environment we find ourselves in. Here’s your chance again dude, so, go for it.
As for what to actually do in the here and now, my expectations are reasonably low. We do the best we can. We fight back at the national government as much as possible. We try our best to hold the GOP accountable. But it's a two front war for us. We're trying to keep the GOP accountable on the right, while at the same time counting on them to defend us from the left. Not pretty.
Anyway, I'm pragmatic. I say do the best you can in the primaries. Do the best you can in the general. As for my thoughts about the deeper reality, it's just for the sake of it. The intelligentsia is completely asleep. On all sides. We're probably a good hundred years away from any possibility of people starting to seriously consider what I'm suggesting. The scary thing is if we collapse, the right is completely unprepared to make good use of the opportunity. At best we'll repeat the mistakes of 1787.
And by the way, thanks for tamping it down a bit.
