Your post is long and thoughtful, and it is worthy of discussion more than can be accomplished here, but this strikes me so I'll comment on this part:

So by what right do we the electorate claim to be midffed when they do what decades of history PROVE we sent them there to do? Compromise everything.

I believe it was Ayn Rand who said the existence of the Republican party was only to slow the inevitable slide to the left...she was wholly correct in that view.

World history has shown that man has been slave to Government or men in power, this Country, once an exception, is merely sliding back to what has been normal.

People like you and I will not go peacefully, we will die free men.

May God Bless us all.

“we will die free men.”

In the end, that’s the best we can hope for.
