Man, that was good. It is all possible. We can pull a divide and conquer strategy on them as they continually do to us. I keep going back to Obamacare. It is more unpopular than ever and may be the perfect foil to call for going back to the original structure. More than half of the states formally opposed in court. As for Jim Crow, a history lesson will take care of that . . . if of course, there is time once our backs are against the wall.

I'm reading a Federalist Pamphlet from April 1788. Among other topics, the author spent a page going over the history of English rights and how they were reluctantly granted by Princes. No written constitution of course, but the people carved out rights from a sea of powers belonging to the sovereign, the King. This pamphlet was designed for the average reader of the time and given wide distribution in Virginia. It would flop as a post at FreeRepublic and be derided by any non-conservative as reactionary, irrelevant . . . dead white men, etc. My larger point is that I fear we have become too corrupted to understand what we lost and why we must return to federal and republican government.
