When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

If we continue to buy into the Democrat vs Republican kabuki theater we are hopelessly lost. The 900 lb gorilla in the middle of the room will destroy us if we continue to ignore it.

I totally agree. I’ve often stated that we need to elect representatives from each county and parish in the US (about 3.500) and send them to Washington to replace the current crop of corrupt 500+ (both congress and senate) who are destroying our country by their shenanigans.

That is why we have to craft an argument that is unassailable to either side....
