I favor closed borders, small government and an armed citizenry.

As I said before, I favor closed borders, and I also favor the idea of a much smaller government. I've just about come to the conclusion that we won't get either one with anything short of a violent revolution, and that's just not going to happen in the current political and cultural climate. I also very much favor an armed citizenry. I have a firearm myself, but exactly how are you going to force the average modern feminized male to arm himself, especially in the modern litgious society? Even if it weren't for the ubiquitous ambulance-chasers, a lot of guys today would run in the other direction screaming rather than personally intervene if they saw a rape taking place before their eyes.

Politics is the art of the possible, and like it or not, you simply have to try and work within the framework of what you've got, and we don't have much right now. If we can't get any of the things you mentioned, I'll settle for destroying our enemies before they destroy us.

I understand, that is why I offered my two cents.

I have given up on a political solution, but I do not believe taking up arms is the answer or the only option. I believe some mechanisms retired in 1865 can be resurrected just like 'Impeachment.'

I do believe, in the meantime, exposing the villains of the Republic, which include Mylroie's opportunism, is a useful exercise and I also happen to believe that we are best to have moral men in the executive office and Bush has many family oriented qualities that can be admired so he should be supported. I find the obsession to the point of hysteria over the lack of WMDs to be a fascinating thing to observe; even though I was against this war, I was shocked that they found absolutely zero; I had no idea the intelligence apparatus was as corrupt and incompetent as that.
