Take some small comfort that 1 or 2 million votes for Kerry were fraud. And worry that next time it may be 3-4 million fraud for dems because they will try to make up the margins lost in this election.
If the Congress and Senate had the stones, we could start improvement immediately by beginning impeachment proceedings against the most atrocious despots on the bench at the federal level. That would be a good start.
The next thing after that would be to do something about the education system. We can no longer allow only one set of ideas to fester in the education system, at any level. Either get a proportionate representation, or cut off federal funds. Period.
Republicans don't have the stones though. So we will continue to lose those battles, and thus the future.
Well, we won this battle...and if we continue to work hard, have faith, and educate and reason with those around us...on a sustained basis, we can turn the tide and (in time) put more and more people in office who do have the gumption and commmitment to do what is right.
Huh? We keep winning elections. Don't see it.
I've been saying the exact same thing for the past twenty years or so.
Far too many "conservatives" wrongly believe that their neighborhood public school or state college/university is acceptable or tolerable because it is not quite as bad as some of the others. This attitude has allowed the liberal teachers unions to monopolize and degrade the entire realm of education, and by extension to degrade the abilities of the people to rationally discuss and decide the important issues of the day.
Education funding in the U.S. long ago passed the point of diminishing returns, such that every additional dollar per year invested in public education over the past few decades has caused more harm than good. The only way to improve education is to remove all taxpayer funding, return the money to the people, and let schools (including homeschools) compete for the education dollars. The consumer market can better determine quality than a bureacracy can.
You suggest hard core Red State solutions. Use the real law, the Constitution and our majorities to actually undo the horror of creeping Socialism. You are at "the red pole" as I call it.
I do not feel you will see any of what you suggest happen. The limp Senate will not take this tough route.
