I'm damned sure more open to that idea than I used to be.
It's really just the Dutchboy and the dyke.
It's a fait accompli.
The demographic tsunami we are living in is going to end any notion of rolling back entitlements or minority preferences we once fancied.
Right now in the electoral college, we are holding off a steady Left drumbeat mainly because married with children whites (and Cubans in FL) throughout the Plains/Rocky Mts, South and certain Midwest states are voting (R) in such a bloc fashion.
Let FL sink or PA continue to or Colorado to fall too and it's over. We will fall into a Socialist abyss that would make LBJ and FDR green with envy.
The demographic shift is precisely what killed the whale ...Kali. It's now taken IL too and NJ and PA it seems. Florida hangs in there mainly because they have a large voting bloc with firsthand knowledge of collectivism but their power is being eroded as we speak by large immigration shifts which do not share that conservatism.
I am not hopeful in any event. We will either get clobbered or we will moderate ourselves to the point that there won't be much difference. We seem to be flirting with the latter on some issues already.
If and that's a great big IF we ever regain the national pride and patriotism to demand that our elected officials OBEY every word of their Oath of Office we might be able to swing the other way, back towards being an actual Republic.
The Minuteman Program is scaring them silly, thank God!
