The United States is the best the world has ever seen. And yeah, like you, I think this ruling is an abomination. And I want to undo it as much as you do. But, I want to undo it within the system we have -- the system of the best nation in the history of the world.
Please, tell me who's better? Prove to me why our system is second to anyone...
On your comment about "You keep on trusting people. 49% of whom voted for an obvious asshat like Kerry." , I have this to say. You speak against "socialist" and yet you love their ways. When a former leader of Russia was asked what he would do if he was voted out of office, he said he would cancel the election. That's always the solution of totalitarians. They never trust the people who don't agree with them. And the results are predictable.
Your way is the way of every thug the world has ever know. It's the default of egomaniacs. And it's not our way. Our way is new -- and different. I trust the people when they voted for Clinton (who I hated) and when they voted for Bush (who I love). If you can point to a country that does it different - maybe like Iran - where the Mullahs make the call (they know what's best - just like you know what's best. Totalitarians always know better than the great unwashed - it's their earmark)
I'm busy and have to leave, so this isn't going to be edited for anything, but I hope you get the idea. Write me about the "better" way and the "better" countries. I'm waiting.
You keep on trusting people. 49% of whom voted for an obvious asshat like Kerry. Not trusting people is why I carry a gun. Not trusting people is why I keep an eye on my government. Not trusting people is why I lock my doors at night. I was told that once we had the Congress and the Executive, things would get better. Now you are sitting there trying to tell me that more of the same will get us anything other than more of what we are currently getting? Prove it.
This "government" isn't the one the Founders framed out. This is an abomination that has been growing on the corpse of our Republic for the last 70 years. That parts of our body politic are starting to rot and fall off more rapidly these days, is just a symptom.
My way? It was the Founders way. "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary..."
Guess what? It is necessary again.
