No doubt it's been posted, and the usual suspects are weighing in that Buchanan is an out of touch isolationist paleocon.."

Yes he is. How many votes has he gotten for president, combined, in his three runs?

Well, I do find comfort in the realization that my ideas are in line with men like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Henry, and the rest of the real patriots who formed this country.

I guess Ben Franklin was right to suspect that our republic would devolve into a democracy where the President responds to the masses without regard to the legality of his actions.

When do you think the Republican abandoned its stance on limited government and the rule of law? After all, it's clear by the opinions on this thread that most FReepers are perfectly content to abandon the ideals of capitalism and federalism in certain circumstances, though none of you can actually explain when we should do so and when we should actually obey the laws we have established.
