My Allegiance is to this country, its founding principles, and to its survival. And my goal is to see the federal government devolve itself back to the constraints of the constitution. There is no one here more conservative than I. I take the Constitution at its word, and the best decipehring of its intent is from those such as Madison, Hamilton, Jay, Jefferson, Franklin, and others who participated in the crafting of it.

You would be very happy if I could be benevolent dictator for a year. I would shitcan 60% of the federal bureaucracy, vacate umpteen ridiculous SCOTUS decisions and have us start over with the laws of 1787, minus the slavery. I would also forcefully enforce the laws against sedition and treason so that libs would no longer undermine our wars.

That being said, I'm also a keen observer of politics as THEY ARE. And the constraints and forces that direct and limit what a president can do. And despite my anger at the shortcomings of the President, the politics over the last 50 years, and the nanny-state tendencies of large swaths of the electorate, I also realize that the freedoms we have are still the envy of the world. As our the opportunities. I sense a re-awakening of the ideals that this nation was founded on, and there is hope that the re-awakening will translate into devolution of power at the federal level. States and cities have always been free to be idiotic, as long as they did not directly violate specific constitutionally protected freedoms, so I don't worry or concentrate on them as much. If Idaho wants to ban gay bars, fine. If san fran wants to spend its tax money opening them, fine. I don't care. I care and will continue to fight for constitutionalism and for the ability for us to crush our enemies.
