So because the 'New Deal' (repackaged socialism) was passed by 'elected legislatures' we should keep it? All those great government programs which have broken the back of our economy? How about the Progressive acts of the late 19th/early 20th? Making the market 'fair' instead of free?
As I've said today's 'conservatism' follows the view of the Framers in no fashion. Face it, you are advocating nothing but a 'living, breathing' Constitution. Taking up the banner of liberals.
Reinstate slavery? Take away womens right to vote? Or will you pick and choose? (Well arent you special...)
How special, the red herring of slavery and women's suffrage. Because if I don't support the 98% of unconstitutional government surrounding me I must by default support putting people back into chains...although it would do to get rid of the 17th Amendment and put the power back in the hands of the separate and sovereign states.
Still we are always trying to be better.
So that's the moniker of today's progressive movement is it? Trying to do better? Just my opinion but you may want to work on a better catchphrase...
Paul would undo 200 years of our history
Again another misnomer. He would work to undo 200 years of unconstitutional government. The government is not history, the government is not the nation. The government is the government. And it's time to put it back in its place
So you WOULD undo 200 years of American government. And here we’ve been paying congress, presidents, and judges all those years...
You want to undo so much in one fell swoop. Perhaps it would be better to put all your energy into electing a stong conservative congress with a backbone and a 60% majority to straighten out the places where our laws have turned out poorly.
