After what happened on Nov. 4, 2008, do you really want to put the task of restraining the federal leviathan entirely in the hands of the people? All you need is another Epic Fail on the part of the Republicans, should they get back into power, and we’ll have another round of people like Al Frankenfraud elected to the Senate.
The people are indeed the ones to whom the government should be accountable, but there needs to be a backup, in case the will of the people runs counter to liberty, as it did on Nov. 4, 2008.
“After what happened on Nov. 4, 2008, do you really want to put the task of restraining the federal leviathan entirely in the hands of the people?”
Duh, of course.
Democracy is the worst form of Govt. Except for all the rest.
We have no choice. We win hearts and minds back to freedom, the constitution and rule of law ... or we are toast anyway.
“in case the will of the people runs counter to liberty, as it did on Nov. 4, 2008.”
that backup is called Nov 2, 2010.
