“I also do not favor a thermonuclear civil war.”

Let us hope that the Statist equally have no love for the idea of thermonuclear “Civil War”. That they may as such be conveced to let us depart in peace rather then destroy all including that which they mean to rule (without the consent of the governed) so that they may not lose any.

I do not beleive the folk we are dealing with are so insane, but if they are indeed so insane we must verify that fact as it would prove most useful in destroying them.

” You do have a way of picking political losing ideas.”

I am trying to think Creatively and logically up a way to get us out of what has been over the last 100+ years a losing war for the side of liberty.

We are not even going to hold our ground with half measures, just as we have not been able to over the last 100+ years.

Theses “radical” solutions may be difficult to implement, indeed i agree many of them are impossible as is. But they were not proposed out of concern for their implementability but out of the need to logically address the problem.

While politics may be the art of the possible, insofar that the politically possible is limited the useless, it wast our valuable time and energy to play this game.

So logically we must change the game. But how do we change the game? We introduce new rules, and impose them on the basis of the natural rules which form the foundation of all law at its roots.

Suddenly the relm of the possible expands to include things that were once impossible.

This is precisely what we conservatives have been in desperate need of for the last 100 years. Because for the last 100+ years under the rules in which have played this game the relem of what is and is not possible has effectually prohibited us from doing anything but lose more and more ground to government.

Indeed if we look back into history the only time government truly retreats much less even attempts to hold the line is when it faces the real possibility of losing power, a possibility that comes not from the replacement of politicians but the withdraw of subjects to rule over.

Do not think I am not concerned with the art of the possible(politics) so much as the matters which are necessary and essential to any meaningful gain.

I don’t to that end have any intention of playing by the rules set by the likes of leftist tyrants like Lincoln for such rules only garrentee defeat of liberty and growth of government. The game has been riged against us for more then a 100 years. It’s time we do a little rigging and rattling of our own.

It’s time we find away to make the imposable(politically) possible. And that is precisely what i have been doing.

But this Tolkien amendment will not help us to that end. It will only make our victory even harder.

Indeed such an amendment would be destructive to our cause, by fixing the outlet to the distress on a bar so high as to be practicaly usesless.

It will therefore legitimize the abuses of power, and further legitimize our real salvation which depends entirely upon individual acts to assert individual rights.

When it takes 2/3rds to undo what a mere majority has done you have elevated that Federal majority above that of the super majority of the people and their States.

This amendment is an insult to State’s rights, just as it is an insult to the Republican(constitutional) rights of the minority over the democratically derived tyranny of the majority.

But really in raising the bar even above that set in congress to pass such a bill is really just spiting upon the states and raising the arbitrary supremacy of congress to irreproachable heights.

SO let us leave this oppressive and self-destructive union if that is all the other states think of our rights.
