I long ago gave up wondering why pubbie nominees walk into the same doors every four years.
Thank God for technology, for the writings, speeches, and documents of America's founding period which are available with the click of a mouse, and a seemingly new rebellion against tyrannical government!
What was covered up, relegated to the dusty stacks in libraries, censored from the textbooks, denigrated and banned from public discourse, and all but erased from the American memory (L. Cheney) may spring forth and become a powerful and truly progressive movement to expose and defeat the regressive wannabe tyrants who call themselves 'progressives.'
If that movement and passion for liberty is aroused, then the tyrants may realize that their over-reach for power may have served to bring about a rediscovery of "the People's" chains on their power--the U. S. Constitution.
