2 peripheral points that I was thinking about today.
1) the politicos and media continue to push the notion of our so-called “dedicated public servants” whenever one of them dies or retires after a lifetime in office. There needs to be push back in the same manner the obama denigrated doctors while trying to pass obamacare.
2) We are a free people. Imposing authoritarianism upon a free people is not the same as imposing it upon a citizenry that is accustomed to being ruled. I am trying to come up with a comparable historical example of authoritarianism being imposed upon a free people, and I cannot. There will be an inevitable breaking point that elections, at this point may delay, but cannot avoid. The appropriate Amendments to the Constitution appear to be the only civil way to change this trajectory.

Good, subtle points. I am trying to come up with a comparable historical example of authoritarianism being imposed upon a free people, and I cannot.

We are on the cusp of either peaceful or less than peaceful change. This Article V convention had better happen soon, for their is no doubt that Obama and his statists are sporting to put us all down.
