And you DO imagine that 13 colonies, which were then states, with a mostly white population , with a totally different level of technology, culture , and mores, is the same as this nation is today. Yes, that is how you see it , but that isn't reality. The Founders were elitists. They had a rather low opinion of the common man. Do you also want that attitude to prevail ?

You really don't know what you are saying, when you claim that you want things to go back to the 18th century. This is a different world. Do I want less government ? YES ! Do I want less taxation ? BIG YES ! Do I want to go back to the 18th century ? NO ! Can we ? NO!

For the trillionth time, we did not get to where we are now, in one fell swoop. It was done incrementally, and incrementally is the only way things can be changed.

Some historical facts here, might help. Abortion is a big sticking point for most people here. Let's start with that. Abrtions have always been done. So has infanticide ; though Partial Birth Abortion is THE most horrific way . President Bush said that he would sign a boll which stops this. That's a good first step. You may not like what he said about stem cell research, but he pushed that envelope harder than any previous president ever has , and got EVERYONE to accept that a fetus is a baby, is a human, and nt a lump or mass.

Taxes are a buggaboo. He's working in on it.

This is NOT a world in which we can or should be isolationistic. This is NOT the 18th century. I'll leave the military complex and a standing army of musket shooters alone.

In the 18th century gossips were put in the stocks , adulterers and catamites jailed. Is this where you want to go ? Just asking.

The government was smaller, and this nation was smaller. Many agencies can be made smaller / done away with, but that takes time.

I suppose that you don't want public schools. Am I correct? There are many people who shouldn't homeschool and others who won't do anything. There IS a better way to handle the school problem.

Okay, that's its. You really don't care anyway. All you want to do is complain. I have yet to see a Bush basher make one constructive argument here.

I would have expected such a long hysterical rant had I actually bashed your boy on this thread. *sniff*
Instead you find yourself violently agreeing with what I did say. No I don't agree with this crap about incrementalism. REAL leaders aren't limp-wristed incrementalists. Lincoln's emancipation proclamation wasn't wimpish increntalism, neither was FDR's new deal or Johnson's war on poverty. Yeah conservatives hate the the last two. FDR and Johnson weren't pussy incrementalists, they were leaders of the opposition. It's too bad the current GOP leadership, including Bush, is a bunch of incrementalist pussies.

OK now your hysterical rant was justified.
