Yeah I get the drift, but seems to me it's more like a rip-tide.

I've been telling people that America as a Constitutional Republic finally succumbed on Sept. 11, when it was replaced by what will eventually be known as Imperial America.

Sad thing is, I don't see any way around it. Our Constitution, weakened and ignored from a long train of abuses dealt out by tyrants like Lincoln and FDR, just couldn't support us any longer. We are left in a position of grasping the new order and thereby defeating terrorism, or simply expiring with a whimper.

America, 1776-2001. Requiescat in pace.
