[Libertarianize the GOP]

And what is your alternative; the only alternative I can find to allowing a super majority to pass stupid discriminatory laws is to allow some dictator or aristocracy to over rule the majority. Unless I happen to be the dictator the best alternative is to trust the opinion of most all my neighbors or move to a friendlier neighborhood.

I'll bump to that.

The alternative is what we actually have: in a Consitutional Republic some questions are put beyond reach of the majority. At least that's how it's supposed to happen. For example, gun control laws are supposed to not happen at all, because of the Second Amendment. "One's right to life, liberty and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no election." The fact we do have gun control represents a failure of staying true to our system of government. The fact that Jim Crow laws came into being, or that women weren't allowed to vote, was because of Clintonian parsing, that blacks or women weren't "citizens" in much the same way that, today, fetuses are not considered "human beings" by today's abortion activists.
