Thanks for the post. I certainly feel your pain, to some extent. My main point here is that we've all got to work together, and that means not putting all your eggs in one basket.

United we stand, divided we fall......

Well, if we all stand together in the unconstitutional basket, the bottom is going to fall out.

I feel yours, too, but we need to show a little backbone, and I daresay, a little self-respect with regard to the GOP. They need to know that they can't just walk all over us just because we know that the alternative would be worse. That's blackmail, plain and simple. By accepting it, we're acknowledging that they control us, rather than the other way around.

Real tyranny is tyranny over the mind. It's OK if we have bad rulers if we know we're willing to stand up to them every inch of the way. But when we welcome usurpers, we lose our ability to even know what freedom is. We're making a big mistake if we assume that the GOP will fight for our freedom. Only we can do that for ourselves.
