“.... Paul rocks the boat and dares to bring up the fact this is not the nation the Framers gave us.”

Yep - We have the Internet and electricity now and flush potties too. Our population is very different from the population the framers knew. Girls can wear pants instead of skirts and work outside the home and even fly airplanes! Slavery has been abolished and blacks can vote. We have trains, and planes and automobiles! The world is a much scarier place than it was in 1776. Ron Paul wants us to go back...No thanks, Ron. I like flush potties and electric lights!

I see. So because we've had technological advances and social advances we need more government to protect us. From what? Ourselves? Foreign boogeymen?

Oh my 'conservatism' has gone straight to the dogs hasn't it?
