“And the EPA needs to be ripped up by the roots, and the earth beneath it salted.”
I could forgive a lot in a candidate that would make THAT promise.
And can you imagine the impact on DC, if they literally blew up the building and salted the ground?
Good luck finding that candidate. I don't think there's a single one in the current crop who would even secretly harbor the desire to tilt at that windmill. We all might as well face it: it's going to take a bottom-up, 10th Amendment effort, state by state, and probably with a lot of local, jurisdictional civil defiance to put Washington in it's place. This country is too far over the waterfall to think that we're going to put one person at the top who will stop the insanity. The only types who would even
want to occupy the Oval Office in this day and age are either delusional, or dictatorial to begin with.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
