Whose arguing? You love the Progressive movement of the early 20th century so much you defend a progressive amendment that isn’t even near to being repealed on a forum called ironically - FREE REPUBLIC. One wonders why? What are your fears? Why so stressed? Can’t handle the truth? Marxists are like that too I’ve noticed.
Hey, I logically respond to your points, which you continually ignore. You’re the one who wants to empower politicians at the expense of the people. Politicians have too much power already. Pointing out these truths to you and your compatriots seems to result in personal attacks, f-bombs, scatological references and foot-stomping. Not exactly Conservative behavior.
