The framers did not have to contend with a vile media, socialist dems, or a HUGE contingency of gibsmedats who all vote. So, no not like the founders. That is not possible. And, if you are a realist and not a pie in the sky moron you know that all of this liberalism is not going to be rolled back in one election.

You really need to bone up on American history. The Framers dealt with EXACTLY the sort of political dynamics we're dealing with today. Actually, they were even worse.

At no time, did more than one third of Americans support the Revolution. Only 3% actually picked up a rifle and fired on the British in anger.

A third of the people actually supported the Crown, while the remaining third didn't care one way or the other. Think about those odds for a moment and realize what outstanding people the Framers were to overcome all that.

If it weren't for such a concentration of steel spines and unprecedented moral courage in their time, we wouldn't have a country today. And let's not forget the very real blood and treasure they sacrificed to bequeath all this to us.

I feel that it's incumbent upon all of us to find that same courage within ourselves. We owe it to past and future generations of our people.
