A drastic option, but an option nonetheless. Am I saying that this particular situation warrants such a radical solution? No. But, somewhere down the road of progressive tyranny, the patriots of old drew a line in the sand and said, "This far and no further!" Who among us has the depth of committment that these men had? And where will the courage be mustered in a land of "contented slavery"? You tell me when enough is enough?
There are two ways to save ourselves from socialism and the loss of freedom. One is term limits, do away with the professional politicians that have a deathgrip on congress. This includes of course good and bad, pub and dem. I am ashamed that we have a man 99 years old in the senate, regardless of his belief. Kennedy coming up on 40 years in the senate and we all know his moral and political views. To leave people this long is to make a statement that the states do not have another person that could do the job as well or better.
If term limits are not palatable, then the other recourse is revolution. This country was born of a revolution because some men wanted to be free. The others were willing to live on their knees all their lives.
