One of the things that needs to be done is overhaul the laws and possibly get an amendment that clearly defines what can and connot be labeled a felony. Sometimes it seems that our government (mostly the Dems) are trying to make everything a crime and then have all those crimes turned into a felony offence.
A Society that throws children out of school for play cops n' robbers, or cowboys and 'native americans', and prosecuted them for making "finger" guns while playing, has got no clue when it comes to reasonable jurisprudence.
That's one of the reasons it drives me nuts when perfectionists threaten to bolt the party at the smallest sign that a Republicn president that half the country thinks is illegitimate in the first place makes a compromise with a democrate who will otherwise prevent anything from getting done.
Daschle or Hillary ever read the post on this thread, they would walk away smiling and giving each other "high-fives."
I have very strong Libertarian views on a lot of things, but not nearly enough to join that half-baked party. And certainly not if it means flushing my vote down the toilet so a Dem can get elected. I'd rather stay in the Republican party and influence it from within than than scream uselessly at them from the sidelines of irrellevance.
This is a point well taken! Many who "get on my case" here at FR don't realize that I'm sabre rattling when I say I'm going to bolt "the party". I do admit that I am a perfectionist ... so that's where my bitching originates. Politics is not a good place for me, simply because I come out of the corner swinging and shooting. I'm in a hurry to fix this Republic ... and it is very sick.
Point well taken! Many who "get on my case" and assume I'm a "Bush Basher" don't realize that I'm a die-hard sabre-rattler. I am a perfectionist and I'm in a hurry to fix this Republic; and it is one sick Republic. Politics is no place for me since I come out with guns blazing. There are some serious faults that need correcting. Why can't we voice concerns without the 'bots going balistic?
