It's a ludicrous assertion that Thomas Jefferson or Patrick Henry could have just dropped by the local polling station to vote for independence, eh?

And that is Clair Wolfe's point. We can't drop by the local polling station to vote for independence either. Our choices are Socialist(D) and Socialist(R). She's not advocating violence - yet.

So, you come to FR to complain about socialism, but you're not going to help us do anything about it? We need to dump the Democrats and retake control of the Senate, otherwise, it's gonna be a solid curtain of liberal activist judges pushing their socialist agenda on all of us for the next 40 years. Thanks a lot.

That 99.5% of the voters reject their ideology is no indictment against the enfranchisement of the public, but against their ideology. Anyone who claims it's too late to work from within the system has no business calling themselves conservatives, period. And I would like to know what business anyone has at FreeRepublic who believes that voting is passe. There are militia nutcase websites they could go haunt instead.
