The key is the judiciary.

I agree wholeheartedly. It shouldn't have come to this, however, that Judges are being allowed to legislate from the Bench. Article III, Sections 1 and 2 of the United States Constitution clearly provide balancing measures for an out-of-control judiciary, namely, "The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour," and are subject to "such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."

Congress ought not to have gone to the steps of the Capital to recite the Pledge of Allegiance with the outlawed words "under God," when the Ninth Circuit suddenly found them in the Pledge and suddenly found them unconstitutional, but ought to have called a special session right then and there to oust those leftist fools on the Ninth Circuit Court. The same ought to have been done by the Republican-majority House voted into the Vermont legislature after the 2000 election, because of the VT Supreme Court's DEMAND that our legislature make laws to enable sodomites to marry. Those Justices who found the non-existent "Right to Privacy" in Roe v. Wade out to have been canned, too.

If Congress had been policing the Judiciary as they are required by the Constitution to do we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. I submit that we don't have to wait the years (and perhaps decades) it will take to replace dying and retiring leftist-agenda judges with Conservative ones. Why won't Congress call their 'behaviour' exactly what it is - diametrically opposed to 'good,' and do their duty by the American people as clearly written in the Constitution, which they are sworn to uphold?

I lived on the Fenway during the bussing riots. No one was served by bussing, except the socialists who would destroy us.

I was in Boston at that time. It seemed that the people who were most fed up with the busing mess were those whose children were taken out of schools in their community and sent across the city for their educations. The Italians in North Boston and the Blacks in Roxbury were particularly impacted. There was a lot of talk back then that if the money had been spent on improving education instead of busing, the schools could've been improved.

This was a factor in the downfall of a lot of communities, such as Mattapan. Without the community touch (and isolation) the violence just about toppled some of the schools and brought in violence from other parts of the city.

...Top Democrat party operatives met a week after the GOP’s victorious Nov. 5 election and decided on a strategy of intimidation and attack, attack, attack...

It is time to once and all defund the left. Why should my tax dollars go to people who want to destoy everything that is sacred?

Begin of course with PBS. When they are not promoting treason or endlessly praising Castro, they do things like run slick Muslim propaganda, in your face during Christmas week.

Defunding the left also includes, IMHO, tort reform. The lawyer industry is not only exploitative and utterly corrupt, it is of course the largest single source of revenue to the DNC.
