The "political process" has brought the republic to the brink of destruction. Some solutions are not political in nature. Look at the basket case you live in Kalifornication. Your vote means nothing there and you are just a pathetic pimple here too.
and a weak central government,
What you are saying is that you don't believe in the republic as founded by the original signers of the Constitution. You know what, screw that. Go back to your whine and cheese party and come back when you get a clue.
Bravo. You are correct. Some people do not have a clue.
Tell it, brother!
I’d rather be a small pimple than a huge festering boil like you vag. Don’t you have some homophobia to go work out?
California’s going to have to go bankrupt and shed its union benefits liabilities before anything gets better.
I’m all for federalism, but the structure of government has to change to accmoodate new realities. I guess i’m a Burkean conservative in that respect - change is inevitable, and it should be done as cautiously, slowly and unwillingly as possible, with an eye towards keeping what’s best of existing traditions.
As to the central government point - this is a question as to which much ink has been spilled. I don’t think the constitution contemplated secession. I’m sure I don’t have the exact understanding of “the founders” - but given that the founders were riven between federalists and anti-federalists, i’m not sure what understanding you are referring to. For example, looking at what had happened elsewhere, the founding fathers realized the political problems posed by a standing army outside of wartime. The constitutional requirement to re-appropriate funds every two years was initially thought of as a stumbling block for us turning into something like Napoleonic France. I can’t imagine us winning the cold war if we were to have disbanded our standing army ~23 times between 1946 and 1992.
