The reason that the GOP, Gods Own Party, is out of control, is that people like you, not directed at you, let it get that way. If we, as Republicans, would get off our A$$es (Asses) and fight rather than whine, we would have been the majority party since that scumbag McGovern.
Who is at fault, me, you, and every small government type that sat on their A$$, Ass, since Goldwater. Don't give me the self indulgent Libertarian Whine, I like to smoke dope and that is Freedom, you haven't enough votes to raise an erection, come inside and make a difference.
Do not give me the age thing I am 58, argue issues not age. Your mother and father sold you, as did mine, in to slavery for an easy retirement, my son and daughter is going to starve for you and Harry Browne, Not
Most of the "Changes" which limited our Freedom happened "in the murky corridors of the bureaocracy," NOT as a matter of "Public Debate."
Our Spineless "elected Representatives" acceeded to the "urgent Requests" of various agencies to "temporarily curtail our rights" in order to handle a Given Crisis.
Once Surrendered, our "Rights" are seldom--if ever--restored.
Given the enourmous "Logic Capabilities" of our Current Computers, I would VERY MUCH like a "SuperComputer" to be Programmed with our Constitution & Amendments, & THEN EVALUATE ALL "Laws, Rules, & Regulations" AT ALL LEVELS.
I BET our Lives would be Simpler & Freer.
BUT, I Suppose, Such a "Fantasy" CANNOT BE in our "Brave New World."
And we DO HAVE an obligation to our Nation, to our Progeny, & to Ourselves to steer our Nation as Close to It's Principles as is Practicable.
In Short, we "Vote for "W",--because his political opponent has promised to steer us furthur away from the "Central Ideas" of our Nation.
Until "Vin, et.al." can present us with a LEADER that our Nation will "Rally Around,"--Until we have a "John Galt;"--we must "settle for" those who would seem to do the "Least Damage."
America is Not in a "Revolutionary Mode."
So we "keep the fires burning" until "our Time Comes."
