As much as I would love to have Fred as President, I believe that he is going to decide not to run. Why? Because he knows that there is no way in hell his belief in a Federalist system will be adopted by those already in power. The Dems sure won't go along with it, and the GOP has shown they are just about as addicted to the power game as the Dems. There just aren't enough people left with the belief in limited government to make it work, I'm afraid.

Hayek wrote that the founders were wrong in believing that the constitution would suffice in protecting our freedoms. However our weakness in permitting it to be violated so long as it furthered what we believed to be "good" is what brought us to this point.

There is no doubt that the American citizen has trusted their government to the point of betrayl and failure to function as a government “for and by the people”. One has only to look at Washington’s performance at any given day and there is no doubt.

America does not have a government...the government has an American that works for it...

he won't do that now... it's too late for him not to run... he would not have let it go this far... he would just be a huge disappointment... and would look very silly... he's going to run...
