I am surprised the earth over their graves doesn't look rototilled the way they must be doing cartwheels...
In today's political climate, they would be branded "haters", "kooks", and "right winged extremists", be besieged by the BATFE/FBI/IRS, and half the rest of the alphabet, and derided, even by alleged Conservatives on internet forums.
Why?
Consider the response to anyone who would propose a return to the Gold and Silver standard, slashing the size of the federal government, a vast reduction in military posture abroad, the securing of the borders, removal of invaders--by force if necessary, the reinstatement of the death penalty including public hangings, advocate privately owned artillery and armed vessels, an end to abortion... the list goes on forever...
Yet most people rationalize it because they can't seem to see past their pet issues like 'better schools', more police', etc.
They'd never admit what a dismal failure the schools are, or that police have become defacto military units and revenue collectors instead of doing the serving and protecting of our grandfather's generation.....JMHO
They also insist on taking all the issues separately, instead of connecting the dots and see how issues interconnect.
