I agree with your entire observation and premise. I used to think a nuke dropped on DC was the worst imaginable thing.

Now, I only wish it could happen during a budget showdown or an election recount crisis so it can kill as many career DC pols and staffers on both sides of the aisle as possible.

It pains me to say that. Adams was right though - once you lose freedoms, they don’t return.

Damn, they let liberal friends-of-Democrats post on Free Republic?

The “establishment” candidates may have won—but they did so by becoming increasingly conservative.

Just like they always do... and in the general, they go back Left-wards... and in office, they continue to do nothing to advance the cause of small, limited government. TEA party, and the USA, loses again. :(
