HELL YEAH! That's what a lot of people who were sent on unrequested vacation have been trying to say. They just differ in the methodology for getting there.
RINOS vote and I am grateful they vote GOP.
Your optimism is touching, even reassuring, but it would be even more encouraging and more credible if you are willing to match it with action. You have been repeatedly asked to lead a debate to improve a proposed plan to restore the Constitution or put forward a better one with an even greater chance to restore the Constitution. So far, you have not only completely ignored these requests, but you also have done so without any explanation of why you are apparently not willing to consider it. One begins to wonder whether your committment to restoring the Constitution has been replaced by a committment to keep the Republicans in power even at the expense of the continued growth of government and the continued expansion of socialism.
Have you forgotten that the growth of government is at the expense of our freedoms? When Ronald Reagan picked up the torch of freedom in 1964 with these words, "We have come to a time for choosing; we will preserve for our children this the last best hope for man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.....history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening," he wasn't concerned about enemies abroad, terrorists, or illegal immigrants. He knew that the greatest threat faced by any people who desire freedom is their own government and the people within it who hold the levers of power. Yes, to a degree it does matter which party controls the agenda as it has an effect on the shape of a bill or when it will reach the floor for a vote, but when the vote actually takes place, it is not which party that casts the vote that matters, it is only the vote itself. It doesn't matter whether it was a Democrat or a Republican who cast a vote to expand government or to increase socialism. The results are the same. The current Republican President and "our" Republican controlled Congress worked together to pass the largest expansion in socialism in forty years and they did it over opposition from the rank and file of their own party.
Look at the plan Jim. It is specifically targeted, first at RINOs and then at Democrats. It is designed specifically to move both parties to the right a little bit in each and every successive election. This is a plan that can rapidly develop momentum and begin to achieve more of its goals in every subsequent election. It is not about turning power over to the Democrats so Americans can hopefully see how bad they really are. After the Senate impeachment trial fiasco and Newt's departure, "Republican leadership" has been an oxymoron. Republicans are simply going with the political flow. In complete contrast, this is a plan designed to lead the country back to its Constitutional roots at every level.
In his 1964 speech, President Reagan repeated Plutarch's warning, "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits." The distilled wisdom of the wise men from more than two thousand years of history is that all democracies end in bankruptcy or hyperinflation whenever the public learns to vote itself benefits. Gokhale and Smetters have provided ample evidence that this is the fate of the United States unless we quickly abandon socialism. History says that only a couple of governments have survived sovereign default. With fiat currencies, sovereign default is not a consideration. Not one has ever survived hyperinflation. George W. Bush is the forty-third President of the United States. Barring death or assassination, Gokhale's and Smetter's projections tell us there may not be a forty-sixth.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the immortal words of Ronald Reagan speaking to you Jim.
