Ummm... I guess you mean “go Trump,” right?

Look, man. I see your point but the “institution” is We The People, and there are still a LOT of us fighting for our country and for Constitutional values... And for each other.

Don’t throw it away.

And... No, Desert Storm and OIF were not “for oil,” and no Freeper would ever have said that ten years ago without being laughed off a forum.

Well, that’s true. They weren’t “for oil” since we didn’t get any oil. They were for propping up corrupt regimes that sell us oil because we wouldn’t drill for our own oil.

Somehow that doesn’t really sound better. I’d rather invade countries for the good old reasons: land and loot. Instead, we waste money and lives on democracy building as our own Republic circles the drain.

We The People are a shrinking minority in this country. Look, our Constitution is powerless in a Welfare State because people will vote away freedom for free stuff. The Welfare State will only grow as long as the Labor Participation Rate is low and Part Time Labor Rate is high (forget the useless Unemployment Rate). We The People need good, secure jobs before they can worry about concepts that are almost abstract like maximizing “Constitutional values”. When we look out for each other, we need to look out for everyone or the polarization of society will continue to grow.
