The fact that the political system of the United States of America is irreparably broken doesn't magically change that. Just because it would be incredibly useful for the hair on the nape of your neck to turn into Kevlar when you are about to be guillotined, that doesn't mean it will. There is, in fact, a good reason to apply the term "incredible" to such a convenient event.<br /><br />You are, I think, sufficiently well read on the Founding Father's statements about what is necessary to preserve liberty from one generation to another. The statements are generally too colorful and exciting to be truly boring even if listed in full, but I don't feel the need to do so.<br /><br />Basically, the founders of America understood the limitations of politics...and politicians. They knew what liberty cost, and where to look for those willing to pay the price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763883859696167228.post-88886542602385633202009-09-20T11:46:26.759-05:002009-09-20T11:46:26.759-05:00I want to include in my statements in the entry al...I want to include in my statements in the entry also State Republicans. Let's be real honest here -- you're all a bunch of liberal destructionists. Taken as a whole you're dangerous; taken as a part (state and local Republicans) you're <i>more</i> dangerous. But in any event you're enemies to me, the constitution I'm sworn to protect and defend against enemies foreign and domestic, and the form of government it establishes.Terry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166609562028309038noreply@blogger.com
