My favorite quote:
The Founders wanted government to be small, responsive to the people and
attentive to their hunger for liberty. They did not conceive the unresponsive
monstrosity we now have (the reason for so much anger at many town hall
meetings), that is unproductive (waste, fraud and abuse) and unattractive
(politicians who are careerists rather than true servants of the people). It is
a bipartisan affliction as we saw when Republicans controlled all three branches
of government and too many appeared to be out for themselves rather than the
public interest.
Soon it will be up to the Republican Party to capitalize on the Democrats' own failure--much like they did successfully in 1996.

The constitutional republic needs to be restored and "Socialist Democratic" policies or Republican myopia both need to be shunned. Every member of Congress needs to have a copy of the Tenth Amendment on their desk and in the forefront of their thinking as they serve We The People (not some lobbyist or NGO). Oaths matter and holding individuals accountable for upholding the Constitution should be not a quaint nicety but a daily duty for each and every citizen. And not the Constitution as "interpreted" by the Courts but the actual Constitution through an
originalist/literalist reading.
Long ago (1770s) tea was thrown into a harbor and officials who abused their position were tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail. Read the Declaration of Independence. Think like a Founder Father. The time soon may well be at hand when we will need to "pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. . ."
