The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy.
– Carrol Quigley
I’m not sure if this was Dr. Quigley’s opinion or merely his observation, but he hit the nail on the head.
I often wonder if we wouldn’t be better off with a parliamentary system with several parties, each with only one or two specific issues as their platform. After the people elect these parties, presumably in proportion to their popularity, they would have to fight amongst themselves to form a ruling coalition. I know what I’m describing is basically Euro-democracy but our current system doesn’t seem any better. Just a thought!

Judge, I said if this passes, there will be a civil war. My wife said no. I think she thought I was going to start it.

I sent a note to my thoroughly forgettable representative, Anna Eshoo, informing her that she had no right to dictate what doctor I could see, what procedures were available to me, or what my provider could charge for his services.

The woman has already declared that she thinks a single-payer plan is just peachy. No doubt, somewhere in that 1990 page monstrosity it exempts Ms. Eshoo from consequences of the disaster that awaits us. How convenient for her.

My “representative” is an elitist snob and a raging hypocrite. Boy, how I love democracy!

It’s heartening to hear Napolitano echo John Adam’s “A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

In addition to the likes of Congressman James Clyburn and blatant disregard of the Constitution there is Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) and blatant stupidity. The dimmest bulb, perhaps, to ever sit in the Senate believes the Constitution authorizes the federal government “to provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country.”

It is the consequence of time, I suppose, that all things balance out in the end. To this end, as counterbalance to the Founding Fathers we have Demolitionists And Liquidators.
