The Republican and Democrats have approximately thirty-five percent of the electorate each. That leaves thirty percent of us to actually make a difference. Not the best of odds, but we can find the right candidates to swing half of the Democrats and half of the Republicans, we got the vote. I don’t think I need to say what the problem is, do I?

I have been sick of the Democrat party since I was a kid in the 1950’s. But I was a dupe who thought the Republicans were actually something. Of course we now know what a farce that thought is. Maybe some individuals can fight the Republican power structure while battling the Democrats, the media and the great unwashed sea of uninformed voters and actually do something positive for the country. Maybe.

The Republican and Democrat Parties are united in a self-serving misinformation campaign to convince the American people that the debt and the deficit threaten imminent economic, political, and social collapse. The intent is to direct public attention away from the real threat: The completely unconstitutional exponential growth of Federal spending and power. The debt and the deficit resulting from that growth are merely symptoms, not the cause.

Balancing the budget and eliminating the deficit will not resolve the existential threat to peace and freedom that the monstrous central governing apparatus has become. Both wings of the Welfare/Warfare State’s Washington Party are acting as though the solution can be obtained by acceding to the policy preferences of their respective constituencies. This is insanity. It is a mathematical and demographic certainty that the Welfare/Warfare State is going away. All that is uncertain is whether its passing will occur violently or peacefully.

Richardson’s article is not bad for a statist but the lines about strong central government making us GREAT also made me wince. America’s greatest growth was in the 1781- 1913 period before the income tax and the federal government was miniscule compared to today’s Leviathan. The middle class was not nourished by the welfare state – it is, in fact, the other way around.

As to the world-historic power – the fact that the US can take out all these gigantic SA-5’s of Thug Khadaffi half a planet away may be impressive (and his big missiles on parade were mostly to impress the ignoramus tribesment in Libya than that they could do anything) but it does not make us great. On the contrary, it is a leech sucking us dry.

Yes, we can now have a President press buttons on his lounge chair to send drones over to drop bombs anywhere on Earth while our streets rot with potholes and our children grow stupid and our savings atrophy. Hallelujah for Predator Drones!

When I listen to Rep. Paul talk I realize just how phony the vast majority of Republicans are. It’s sad and pathetic that the American people will never elect a person like him as President. For some reason he is considered a nut. Actually, the others are the nuts and he is the sane one. I was listening to Michael Medved for a few minutes on Friday and he said “the Libertarians have planted their retarded Libertarian flag in the Republican Party”. He was referring to former Governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson, who announced that he is running for the presidency on the Republican ticket.
