muscular and intelligent conservative as president and so forth cannot really reverse the trajectory of the nation for the past 100 years, and that we the people have to take matters, constituti constitutionally and civilly, into our own hands under the constitution. it seems there s got to be a revitalization here. you are raising a lot of good points and i think their unwillingness to fight on obama care is just a symptom of a larger problem what are they willing to fight on in anything? just name one thing. but the point i m trying to make here, it seems to be for america, and you point out that we now have unfunded liabilit s liabilities, record debt deficits to the tune of $90 trillion, so, the question is, are we going to have people that are going to fight, really change the system to limited government, or the next republican president just manages the decline and it just takes a little longer to get there? i m afraid at this point, we have these respites, you know, w
