ParticipantIt’s pretty clear the Constitution is out the window when we’re discussing cutting things that are in the Constitution in favour of things which are not. And nary a concern that there is no longer a valid and observed compact setting forth the terms by which the people agree to be governed — or what that means.

Out on a date in the area (years ago) and we hit La Posta after drinks at some dive (probably the Lamplighter) and the gal I’m with starts getting into a discussion with a gay guy about gay pride parades. She says “so being gay is just your sexual preference?” “That’s right” he responds. “And a gay pride parade is just a celebration of that preference?” “That’s right!” he exclaimed. “So,” she concluded with, “why aren’t they holding doggie-style parades for people like me?”
Good times…

ParticipantI think those idiot Republicans are almost as keen on violating the Constitution as the Democrats. The Republican argument often strikes me as “we’ll sure we’re going to support programs not authorized by Constitution and spend money like crazy, but we’re going to spend it more smartly and on better programs than those darn Democrats.”
It’s almost as if they want to lose in the next election. If Obama winning showed us anything is that a lot of people won’t bother to vote if the choice is between a Democrat and a Democrat-lite. And why bother to vote for the lite-beer version when you can get the real thing?
I really feel like there is no classically liberal — or so-called conservative — party. We are trending towards a hard-line communist/socialist Democrat party and a Euro-style socialist Republican party. I couldn’t stand George Bush because he was rather far to the left of Bill Clinton. That is, if you look beyond the rhetoric to the policies.
I wish members of the Republican establishment would simply ask themselves if they are willing to dedicate their service to restoring a small government constitutional republic. And if they are not, they should promptly join the Democrat party and make way for an originalist, or at least Reagan conservative, movement to take over the Republican party.
I’m sick and tired of Republicans talking a good game when running for office, yet always going along with the creeping incrementalism that keeps the lefty agenda always moving forward.
Doesn’t anyone ever notice that, as a loose example to highlight my point, that it is always the left wanting to double the size of the Department of Education, and the “compromise” everyone in the media cajoles the right into accepting is to only increase it by 50%. We never hear about a movement to eliminate the Department of Education by Republicans who swore to uphold the Constitution and the media pressuring the left to compromise by only eliminating half of it.
That is they dynamic that has been at work for years and, I believe, is a prime motivator behind the tea party phenomena even though it has not yet been clearly articulated.
