ACTION

I hope you are right about Romney/Ryan. Perhaps I am more cynical. I am a student of human nature. Once Romney gets the essentially unlimited power of the presidency, there is nothing to stop him from his own brand of big government and spend, spend, spend. We are no longer a nation of laws but a nation of executive orders (ie: dictatorship). It is terrifying that the Constitution and government/civics classes are no longer taught in schools (for the most part). The problem here is not the crooked politicians but the fact that the electorate is uninformed and ignorant of how things are supposed to work. Worse, they no longer take their sovereignity seriously. We are the rulers by God, not the federal government! After the revolutionary war the heirarchy was deemed to be:

            God

            The People

            The Sovereign States

            The Limited Federal Government

Now the heirarchy is:

            The Federal Government

            Everything and everyone else.

God and the people are not a factor except as a source of production and money.

I suspect the Romney will be more of the same. More benign perhaps but still a gentle despot who is primarily looking out for his own interests. He is a politician, he can do nothing else. I am reminded of the story of the frog and the scorpion.

This is probably all a moot discussion. I look for Obama to anull the elections, or declare a national emergency and set aside the Constitution and Congress, or perhaps just simply declare himself President for Life. He is capable of anything. He has proven that he considers himself above that pesky Constitution and the common law.
