The results are plain to see - the resurgence of fundamental religion, the triumphs of faith over reason and logic, the election and reelection of politicians like Bush, and the popularity of racing things like lawn mowers, stock cars and sail boats One major problem with your analysis, Vito. The folks in that hump on the low side of the IQ curve vote overwhelmingly Democrat. Why shouldn't they vote Democrat? It's the party of handouts and when the government has the power to rob Peter to pay Paul you can always count on Paul's vote. Enforce the Constitution. Get the Federal Government out of schools, healthcare, housing, the workplace, the bedroom, the library, etc. "I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is "needed" before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' "interests", I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can. " Amen! |
