There really aren't any more meaningful checks and balances, genuine opposition in U.S. politics. It has come to a point it matters not one jot who comes to power.Genhttp://barefootblogger.siterubix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-68235373630847177422012-06-27T18:52:09.982-07:002012-06-27T18:52:09.982-07:00They are pushing this "support for a CONSTITU...They are pushing this "support for a CONSTITUTIONAL war" because a constitutional war will not have the political backlash that the political wars we have now, have created.<br /><br />I'm telling you, Ron Paul all the way, but if the Congress does declare a war, we will go balls to the wall winning it. Whether it is Iran or Russia, all of the military will be supported, all tactics, all weapons...<br /><br />A constitutional war is a door for a much greater magnitude of warfare.

I believe that those in charge of the Republican Party and even those with more elite power might be making room for Rand because they see some form of this worldview is necessary if the current system is to survive (or if they want to have a somewhat smooth transition to whatever they desire as next).<br /><br />Second, Reagan was urged to sellout on March 30, 1981 (although I do not sense Reagan had as well-developed and internalized of a world-view as Rand seems to).<br /><br />If my first point is accurate, then the second point will be of no concern to Rand's physical well being. If it is not, Rand will never sniff the nomination in 2016 or thereafter.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-78910468612048637152012-06-24T06:05:56.621-07:002012-06-24T06:05:56.621-07:00Sure, but not to the extent he emulates Reagan'...Sure, but not to the extent he emulates Reagan's sellouts. Policy-wise Reagan stood to the left of JFK. While he uttered many a libertarian idea he failed at implementing them.McClarinJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237200661539297700noreply@blogger.com
