But seriously, if a president were elected...@Alan:<br /><br />But seriously, if a president were elected with the same agenda as you propose, and was backed 100% by a Tea Party Congress and Supreme Court, it would be tantamount to a Second American Revolution.<br /><br />Furthermore, as no ruling in history has went quietly into the night, I'd say the USA would face a rebellion at least from the formerly tenured for life federal bureaucrats, politicians and their union thug allies.<br /><br />Did I mention race riots? This country could see urban violence on the scale of the late 1960s and early 70s when the welfare checks end and the Left pulls out all stops on the radicalization of a very irrational, emotional and largely racist part of our population - unemployed black urban males.<br /><br />I'm afraid Uncle Sam has painted himself into the corner this time and there are no easy options for recovery except the hard cutting back of the federal government that you outline in your article.<br /><br />The problem is that the cure for the disease of socialism will make the patient very sick for at least ten years - maybe even civil war sick; however, without this much needed radical surgery the patient is as dead as the old Soviet Union.<br /><br />"I say we go with the radical surgery, Dr. Kildare!"Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-60230960929206972832011-06-14T06:42:15.833-07:002011-06-14T06:42:15.833-07:00My guess is your first three words in office would...My guess is your first three words in office would not constitute a lie.

A regular reminder of the President that "well, this does not belong to my constitutional compentencies so I'm not doing anything" would be welcome too. :-)<br />EddyEddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475574775004470864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-32520075215009271092011-06-14T02:45:14.946-07:002011-06-14T02:45:14.946-07:00Dear President Caruba:

They are also bio-degradable and "earth friendly".<br /><br />Another suggestion: Rather than going through the bother of drawing and quartering them, it would be much more cost effective if the traitors were simply impaled, and afterward used to decorate the White House lawn.Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066767342077807833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-84542414911479169332011-06-13T22:15:27.379-07:002011-06-13T22:15:27.379-07:00President Caruba, I would be most honored if your ...President Caruba, I would be most honored if your administration would consider my application for the exalted position of Lord High Executioner.<br /><br />My qualifications, sir:<br /><br />I've got a little list of society offenders who might well be underground - and who never would be missed - never would be missed!Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066767342077807833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-15767001949010380842011-06-13T18:45:30.297-07:002011-06-13T18:45:30.297-07:00@Ronbo.
