The founding fathers didn't leave us a "Flush Lever". We could sure use a legislative tool or initiative tool now.
However, they DID leave us a failsafe, but it's not a flush lever...it's more like a 10 lb sledge you would use to bust the whole toilet off it's mount.
So far we still have the Second Amendment.
Yes they did.
Several, including Jefferson were very blunt in stating that that was the intent of the 2nd Amendment.
I was rather blunt with some fellows on another board about being 2nd Amendment activists and electing Democrats but I did say "If you must vote Dem get some pro-gun guys on the ballot." Or something along those lines. We need to get better candidates into the Primary and support them during the campaign. The Left does it all the time with "volunteers" (people on the .gov teet) as a group we are not as active as they are. BUT we are getting more involved and we can change the balance of power.
What we need to do is quit trying to appeal to intelligent, sensible , honorable people.
They will for for good candidates any way.
We need to use the dems own tactics to convince the incompetent assholes and leeches that if they don't vote for our guy the liberals will steal their children to make Soylent green.
