America's democracy is incredibly sturdy, the people embrace freedom and their state as a core value of Americanism, and there is no international storm brewing. Thank Heavens, because other than that, I sometimes feel like reading extracts directly from Spain, 1935. Lunatuc fringes screaming so loud and intermittently, that the centre gets crushed.

Call me postmodern, but I'm with Sasaki. His take on the RNC is spot on.

(But then it should be recalled that I am an Old World aristocrat, steeped in the belief that the peasantry need not be heeded all that much, and thusly my opinions on your brave New World are entirely irrelevant

).

Pah! Admit it...deep down inside, you are a revolutionary.

Reactionary aristocracism is for trade anyway, for those parvenus without the assured calmness of mind that security of position through anciennity brings.

La Fayette you'd be to America.

No prob. Thanks for the response to my response.

We live in the most powerful nation on earth. The most power hungry people on earth come here to gain the pinnacle prize. Would you expect civility? We arn't some backwater like we were in the 1800's. Jerks arn't playing for peanuts and small fries like they are in the various European countries. We get the real baddies angling for power here.

There will be blood in the streets again, you can almost guarantee it. We are animals after all and we love war.

There is quite a bit to Ron Paul's vision for America - a smaller, state centered power net merely protected by a federalized system from external threats. That's a new concept. You want a more stable United States with less global dominance? Encourage us to get back to our roots.
