Yes, that's pretty clear, sort of in the 'news flash- water is wet'
category. Is there any reason why you are so didactically pointing
out that particular bit of undisputed information at this point?

Naw. I'm an old-fashioned Goldwater Republican who actually thinks
that big government has too much power (and it gains more every
minute) and that the people don't have *enough* to counterbalance it.

If that means allying with liberals in common cause on some points,
then hoo-ray for left-right alliances.

I wish. Either side trying to pretend that *everything* the loyal
opposition proposes must needs be either utter betrayal or a sign of
the coming apoclaypse is both stupid and -eventually- suicidal.

See California's grid-locked state government for an example of what
the Federal government is heading towards.

Uh, perhaps you missed the part where I pointed out that it's the
*courts* which make such judgements? ( You somehow seem to have got
the notion that I said "Saddlebag" makes those decisions, and, thank
Ghu, you don't. )

In fact, The Supremes have recently opined that Americans *do* have a
right to protect themselves with firearms, and that decision had zilch
to do with a militia.

Some might say that they need the help of an enlightened government to
help them see things properly....

Certainly.

Many folks seem to think that the ACLU's having an opinion equates to
an ability to make Law.
