QOTD: "Obama is operating demonstrably outside of his Constitutional authority (cf., with regards to the Appointments Clause). Regulatory agencies have become a shadow legislature unanswerable to the people, with politicized bureaucratic appointees laying claim to civil service protections. And the Federal Reserve is actively devaluing the currency and manipulating interest rates in order to stave off an inevitable collapse.

Meanwhile, the national GOP has determined that the way forward is to adopt the left’s pandering and vote buying schemes — to adjust its rhetoric in order to “re-brand” itself as compassionately profligate at the very time it should be willing and able to stand up and tell the truth to the American people.

This is why I’ve said for years now that we have a de facto one party country, the rest being but Kabuki theater to keep the non-ruling class rubes who still believe they have a say in the trajectory of government riled up and committed to donating to a supposedly adversarial system. In truth, however, the GOP establishment is looking to defeat the Democrats only so that it can control the levers of power and influence and revenue — not to reestablish Constitutional government and individual or state sovereignty...

...The politicians and many in the political chattering classes don’t think this way: they either see the end coming, and are busy feathering their own nests before the collapse; or else they are but useful idiots playing party cheerleader in exchange for coinage, influence, and name recognition." --Jeff Goldstein, "State resistance to rogue post-constitutional federal government: the last best hope"

You are aware, aren't you, that the "Firefox is dead" article you linked to is a year old?

Or did you dredge it up to prove it wrong?

That Special Forces letter on JPFO had me fired up until they cited Antonin Scalia thusly: "Justice Scalia went on to define a militia as '... comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense ....'"

This is misogynistic and paternalistic to a stunning degree. Are these fools still stuck on "barefoot and pregnant"?

It would've been a great post without that crap.

Needless to say, I won't be bookmarking JPFO.

Thanks, though, for all the work you put into this. I'm sure you don't support this idea and this one just slipped by.
