Rome wasn't destroyed in a day or even a night. It took some time. I keep seeing references to how Rome wasn't built in a day as if that is some sort of profound statement but by the same token it wasn't really destroyed either. Sure the Republic was swept away by the Empire and then the Empire overrun by the Visigoths and then there are the usual pedants who point out that you can hike, bus, ride, drive or fly to Rome if you have the time, the money and the inclination.
I think what many of us would like to see is a sort of new Hercules carry out some of the labors needed in any Republic after a hundred years of sin and depravity has weakened both the civil and cultural fabric of the country. We are resigned to not getting it since there are always the dabbers who don't want to go too far or rush the fences or get their feet wet.... you know the type. They will timidly vote with their democratic counterparts to hold the line against change that would see the revitalization of the Republic and boldly pat themselves on the back for their wisdom and sanctity. I hate them already.
On the gripping hand, the point of the exercise was to maintain a balance. With the pending death of the main stream media in both print and over the public airwaves we will probably win some more seats in the next election when the dabblers and outright lying scumbags are turfed out. They are losing the marginal voters because there are fewer and fewer people too stupid to puzzle out who the grifters and thieves are that are controlling the government and high public offices.
Maybe next year. After all, I'm still waiting for the drones to make their deadly appearance on our shores and the CIA is always up to no good and since the rest of the world is turning to shit right in front of our eyes they may be able to free up some of their MKUltra types and other ne'er-do-wells and turn them loose on solving the "American problem." You do know that those people at the highest levels in government, the military and industry see us as the 'American problem,' don't you?
