3) the justice system actually punishes people
4) a TIGHTLY controlled border and deportation of all illegal aliens (must do it the right way)
5) no more aberrant freak agendas shoved down our throats as mainstream, stay in the closet
6) a welfare system that is a security net, not a hammock to lay in for life
7) if we absolutely HAVE to go to war we crush the enemy and leave them in ruins, no more "nation building"
8) this country comes first, and all foreign aid is used as leverage (do what we want or you don't get shit)
9) fair, transparent, and unquestionable elections
I think we can come up with LOTS of corrections. The problem as I see it is based upon majority opinion of this country we cannot vote ourselves to that conclusion and I doubt very much we can shoot our way to something better.
I think we could start a shooting war if we wanted, lots of discontent out there. But we can't even get GOP candidates that we like, who do you think is gonna be your leader in any civil war 2.0? And if by some miracle you actually get a genuine move back to constitutional reformations it will get hijacked by the equivalent of 4chan, Anon, etc. into something you'd never support so fast it would amaze you.
I wish I could see a clear and concise "solution", but I don't. In 1776 we were breaking away from a monarchy, that one I understand. There was a clear problem, a defined objective and a stated solution. If a civil war broke out this week, I probably wouldn't even know which side to shoot at. So until I see a group that I'd be willing to put in power by force, I'll confine myself to just shooting the bad people who find their way into my defensive bubble.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
