152. The tyranny of the majority always has to be counterbalanced by the voice of the minority.

As much as some of the more authoritarians types get on my nerves, they do vote the same way I do and after giving it some more thought...wanting them shit-canned from this site makes me no better then those that want to make lists of people not welcomed here.

They can't all be government agents Manny, some have to be real people that (for whatever reason) are sincere in how they feel about politics. Maybe their parents brought them up to love God and Country - they vote for the person I vote for at the end of the day. That is important to me.

I think it boils down to people here know (they can read) Congress is Kabuki theater and to keep from drinking at night (every fucking night), they still envision the WH as a core unit of moral value...even with the obvious NSA spying going on up every pipe in every sewer on the planet. People need structure and authoritarians need it most.

Give them something, the SCOTUS is all bought and paid for, Congress couldn't run a small business to save their lives. The M$M is a farce of nature...nothing of value there for the average moderate. The actual structure of government breaking down probably frightens them on some level.

Some of them are good people, the ones using half truths and falsehoods...yeah everyone sees that. Haven't you noticed who gets replies and recs and who doesn't? Still to have a healthy forum, you need the vocal minority. Even on this issue.

You want enough? Sorry, but the vocal minority on any issue is here to stay and you know it.
