It is for a reason of which you may be aware due to our many discussions. I'm referring to a fundamental aspect of conservatism that may have driven you to the Libertarian Party before it became a den overrun with unconscionable dopes. <br /><br />At this late stage of our republic's devolution, it may be too late to recognize why conservatism fails. Maybe by laying it out for the record might be useful to some future rebels as to whom they can trust.<br /><br />I assert that Conservatism has made no headway in breaking down the bureaucracy for one very obvious (heh!) reason. I'll award $50 to the first person who gathers the evidence and delivers the overdue indictment.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-75047573361551797112016-11-07T09:06:20.174-05:002016-11-07T09:06:20.174-05:00How to get those resignations.

Should this ever be exceeded all elected Federal officials would be ejected and the top 10% of any Federal employeees immediately dismissed and not replaced for five years.<br /><br />But power comes from doling out money and appointments.
