I think that by November the 10th Amendment will be the defining issue in the 2010 election. The tea party movement is great, people getting politically active and involved is great, but they are targets, and will be continually bashed by the left. The Constitution is much harder to demonize and distort, even for those who try to distort it on a daily basis.

I agree with your "voting test" idea. I've thought that for years. I completely disagree with the 'get out the vote' slogans we hear every election year. Do NOT make it EASIER for people to vote – make it harder!

My idea is to have a simple question next to each item/position to be voted on. If you answer correctly, your vote counts. If not, it doesn't.

For example, say you're voting for President of the US. The question might be:

"The term of office for President is:
a) 2 years
b) 4 years
c) 6 years
d) lifetime"

I don't care if you print it in Spanish and Braille and if you need readers there to read it to the illiterate. I also don't care if you have a 'cheat sheet' with you. I just want you to KNOW SOMETHING!

If you don't know the difference between the federal government and the state government, if you don't know the difference between the federal debt and the deficit, if you don't know there are 3 branches of government, etc., etc., etc., DO NOT VOTE. Your opinion is not valuable.

I'm sure the liberals/progressives would immediately sue under the old 'poll tax' idea that this is somehow discriminating against some protected class of people such as stupid people.

America has become too democratic and, as a result, our leaders reflect us too much. The last election was more like an American Idol contest for the next rock star than selecting a wise statesman leader of the most powerful nation on the planet.

We get what we deserve and we are clearly responsible for it.

The "government" doesn't exist in the real world. It's a concept. Government is just a group of people and we elect the leaders of government. In the end, it's our fault and it's our right to fix it!

Regarding your below post as well, going Galt may sound good – if you can convince all your neighbors to kick into the sit-down drag-out party… Otherwise, the Feds WILL simply do what they do best: pick us off one at a time, arrest and incarcerate, try and convict without trial, now thanks to Obama extending the Patriot Act for another year (HE LIES!). Remember Waco? Ruby Ridge? Wounded Knee (in the 1800's)? Feds will just use the military illegally against us when sheriffs and local cops refuse to stifle us. Hell, Janet Rhino even brought in French spy planes to fly above Mt. Carmel site – all because a freedom-loving group thought it best to fight back against despotic behavior. And even though Koresh and friends were surrounded and out-gunned, the FBI cried to Mommy "We're under siege!" Well, to use a line from one of THEIR favorite songsters: "The times they are a-changin'"… HANG ONTO your hats, keep your powder dry, and aim for their blood-thirsty eyes "when they come for you…"

Not only are GHOST DANSING'S arguments not persuasive, they are empty of substance, as you showed.
CONSERVATIVE means conserving or preserving the best of our cultures and the most freedom [rights] for each of us in as localized powers as we can, protected from distant "kings and queen" like those now entrenched in Washington DC – these goals were what the Ninth and Tenth amendments attempted to do. For some reason, those insulting advocates of tyranny are stuck on stupid in smoky haze who never learned to get along with those of us who did not do drugs and sex with them 'in the old days'. LIBERAL should mean spreading freedom as far as possible to those who adhere to civil rules of discourse and behavior. Again, those stuck on stupid never learned to play fair with others, always demanding to change rules if they were losing an argument or a game. Unfortunately, those who support the unlimited power to legislate in the out-of-touch Congress, whose unconstitutional abdication made up "legislative" powers for presidents, are the first ones to squeal like stuck pigs when some toy they want or event doesn't go their way. Sad sad sad.

Do I smell a horde of Gov't trolls on this discussion. All trolls should be heartily ignored.

The feds will then have two choices: take out their guns, or back off. Pelosi has said she's willing to sacrifice the Democratic majority in Congress to get the health care or health insurance bill passed, she and Obama and Reid are willing to impose brand-name socialism on the U.S. regardless of the cost. They're in it for the malice they hold for this country, and for the credit of knocking us down in the eyes of Howard Zinn-species historians. Well, we patriots have a few tricks up our sleeves, too. Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, et al., can't live without slaves; but we, the people, can live without their likes. That's what we must show them. In the meantime, the Tenth Amendment should be readied for combat.
