It will be like 1791 again once all the "new, good, progressive ideas" run their course.

New progressive ideas like abolishing slavery? Or women's suffrage? Or a a common currency? Or military strength? Or interstate highways? Or leadership in world affairs?

If it's the aspiration of most Reps to return America to 1791, I can see why dead people might be inclined to vote against it.

There needs to be a balance somewhere between 1791 and 2014 or we will be forced to return to a 1791 size federal government and states calling their own shots. (we won't re-enact slavery, or tear up the interstates... lol).

Evil is only temporary. Good will win in the end. Americans will again embrace small government after the collapse.

I hope this isn't the kind of small government Republicans have in mind :

Not many Republicans have small government in mind.

Because the idea of small government trumpeted by the right is as bad as the big government of the left.


In reality, they're both for big government having an outsized control of your everyday life.

I don't think it's "as bad." Obama is now trying to make Congress irrelevant (to the cheers of his crowds) and pushing us towards the path of dictatorship. Someone needs to make executive orders unconstitutional before this gets ugly. Bush was bad, Obama worse, what's next?
