you can't weed it out - it has metastasized - for some decades our gov't metamorphized into a defacto administrative State. Elected politicians put in place unconstitutionally supported "Bureaus and Departments" and appointed socialist minded people to run them. These unconstitutional departments are imbued with the full weight of the "law" and offending their policies is prosecutable.

@iThink So it's on auto-pilot all the way to the precipice?

@eschatologyguy
yes I think it is. At this point its a question of who is going to stand and fight and who will go gentle into that good night...with a nod to Dylan Thomas
Resistance is futile only if you are apathetic to your own existence. I always said that my hope would be to have a peaceful death - but in the context of the current political and social climate I am beginning to think more like a dedicated warrior - that dying in battle would be a righteous way to go. Dying in defense of goodness and in the face of evil is a noble idea. But I am not sure I have that kind of bravery.

But I am not sure I have that kind of bravery.
When it is called for, it will come.

@eschatologyguy Thanks - I hope that is true.
