Post Mortem, 2006 Election

The congress will now be run by Democrats. Do you really expect things to be different? Maybe a little, but, the government will continue to grow and your freedoms will always be threatened. There will be different lobbyists sitting in the office of each committee chair asking for legislation that will micro manage your life, for the sake of the children, or for the sake of something besides you and your freedoms. Everyone that is passionate about their opinion will want that opinion to become law, and the constitution be dammed.

The only way you can remain free is if you have the right to declare your independence from the nation state, state, county or city government. There is no chance of that since both parties need your productivity and taxes. Try buying a few acres of land and declaring your independence as a country and you will realize you are a slave to the State.

The democrats, or republicans, control the political process. They have the money and power to set the rules for elections. They do not want any competition from third party candidates.
