One tentacle of the Leviathan is no better than another.

A friend argued that I could take my ideological "purity all the way to [my] economic prison."

She believes that my refusal to join the GOP will lead us to this metaphorical "prison."

She fails to see we are already incarcerated. I think most reasonable people would agree the Democrats are not solely responsible for our obscenely bloated federal government. Many Republicans - and all of the honest ones - admit their culpability.

"This time, however," they always say, "things will be different." They want "just ONE more last chance." Because, "this time" they "really MEAN it."

As Big Government Republican George W. Bush said, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.... you can't get fooled again." On this occasion I agree with W.

We are already in my friend's metaphoric "economic prison." One built jointly by the Republicans and Democrats. One built with your her approval. One built on the false belief that one tentacle of the Leviathan is better than the other.

One that can not stand without her - and our - consent.

Withdraw your consent. We are saving you all at a seat at the table.

    David,
    I agree with your argument; however, in practical terms – how do you withdraw your consent in such a way as to undermine the Leviathan.
