There's really only one political problem and only one solution

For eight years the Democrats called Bush Hitler and Republicans fascists. Now it's our turn to call them names. Problem is we are using the same words because we have been sucked into the commies' game and worldview. Well, duh! The Democratic party has been Marxist for 60 years. They were the ones who trashed the Constitution by expanding the role, scope and size of government in the first place. The Founders are rolling in their graves at how meddlesome and dictatorial the Federal government bureaucrats have become and the way Congress is poking its nose into other peoples' business.

The blame for this falls squarely on the Democrats for initiating the "government as God" concept but Republicans have also done (and still do) their own fair share of interfering nosy-parker busy-body mischief. As long as the two parties keep participating in the unconstitutional expansion of government power, we're going to see each other as dictators and fascists. It is the overwhelming size, scope and power of an unconstitutional government that makes each side fear each other. Of course the overwhelming size, scope and power of government has been exactly the Democratic Party's agenda for 60 years.

But Republicans have not opposed that expansion seriously enough and have in fact gone and introduced a whole bunch of other baggage that is not the government's business. By introducing our own brand of authoritarianism, we have also become feared by ordinary freedom-loving Americans. The only agenda that any political party should pursue is keeping government honest, simple and constitutional. Of course that's complete heresy to the Democrats so that leaves only us to keep insisting on limited constitutional government.

The only agenda that the GOP should pursue is to fight fiercely against the size, scope and power of an unconstitutional government. Leave all the social engineering to the commies. Of course we will need to educate people (or maybe re-educate) and show clearly how big government is the problem not the solution. The GOP can become the real American party by sticking to a simple agenda: we have unalienable natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the other rights mentioned in the Bill of Rights such as free speech, the right to bear arms.

Political opponents would have no fear of each other if they did not wield the power of unconstitutional government against each other. The truth is so simple that it's sometimes seems impossible to tell it because people are now so used to big intrusive government that they're almost deaf to the wisdom of our Founders; that government is a necessary evil and we should use it only sparingly.

If we had stuck with a limited and strictly constitutional government, our society would be a lot more civil and polite and the citizens would be less fearful of each others' agendas. Trouble it's not that easy anymore to make the case against out-of-control unconstitutional government. Constitutionalists will have to have the patience of saints to just keep speaking the truth knowing that we will eventually win even if it takes a thousand years.
