BERKELEY – When the French politician and moral philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville published the first volume of his Democracy in America in 1835, he did so because he thought that France was in big trouble and could learn much from America. So one can only wonder what he would have made of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. HereTocqueville was watching Manifest Destiny in action, the ability of Americans to move west, make states and recover the democracy the the Senate constanty steals. Manifest destiny is what made the Senate work. Manifest Destiny stopped in 1865, and demographics has created a massive un democratic oligarch strangling the economy. Let me remind Brad we in California have 1/5 the Senate vote we should have, Brad knows the problems this cause, he knows this is a big part of the problem, and Brad covers this problem up because the UC Berleley economics dept is a shill for the system.
The constitution has a normal response to this problem, pass out more Senate seats. The entire un democratic catastrophe can be eliminated with a 19 words: "It is the consent of the Senate that 28 more Senate seats are available to the large colonial states" That decree adds 6 trillion in debt capacity in about five minutes and completely solves the the delusions current in DC. The Senate cannot do this because both national parties are royalist jackasses with no sense of democracy. Seems odd since the American foreign policy is that shooting at oligarchs is the right of every citizen in the world. According to Hillary, it is perfectly fine for me in Fresno to shoot the next DC bureaucrat I see.
