    Seems we all have different ideas of what it means to be a democratic Republic.

    -Power pushed closest to the people
    -Limited Fed with Enumerated Powers
    -Enforcement of "Negative Rights" (the right to be left alone as long as others' rights are not infringed upon)
    --I would suggest that opposing Gay Marriage would be an infringement of the Negative Rights of gays
    -Equal application of the law

    i have let go any sentimental thoughts of America...how it was...how it is now...
    i just think of what's made it this way...and where it's going...to a tyrannical socialist regime

    I listen to to comentators now and then and I think this one had some good points.
    I kind of agree America was assassinated and also the GOP ran on the wrong issues and should have stuck with how we can change more so than how bad the dems were. If interested skip the first 5 minutes of tape.

    Congressman Chip Roy points out a part of what is wrong with America, and with the Republican Party, as he addresses empty seats in the House Chamber.

    First question was 'where are the reps for all those empty seats?
    Chip is right in all he said.

    Wasn't there a time when CSPAN would air such speeches and pan the room so you could see the lack of an audience, and then Congress put a stop to it and made them keep the camera on the speaker?
