Call & write Congress? Done… repeatedly. Vote for another party’s candidate? Done… repeatedly. Attend another party’s (Tea party) meetings? Done…

The simple reality is that if Congressional representatives are deaf to reasoned persuasion or political threat, then no legal remedy exists. And, absent sufficient political consensus for reform, no practical means of change is available.

In the long term, that may be the most harmful aspect of this abomination.

Why go for a strained analogy with Hitler’s Enabling Act when US history provides plenty of nearly-identical acts of Congress surrendering power to the executive?

His foreign policy wasn’t particularly outstanding or abnormal. He followed along with the Republican administration more or less.

A deal maker, Ryan is. Perhaps he believes Hussein is also a deal maker, that Hussein will obey his side of the deal. Or perhaps Ryan is getting some kind of critical mass return deal that he needs for Ryan’s other projects to go through.

Or perhaps there’s the blackmail angle. Or the government leak of so and so information, which can be false flagged back to Snowden or China or Russia.

As such, the neo cons can take the great share of blame for foreign wars, which Paul Ryan ilks blame for much of America’s misfortune.

That is not the same as hating or blaming the Leftist alliance domestically, however. That is not the same at all.

An alliance is made from mutual interest or common objectives. It does not necessitate common beliefs or agreement on religious truths. The Libertarian hierarchy may believe that the way to utopia will be clear once the Republicans are stepped over, in favor of Democrat peace. But Democrats are more warlike than people realize.

Maybe this IS the parallel universe.
