From the perspective of the National Question, the 2012 election was a real bummer. By the time one voted on November 6th, what were the options, really?

Life is full of choices. Every four years, Americans choose their president. This year the choice is between the incumbent, Democrat Barack Obama, and the Republican challenger Mitt Romney. It’s a shame they both can’t lose. Neither man seems particularly dedicated to the U.S. Constitution nor to the historical American nation. Neither is prone to [...]
