 @41995660 There's too much of an association with McCarthyism to ever bring it back but something like it needs to happen to keep the Alinsky following marxist activists in check 👍 
 @41995660 A thought occurred to me upon reading: swap out the Dept of Education wholesale for HUAC, taking up the former's offices. Seems fitting. 
 @41995660 Congress would exempt themselves, thus rendering the whole point moot.

Almost all empires are about the same. We're still well within our allotted ~250 years.

Please consult Sir John Glubb's "Fate of Empires." It's a 26-page giblet from the late '70s with some insight. http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf
