I think we've had the third option all along. It's just that we drifted away from it and stumbled into the corrupt and rigged system that you hate. A system without a "soul" or place, as represented by Spence's Woa article. Reading it personified, for me, the phrase by Gertrude Stein "there's no there there."

Perhaps, the personification of a viable third option that you might more approve would be in another article in the same publication which the Woa article appeared:

http://www.theamericanconservative.c...wer-to-empire/

Maybe not. But I, at least 90%, like it. It does portray something of personal value, and a place to live it.

this is an ONION article right??

"I wrote a piece for the New Republic soon afterward about the Obamacon phenomenon—prominent conservatives and Republicans who were openly supporting Obama. Many saw in him a classic conservative temperament: someone who avoided lofty rhetoric, an ambitious agenda, and a Utopian vision that would conflict with human nature, real-world barriers to radical reform, and the American system of government."

"Race: In fact, Obama has seldom touched on the issue of race, and when he has he has emphasized the conservative themes of responsibility and self-help. Even when Republicans have suppressed minority voting, in a grotesque campaign to fight nonexistent... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...mber-election/.... voter fraud, Obama has said and done nothing." http://www.msnbc.com/politicsnation/...n-223854147986
