Pat,
I would love to believe we could go back to strict Constitutional government, but it's not going to happen. Hell, it only lasted a couple years when we originally tried it. While I agree with SOME of the outgrowths of government I wish they would have occurred within the system (amendments rather than bu11****).
But the bottom line is that we have what we have now and we're not going back to our proper system(until another civil war or worse). And even then it will only last a couple years again.
You can fight to slow down the carnage with reasoned compromise or eliminate yourself from the game as you've done. It all boils down to this: Would you rather be right or make things better?
EDIT: I would like to add that I don't disagree with anything you've posted as far as its technical correctness.

Len, the Constitution IS my compromise position, if I were king of the universe, I'd rid America of the Constitution and return the the Articles of Confederation, as it should have been Amended in 1787, instead of being superceeded by the Constitution of the Federalist cabal; Hamilton, Jay, Washington, and temporarily, Madison.
Demanding that the federal government remain within the law that created it can't be compromised, it must be demanded everyday. To do otherwise means that there is no genuine law; just what ever those like M-dose say it is from day to day.
I realize that it's unlikely to be a recoverable situation, and that as things deteriorate from feckless thugs like Bush and associates, and then Clinton II and associates; America will continue to lose freedoms we have had, many already gone in my lifetime.
Some areas of the country may secede again, and that may be the answer, or part of the answer.
