What Exactly Is… The Militia?

TeaPartyTribune

Here’s the definitive quote from one of our founding fathers: ”I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials.” — George Mason, in Debates in the Virginia Convention.

Here's a thought:  If the Country Club Republicans have taken over the GOP, what does that mean?  It means that money is driving politics, I would say.  Now, correlate this with the above definition, and ask this question---If money drives politics, can the absence of money mean anything useful resulting from the organization of the "whole people"?  Another way of putting it is this--- is a country by the people, of the people, and for the people even possible today?  We seem to be a country by the powerful, of the powerful, and for the powerful---the rest of the country be damned.
