At the beginning of your post, I was beginning to both fear and pity you. By the end of your post, I respected you even more! Clever post.
I see your anaolgy as apt. A swtich over to an empirical government (more military + less civil rights + fake war = move to empire) will only hurt everyone (even the republicans). Some people are so short-sighted.

The Republicans spend a bunch of money on defense and try to build an empire, and the Democrats come behind them and force us back on track.

Can the Democrats and Libertarians really do this? We were supposed to make our huge stand during the last election. 51% didn't come through. Is it possible that the cycle has an end? I hope not, because if it is we're in for some very uncomfortable times (I say uncomfortable because the average American seems to want to be comfortable and be left alone).
