From what I can tell, they want to appeal the 17th because of the "not really American" fake-majority that elected Obama and a Congress full of democrats. A lot of usually-Republican states went Democratic in '08 on a federal level, but stayed Republican on a state level. If state legislatures elected senators, then the Democrats never would have gotten the sixty vote majority.
There's also a lot of in-fighting and "not really Republican", on top of "un-American" BS — classic versions of the No True Scotsman Fallacy. Beck couldn't even make it through his last three attempts at the Republican primaries, so he's decided that anyone who's not entirely batshit isn't really a Republican.
Do they think that the silver standard will defend the working man from the encroachments of organized wealth via the glories of rampant inflation and that the current administration wants to crucify mankind upon a cross of gold?
Yes. They do. And I wish by all I hold dear that I could say that with sarcasm. Specifically, they think it will ease inflation. No one seems to to have stopped and wondered where we'll get all those precious metals to back up the greenback, since we certainly don't have those sorts of reserves now.
