Sure. The Constitution is fallible. I agree. BUT ITS THE BEST WE GOT. And, if the Country returned to the founding principles in the Bill of Rights and Constitution, America would be light years ahead of where it is right now. There is no perfect Government. There is no perfect "system". Each system is run and controlled by humans. Humans are fallible and corrupted. Therefore, the best system is one that spreads power out in the broadest possible way (Federal State Local), and across Governmental bodies (Legislative, Executive, Judiciary). The original system intended by the Founders was really ingenious in that it embodied all the key principles of power dissemination and protection of liberties. Which is why the current lot are busy tearing down those separation of powers on all levels and hastily consolidating it.
I agree. You're a patriot and many like you in the Boomer generation. But lots wern't patriots and shared a different vision for America, and the good ones like yourself, were outnumbered and lost.
============= Good points President Thomas Jefferson said ''No free man shall be disbarred the use of arms'' Contrast that with all the Nazi[National Socialist] micro-managing gun laws in Germany, 1930's, 1940's
The founders didn't foresee a single economic class occupying leadership positions in most of those bodies. Couple the fact they have the same socioeconomic interests with the well-known revolving door between those positions, and you have nullified the dispersal protection you mentioned.
Yup. You're right. They have to be exposed. Sad thing is, when presented with the truth, people might still go along with the system.
We didn't need a "diffeent vision for America". The Founders risked "their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor" to give us a form of government the world had never seen before... and look what it lead to until about 1900... economic powerhouse, land of the free and personal liberty, land of opportunity. It was the Progressives/Democraps and their Socialist (false) utopia ideology and agenda which started us down the path to destruction. Detroit is a microcosm of America's future.
And so you've just admitted that there is little difference between the "left and the right". So why is it that you spend all of your time on here defending one political party ad absurdum?
I doubt anything short of a second Revolutionary War.. this time against our own government. No chance of that until 100,000,000 people are willing to take up arms go into the streets. It will be at least a couple of decades, I suspect, before enough of us get it and say "No Mas". The Progressives/Democrap slave masters surely won't be slowing down their juggernaut voluntarily.
