the people have let america down... it is yet to be seen if that continues.
Taxation with representation is just as bad as without.
It gives the illusion of choice.
America was made with the idea that the majority of people would be White Christians. It remains to be seen if it can hold together otherwise
democracies aren’t eternal, after all.
No. Good article though.
America represents the pinnacle of individual rights, limited government, reason, and capitalism, and its success is a testament to the power of these principles.
No, not if we don’t let it fail.
One of my 3 questions is about the U.S. Constitution; the left has no idea what lies inside Pandora’s box...
no, just failed cities when run by liberals.
Liberals took over the cities when whites fled do to racial busing. Nothing will work properly until that is fixed.
Well on the way.
“A democracy (republic) cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.” - Alexander Fraser Tytler (late 18th century).
Remains to be seen if America can prevail against the trend to anarchy we see today.
The constitutional amendment process has been neglected to our detriment.
A suggestion:
Only those who can vote for a candidate may contribute to their campaign for office.
More radical but perhaps more to the point:
The wealthy may not be involved in government nor politics. They’re too disconnected from the common man to be involved in their governance.
“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.” — Thomas Jefferson
The country worked when it still had a frontier spirit of moving on and starting over on your own. When the country got filled up and we got crowded together it became harder to do that, and people turned toward government to do things for them.
As our forefathers noted, our freedoms are only sustained by a virtuous people, and my how we've fallen.
I believe the country of Liberia has for the most part the identical Constitution as America does and is constitutional republic.
That country is a fail. Something about the citizenry comes into play.
If only we didn’t turn away from God.
