At the risk of sounding treasonous I must state flatly that mass democracy has FAILED miserably. The sheeple in this country will simply to vote to elect politicians and political parties which promise them stuff. Our $16 trillion national debt——while monstrous and insane to us——means NOTHING to them so long as the Federal Reserve can continue to buy up our bonds and print Monoploy money.

Our Founding Fathers established a limited government constitutional republic. They established an Electoral College to elect the president. They wanted nothing to do with mob rule or mass democracy-—they were horrified by the disastrous results of the French Revolution.

We must accept the fact that mass democracy has failed us, mob rule has bankrupted us. Our Constitution, which was written with the primary purpose of limiting the power of the federal government (granting most powers to the states under the 10th Amendment) is NOT being followed in Washington.

We have a POTUS who is implementing the same ideas of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela: Get most of the people hooked on government entitlements and support programs so they will continue to support you, meanwhile nationalize or control the main industies (like healthcare) and in Venezuela the big oil companies. I don’t think Obama will seek a third time outright, but the Dems will rule indefinitely. But unless we the people take action to restore our limited government constitutional republic, it’s over. Many think it is already too late. Democracy may sound nice, but when people want stuff, it must come from others. Democracy is not compatible with limited government. We need a government which protects states rights, individual rights, taxpayers rights, gunowners rights, unborn rights, property rights, the right of private business and free enterprise. We don’t have such a government. Major and necessary changes are warranted. This isn’t my country anymore. I don’t recognize it all. I feel like Captain von Trapp after he returned from his honeymoon.

If it were not for the 17th Amendment, the GOP would have a 60 vote majority in the Senate.
