I just wanted to try to bring people back from the shiny object for a moment before we loose everything. We need a clear look at what the enemy is doing or they will lead us around by the nose until we end up in Concentration camps or worse.
First, I would like people to do some homework. Read the Constitution. You probably haven't read it in awhile and it's short. If you haven't read it in a couple of years, maybe a refresher is in order. Second read or watch "1984" to understand "Newspeak" and Central government better. Third, read or watch "Animal Farm". These were required reading back in my day. (69 yo)
The Constitution tell us explicitly how elections shall be done.
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress:"
The key words here is of course the state Legislators direct the election and appointing of the electors. I wanted to boil this argument down and try to stay out of the weeds to show the problem we are in now. The way America is supposed to work is we make good and just laws by arguing things out and choosing wisely what we enact. That takes the emotion out of the process. Going down all these rabbit trails of hidden votes, illegals voting, double votes, just makes things more confused because the rules were already supposed to be written by the Legislature.
Trump contained this Article 2 Section one principle in most of his lawsuits against the states, but confused it with allegations of voter fraud of every type. Voter fraud happens BECAUSE the Constitution wasn't followed. The Constitution Stops voter fraud if it's followed. The second problem came when the courts kept killing the Lawsuits and not hearing them. They clearly knew the Constitution was violated but chose NOT to do anything about it. How ridiculous was it to say Trump had no standing!
Every official that is connected to the government takes an oath to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. That means the last defense for the rule of Law, the court system, especially the Supreme Court, failed. If the line of government offices that are there to protect the Constitution fail, and it appears to be on purpose, how will we ever get our Constitutional Republic back. If a majority of the Congress and Senate and the SCOTUS all just make it up as we go along, we are in deep, deep trouble.
If this is allowed to stand, they will tell us we can't go to church anymore,...Oh, excuse me that's already done. Maybe we won't be allowed to speak our mind, Oh Yeah, that's been gone since "hate Speech" was invented. How about the Second Amendment? That's in the pipe right now. How about "Search and Siezure",...already gone.
People, we are in deep trouble and I wanted to make it clear that this election is not the beginning of Lawlessness. It has been in the works for a long time. I'm willing to state that I saw it happening back in the 1960's. By allowing courts and state officials that are NOT in the state legislatures to change the rules, how do we put the toothpaste back in the tube? The reason America has lasted for 250 years is we all felt like the Constitution was the ultimate rule book everyone must follow. Any elected official that we might feel like was a good fellow, has now been neutered and is now just taking up space.
I hate to be a downer, but they will be coming after us now if we just rear a red hat. This is full on Fascism now in my view. Is someone going to take this breech of Law to the SCOTUS to straightened it out? I doubt it now.
We need a centralized ‘clearing house’ for this information...a website that provides such information. Need an alternative to YouTube< Twitter? Facebook? Need a list of alternatives to ABC? CBS? NBC? ...and so forth?
Hello New World Odor and the anti-Christ.
Well written MW.
What’s your suggestion for a Google alternative? I use duck duck go but for some reason on FreeRepublic the font is tiny and it doesn’t seem to have a lot of settings.
You can say this on the 20th if Joe Biden is president.
Until then, you cannot.
Wow, where have I read that story before? Wait, maybe it's shot through most of a book called "the Old Testament"!
Animal Farm,
1984,
Chicken Run and
Animal House-——got it.
I intend to be a stand-Up
Comedian.
Blazing Saddles,
Anyone?
Thank you.
Electing Obama was the beginning of the end
Amen. People that don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
“The Road to Serfdom” by Hayek spells this all out.
The inexorable march of statists is to more and more brutal tactics.
Because it will take a cold-hearted official to make the uncomfortable decisions. As those decisions become less and less popular (and workable), tougher decisions will have to be made. So a tougher and colder official will rise to the top.
Rinse & repeat until you have the coldest, most brutal dictator rising to the top.
History bears out this theory.
Roe v Wade was the beginning of the end. Obama was just a signpost on the way to hell. Clinton was a bigger lurch downward than Obama was.
I am trying to find a reason to think that fair elections are not a thing of the past.
And with them goes rule of law, ect.
Anyone got anything?
Chuckles,
A little song,
A little dance,
A little Seltzer
Down the Pantz.
Obama weaponized our entire government HE did more damage to this country than ANY other POTUS!!!
>>> If Trump has a rabbit up his sleeve, he had best reveal it, pronto.
Nancy Pelosi’s sense of urgency about impeachment should tell you everything you need to know.
She knows better what Trump is up to than we do.
Like like 20 times it goes “And the people sinned so God allowed their enemies to overtake them...people don’t like that... repent... God raises up a champion to deliver them or subdues their enemies”. We see this in modern times, countries vote in hard core socialist governments, then right-center governments to give them relief, then foolishly return to the vomit of the left.
Argentina, Spain, Italy, Australia, Canada, Brazil all have recently cycled.
