Patriots have an unconstitutionally big federal government on their backs today because they let themselves get fat, dumb and happy, and ignored the following warnings of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson to keep an eye on the federal government.
”I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)
”To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” —Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791
”The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.
In fact, Jefferson had predicted that we would have big federal government problems.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Conservatives may have allowed themselves to become ‘fat dumb and happy’ as you say, but I’m a right wing nationalist and I hate Democrats and despise the lefties in the Republicrat Party.
We need some serious ground shaking because this District of Corruption needs to be shoved into the crevices.
Out of the entire Congressional roster we’re lucky to find a handful who vote to protect the Constitution. Hell, even the corrupted SCOTUS is weighted down with two lesbians, one old leftist crone, one swing voter and on the other side we have Thomas and Alito. The bench is just waiting for a President Hillary to appoint another left-wing loon. Perhaps a blatant homosexual or a transvestite pervert.
If the clueless Americans saddle this nation (which is now reduced to pitiful status) with Hillary and Billy Goat we’re on the way to the left’s goal.
