The Constitution was as close to a perfect blueprint for freedom as has ever existed in history. However, it is dead. Honest elections are also dead. America as a free country may be dead - unless we can turn this around quickly.

Perhaps it’s time to figure out how to do better next time around.

I am not sure there will be another next time.

"Perhaps it’s time to figure out how to do better next time around."

DannyTN's suggestions:

• Split the President into a Domestic President and an international affairs President which would have Commander In Chief Respnsibiities.
• Ban or limit the Feds from having domestic police forces.
• Ban Congress from owning foreign equities or bonds.
• Pay Congress and the President a bonus based on the following:
  • Growth in GNP
  • Growth in median household salary. (Households mean divorces hurt their bonus).
  • Percent of working age working full time or independently wealthy.
• Set up a Judicial review committee under the Executive to look for judicial activism and recommend and make the case for impeachments to Congress.
• Set up a constitutional rights commission answerable to Congress that polices the Executive agencies for constitutional rights abuses.
• Change the standing laws so that people who will be affected have standing before a law actually does injury.

There’s been enough talk on FR about “turning this around” for the past four years. WHEN will someone finally, REALLY, start doing something about it?

May be?

Those of us who pray need to pray harder. People refuse to see what is right in their face. I keep thinking of the Jews getting in the train cars without so much as a scuffle, believing everything would “be ok.”
