A God Help Us All Ping.
Sad, sad day. Liberty has passed away. RIP
The US Constitution as written is just fine.
The US Constitution as implemented is where the problem is.
The Check and Balance of last resort on Rogue Branches of Governments are the States in the Union.
Each State is to hold a State Constitutional Convention to compile enough States of like interests to reach the minimum number of States to rewrite the US Constitution.
This is a tedious process, and would take years, but no bloodshed.
Meanwhile, the financial markets will soon absorb the financial entity that once was the US Federal Government, due to the collapse of the Federal Debt Bubble.
This Federal Debt Bubble will pop as quickly as a major country, say China, stops buying US Treasury Bonds.
When the FHA went bankrupt in September 2008, 30 % of the wealth in the world was destroyed in a few months. The Federal Debt Bubble will have a much bigger decline.
So do we can sit here for years and watch spoiled brat, fat cat politicians sling mud at each other, or spend our time rewriting the rules for their sorry little behinds?
Roberts could not see himself an an upholder of the Ideals of our Founding Fathers. He should resign.
Roberts is a compromiser. He wanted to vote against the individual mandate as a jack-boot instrument of Government Cruelty, but found a way to support it by illegally converting a fine into a tax. For this he should be IMPEACHED.
People in DC love to compromise-away their most deeply held values. The reason is simple: there are no penalties for doing so.
That is a true story for the future if we continue to believe what is being put before us. Obama is a bad choice, and Romney is a bad choice. We must go in a different direction. Thanks for the ping. I’m signing off now.
