As the old white guys long ago said, our Constitutional Republic will only work as long as the people are morally good as defined by Christian principles and follow the law. How far away are we now from that? I agree with Jefferson: The government that governs least governs best. Only those laws that are truly needed to maintain order and Constitutional functions - get rid of the rest.
I agree with you on this 100%, but it is unlikely that our hopes will be realized. Our nation has turned away from God and it continues to accelerate in what history will (or would) view as another life cycle of a nation.
In the end people do themselves in due to their own folly when they are put in charge.
And I agree with you 100% on that!
I have been getting a lot of responses to my two posts today that I am dealing with, so I have not seen the video you posted. I will do so before the day ends. Once upon a time I lived out in your beautiful state, back in the early 80s. I would have happily stayed, but personal reasons took me back East. My brother works for the USFS and did work for the NPS. He has told me some of the issues that you discussed in your last post. This has been going on for a long time. Pre-Clinton I never gave it a thought. It seemed that the Federal Bureaucracies for the most part were not our avowed enemies like they seem to be now. Elected officials are paid shills, nothing new in that either except more than ever they are showing that they are the pawns of the Globalists/NWO team. I like my corruption to stay domestic. ;)
