the people have let america down... it is yet to be seen if that continues.

Taxation with representation is just as bad as without.

It gives the illusion of choice.

America was made with the idea that the majority of people would be White Christians. It remains to be seen if it can hold together otherwise

[xoxox]

democracies aren’t eternal, after all.

[PGalt]

No. Good article though.

Is America a “Failed Historical Model”?

Well, potentially "yes" ... but only if we fail to hang our domestic enemies of the Republic who would replace our model of government with socialism, communism, or sharia counter-models of government.

[Sirius Lee]

Correct. The nation is the expression of the people themselves, whether a free republic, or a tyranny.

America represents the pinnacle of individual rights, limited government, reason, and capitalism, and its success is a testament to the power of these principles.

[logi_cal869]

No, not if we don’t let it fail.

One of my 3 questions is about the U.S. Constitution; the left has no idea what lies inside Pandora’s box...

[T.B. Yoits]

America represents the pinnacle of individual rights, limited government, reason, and capitalism, and its success is a testament to the power of these principles.

...and why the globalists have been attacking it since the 1820s and really ramped up their efforts in the last century.

Your point about Christianity in this country is spot on. "Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other." -- John Adams

But, I would strike "White" from your sentiment. After all it was the white Christians from the north that fought and died to free the black Christians from the south. True Christians are literally the least racist people in the world. Problem is, not everyone claiming to be a Christian really is one, so the waters get muddy.

[TexasFreeper2009]

no, just failed cities when run by liberals.

Liberals took over the cities when whites fled do to racial busing. Nothing will work properly until that is fixed.

[Bonemaker]

Well on the way.

“A democracy (republic) cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.” - Alexander Fraser Tytler (late 18th century).

[Robert DeLong]

No, what you are seeing is taxation without representation. Do you feel that your elected officials are representing their constituency? Even the ones you may have voted for?

This is exactly why we went to war with GB to break away.

As Thomas Jefferson said:

“the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants”

We can see the tyrants.

Question is:

Will we see the patriots?

[Robert DeLong]

That is why the founders rejected a Democracy and went with a Representative Republic instead.

[Churchillspirit]

Every "Empire" has its day.

Remains to be seen if America can prevail against the trend to anarchy we see today.

[TheDon]

The constitutional amendment process has been neglected to our detriment.

A suggestion:

Only those who can vote for a candidate may contribute to their campaign for office.

More radical but perhaps more to the point:

The wealthy may not be involved in government nor politics. They’re too disconnected from the common man to be involved in their governance.

You can replace white with “western” since I think the problem is more cultural than genetic. People from alien cultures aren’t going to care too much what happens to America sure they can be assimilated but that doesn’t happen over night and America doesn’t seem to care too much about even trying
