The Constitution can be restored. The Constitution must be restored if we are to recover our lost freedoms and preserve it for our children and grandchildren. All democracies end in hyperinflation or bankruptcy whenever the public learns to vote itself benefits from the treasury. Is there anybody that actually believes the US can escape a similar fate if we don't restore the Constitution.
This is the first of a series of articles that will be published in the days and weeks ahead on FreeRepublic. A small group of Freepers has devised a simple plan that can be easily implemented. If successfully implemented, this plan has a better chance of restoring the Constitution than any plan you have ever seen or are likely to see.

Whenever the public learns to vote itself benefits from the treasury, as opposed to just the government employees giving themselves bloated salaries, benefits and pensions?

I look forward to reading more of the ideas you espouse. Your preamble, if that is what it is, is provocative and well written.
The only way to reign in govt is from the grassroots, as the leadership is already entrenched and unwilling to change.

The Constitution can be restored.The Constitution is not the problem. It's the Judiciary and the weak-kneed RINO's that are to blame. Since we are in the majority we have to accept the responsibility of governing and it isn't being done across the board. The Miers selection is proof of this weakness.

Seriously, for things to change for the better, every single politician in Washington needs to be fired. Of course this won't happen, the political machine that runs DC will never allow the surfs to regain their lost freedoms. Face it, they're (politicians) are all corrupt. We need to wipe the slate clean.
But I will join in on your quest, please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

I have been reading a lot about President Reagan lately, including both of Peggy Noonan's books on him. He did compromise, both as governor of my state and as President. It appears an unrealistist history has been written about him in people minds these days.
There is also an unrealistic idea of how President Bush should govern this country, or which he is the leader of ALL citizens, not just pure conservatives. It is a different story when you are actually doing the job, as some of you should well realize.

This is a solid, well-written beginning. The premise is correct. The conclusion is correct. But the devil is in the details between step one and step last. I look forward to reading the coming installments.

Thank you.
However: Given that our parasitical political classless have so successfully reversed our nation's Constitutional direction and have restructured America's Founding Law to replace we the People with they the political, judicial and [Much-more-insidiously and efficaciously-FRankensteinian] bureaucratic Tyrants; any effort is doomed to failure that bypasses as the first essential step of our struggle to FRee and to restore the United States Republic, the imposition of Term Limits upon all feral politicians. [And judges and, especially, upon bureaucrats]
And any 'idea' that descends from the premise that a FRee Republic is to be found among any existing political, judicial and/or bureaucratic structure and/or organisation is as delusionally fantastic as is the false premise from which it seeks to descend.
And thems the facts.

- It is self-evident why replacing a socialistic Republican with a Constitutional conservative is an improvement, but this series will help you to understand why it should be acceptable to risk losing a socialistic Republican's seat, even to a Democrat, as part of an intermediate step that moves the entire Republican Party itself substantially to the right.

To disprove this premise, I merely cite a counterexample: hillary clinton. Imagine how much better, how much safer the world would be today if Rick Lazio... or Rudy Giuliani... had won in 2000. Alternatively, imagine the clintons controlling the Senate.... Now imagine how much better, how much safer the world would be if the rapist had lost in 92'... of even in '96.... So while the premise is untenable post-9/11, (we no longer have the cushion of time or circumstance to survive a clinton... or even the generic Democrat), given modern, real-world conditions, it is also demonstrably unexceptable anytime, witness the clinton 'presidency.'

"I remember exactly what happened. Bruce Lindsey said to me on the phone, 'My God, a second plane has hit the tower.' And I said, 'Bin Laden did this.' that's the first thing I said. He said, 'How can you be sure?' I said 'Because only bin Laden and the Iranians could set up the network to do this and they [the Iranians] wouldn't do it because they have a country in targets. Bin Laden did it.' I thought that my virtual obsession with him was well placed and I was full of regret that I didn't get him." bill clinton Sunday, Sept 3, 2002 Larry King Live

"Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in '91 and he went to the Sudan. We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him [bin Laden]. At the time, '96, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America. So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have; but they thought it was a hot potato. They didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan." bill clinton Sunday, Aug. 11, 2002 Clinton Reveals on Secret Audio: I Nixed Bin Laden Extradition Offer

The Left's Fatally Flawed "Animal Farm" Mentality
(Why America Must NEVER AGAIN Elect a Democrat President)

The Bush Doctine is built on two pillars, one -- that the United States must maintain its absolute military superiority in every part of the world, and second -- that the United States has the right for preemptive action. Now, both these propositions, taken on their own, are quite valid propositions, but if you put them together, they establish two kinds of sovereignty in the world, the sovereignty of the United States, which is inviolate, not subject to any international constraints, and the rest of the world, which is subject to the Bush Doctrine. To me, it is reminiscent to [sic] George Orwell's "Animal Farm," that "All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others." George Soros

- WHY DID BILL CLINTON IGNORE TERRORISM?
Was it simply the constraints of his liberal mindset, or was it something even more threatening to our national security?
- THE LEFT'S RECKLESS TET-OFFENSIVE-GAMBIT REPLAY:
the left's jihad against America is killing our troops, aiding + abetting the terrorists and imperiling all Americans
- pro-islamofascist-terrorist radical chic
WHY THE LEFT IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA
