Wanted - A Congress of the United States
ArticleVBlog ^ | December 9th 2019 | Rodney Dodsworth

Subtitle: Restore Constitutionalism.

In another age not that long ago there were Congresses of the United States. These Congresses of representatives of the people and the states knew their first purpose was defense of the United States. All those rights and privileges put to paper are worthless without physical and cultural defense. If the United States are worth keeping, the United States could really use another Congress of the United States.

In recent generations Congress largely resigned its responsibilities to the executive and judicial branches. The grand objectives of our governing form expressed in the lofty Preamble to our Constitution, and enabled by an Article I Congress, are dead letters. Those defined powers in Section 8, most of which apply to national defense, are modern irrelevancies. The funds that Congress can’t find to protect our southern border somehow land in worthier projects like sex education for California prostitutes, and loans to Rolex Jewelers. No nation can long survive a border and culture open to its enemies, yet the practical duty of congressmen and senators today rarely extends beyond their personal power, wealth, and reelection.

Constitutionalism. Who doesn’t shake their head in disgust at the sight of members of Congress when they take their oaths of office? The only thing missing is a screen-shot of their fingers crossed behind their backs. Perhaps most do not bear false witness; maybe most are simply ignorant of the Constitution. In any event, it wasn’t always this way when ignorance, deception, or deadly inaction typified Congress.

Along the way of crafting laws our Framers envisioned not only a deliberative Congress, but one that concurrently considered the meaning of the Constitution, a Constitution that set the objectives and boundaries of lawmaking.

Simple answer to what is a simple question......Stop sending the same people back, year after year after year.

McCain campaigned on repealing the ACA. Talked a lot of smack about Candidate Trump and in turn, Candidate Trump responded. Not something these folks are used to. So, what did McCain do? Turned his back on everyone. Was he going to do that all along? Probably, but the timing of the vote and the back&forth with DJT just made it look vindictive.

What do we have today? Graham saying that he’s not going to investigate anything when it gets to the Senate. Straight vote. He must know that he has the votes to kill this thing, especially with Romney’s son neck deep in it, Romney is going to do whatever he can to have his dirty laundry aired out. But, I wonder if Graham will hold a town hall in his home state and ask his constituents what they want? You can bet he won’t. Why? Because his constituents voted for Donald J Trump. His constituents show up by the thousands and wait all day and night, to see the President. Graham is lucky if 100 people show up to hear his drivel. And most importantly, his constituents want answers and they want to see asses in prison jumpsuits, where they belong.

That isn’t going to happen. Horowitz is going to protect his pals. Graham is going to protect his pals. McConnell is going to protect his pals. Even if they aren’t pals, everyone is too knee deep in this mess that if you get one, you get them all.

And yet, we continue to send these thieves and liars back year after year after year.

Today's Congress is anything but deliberative.

Everything is already decided along party lines. "Debate" is not intended to expose flaws, improve ideas, or change minds.

Debate is all a show for the people now, in order to get relected.

And half of Congress is fine with Leftist judicial legislating while the other half doesn’t care.

Congress is too busy laundering US foreign aid back into the states and their pockets to do its job.

Thanks for your work, Jacquerie. To think that GOVERNMENT SPOKESMEN like Joe, Nancy, Beto O’Mao are UNCHALLENGED BY ANY “REPRESENTATIVE” is extremely disturbing. The D.C., Divide & Control, POWER CENTER continues to subdue the citizens of the republic. Thanks for the education/history that you provide.

And yesterday/Sunday the word came out from One America News on what we all knew: Lindsey Graham will do what it takes to avoid blowing the lid off Uniparty corruption. Our government is one huge crime family.

If anyone of PTrump’s staff reads this, let it sink in.

President Trump, you had 52,000 people ready and willing to work for you when you came to office. The Deep State destroyed that database. You have been ill advised from jump, surrounded by backstabbers and modern Benedict Arnolds. People like Graham, Romney, Murkowski, Priebus, Mattis, Sessions, and Ryan, who are globalist traitors who think they can put things over on you, and take off for parts unknown. “They have no idea.” (Jeremy Irons)

We had a chance to see young children in the White House, like little George and Barron. Instead, we are walled off by the wizards of smart in Big Tech and the so-called media who smear you at every turn.

Democrats could have worked with you to pull this country back from destruction, but their paymasters, blackmailers, and anti-American hatred of what is good and decent has led them to obstruct you at every turn.

God Almighty is lifting his hand from us. The IG report and the members of the “Resistance,” including HRC and cronies, want us dead. Should it happen that some prophecies do come true and DC, San Fran, & NYC are destroyed, I will go outside and dance a jig, if I am still here. They deserve whatever comes to them.

Some of the Criminals. BEYOND EVIL.

What’d we expect from the most EVIL administration in the history of the republic?

Obama, Obama, Biden, Clinton, Clinton, Holder, Lerner, Kerry, Lynch, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Page, Strzok, etc., etc.,...not counting the propagandists, the indoctrinators, the robed mullahs and other ancillary liars/criminals Gruber, etc., etc..

It takes some criminals to raze a republic.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.

No truth, no justice. No justice, no America.

If they could, Kathy would be pulling Melania by the hair, down the streets of cheering throngs. Flailing arms Lizzy would be the perfect hatchet girl to do the deed. CNN would be there giving us live coverage.

These MOFOS are BEYOND EVIL.

10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages...

Rules for Radicals? No, Rules for changing a limited republican government into an unlimited hereditary one.
