The Union Is Not a Suicide Pact
American Thinker ^ | 18 May, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Either the federal government should abide by the U.S. Constitution, or it should go away.

Comey: I am the law. Fauci: I am the science. Deep State: We are your democracy. Federal Reserve: We are your freedom. This kind of authoritarianism does not belong in America. When tyrants pervert the law, distort scientific inquiry, abuse their power, and pilfer middle-class savings, they are American in name only.

Now that Mr. Durham has gotten around to confirming what most of us have known for nearly seven years — namely, that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, Jim Comey, James Clapper, and the State-aligned press corps doing the Intelligence Community's bidding all conspired to push the fraudulent Russian collusion narrative in an attempt to take down a duly elected president — there are quite a few people calling for the FBI to be either reformed or disbanded. Surprisingly, some of these people now calling for the FBI's demolition are even elected officials.

My response is simple: that should be just the beginning. The federal government is rotten to its core. By the terms of the U.S. Constitution, it has accumulated powers and authorities far beyond anything enumerated and vested to it. It funds a massive administrative state that should not exist. It not only ignores the Bill of Rights, but actively works to undermine those rights.

In my estimation, any government official who engages in public censorship, religious discrimination, gun confiscation, or warrantless searches of private records, in violation of Americans' First, Second, and Fourth Amendment rights, has explicitly betrayed any constitutional oath taken before entering office. Anybody in any office attempting to implement some form of a "disinformation" board to monitor and modify Americans' speech should never hold office again. That so many elected and unelected federal employees not only disregard...

And if you believe in the Constitution the government labels you as a dangerous white supremacist and a terrorist threat to the country.

As with all empires as the Roman, Ottoman, Greek went so will the United States and it will go quickly.

I think it’s over. I don’t see the Constitution in effect at this point. I don’t think we are a nation of laws. I don’t think we have a real government (no border, no honest elections, criminals are not punished, citizens are not protected, courts are not honest).

I retain hope for a Second Republic of the United States — and I do not think it will consist of 50 states. Probably fewer.

Just as the major cities are rapidly going down the dumper, so will the union, in the macro.

The “union” hasn’t existed for many years. Time to divide the assets, split up and move one. There is no future for a 50-state “america” anymore. The pukes of the blue don’t want to coexist with those of “flyover” country, and the feeling is absolutely mutual.

Yep, Good article thank you.

There is no fixing Wakanda DC.

It needs to be obliterated by meteorites (like Sodom and Gomorrah) or exterminated by plague or as Ripley would say:

“Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure”.

The problem with glib solutions like yours is that once we break up, we will be harvested by the ChiComs.

I guess you can make your enlightened projections, but I for one will go down swinging for the legacy our founding fathers left us.

While I appreciate your idealism, that legacy has been tarnished beyond recognition. As for being harvested by the ChiComs, is it your opinion that's not already happening?

The states will regain their sovereignity after FedGov collapses. Many states will form new republics or go their own way asindependent NATIONS. THIS WILL BE A GOOD THING.

Wait what? Freepers tell me China military would have a hard time invading Taiwan ( 80 miles off the China coast ) but some how they would be a threat to a divided USA? LOLOLOLOLOL

This kind of authoritarianism does not belong in America.

However, it has implanted and entrenched itself in America, and it's not going anywhere.

“… once we break up, we will be harvested by the ChiComs.”

They have harvested the federal government whole already. They call the shots now, as they have bought everyone of significance in D.C. and turned the government into the burgeoning totalitarian state that it is now.

That is how it is with societies in their death throes…those being dragged to destruction by the Lord Almighty. Probably better to break apart and try to preserve a remnant of something that gets closer to the original vision than attempt to fight it out for an empire that is already dead and buried.

He forgot Big Media: We are the "truth". See Tagline.
