The main purpose of the federal government is to provide for the common defense of our states. The federal government will sanction military action half way around the world but refuses to provide this protection on our own door step. Have we reached the point in political correctness that being criticized and called names stops us in our tracks when our tracks should lead to the defense of our borders? What are we the citizens of individual states in this union to think? Not only are our national leaders not enforcing our borders, they are trying to find ways to legitimize the wholesale invasion of Mexicans and God knows how many people of other nationalities hell bent on our destruction. We are not the people of our forefathers. We have lost the grit to stand up and say, " this is wrong. We will not let one more person set foot in this country illegally, even if it means physical restraint along the entire border on the south and in the north. Does anybody else see what I see?

No Great Depression and no W.W. ii. Ironic they managed to raise such a soft generation (the boomers), who then raised the luridly lacking crop of animals called the gen-X'ers.
Anywho, if you refer to the founding fathers, I think those men did not predict the dream of universal prosperity. Every person in this country is guarenteed a meal and shelter - even murders - because our wealth and soft hearts allow for it. Who in the world is going to sacrifice a comfortable life to go fight government, having so very much to lose, despite that our government steals 35% of our income and puts our very lives and culture at risk.
Sure- "blood of tyrants", etc... No thanks. Maybe in the 1700s, but it's not acceptable today due to entitlement. Absent fanatical or religious beliefs, only men with nothing to lose are both effective and dangerous to their enemies (which is largely the basis of military conscription, interestingly).
