Fred is a candidate that would look beyond the next election cycle.
Our Republic is broken but not past the point of no return.
someone sent me this (I’m sorry I don’t know who said it)
America’s defining characteristic is freedom. Freedom exists when there are limitations on government, imposed by the principle of individual rights. America was established as a republic, under which the state is restricted to protecting our rights. This is not a system of “democracy.” Thus, you are free to criticize your neighbors, your society, your government—no matter how many people wish to pass a law censoring you. You are free to own your property—no matter how large a mob wants to take it from you. The rights of the individual are inalienable. But if “popular will” were the standard, the individual would have no rights—only temporary privileges, granted or withdrawn according to the mass mood of the moment. The tyranny of the majority, as the Founding fathers understood, is just as evil as the tyranny of an absolute monarch.
America's defining characteristic is freedom under God.
