yeah, good ol’ Charley Reese. Him and Willis Carto.
Calling that scum American it’s no wonder you nimrods voted a bad copy of Arafat in.
"435 Congressmen plus 100 Senators plus 9 Supreme Court Justices plus one President... hmm. Five hundred fourty-five. Five hundred fourty-people could, if they wanted to, get together and take over the whole country, dispense with the Constitution, turn our Rule of Law upside down, and turn America into a hell on Earth."
And I would wonder: "why don't they?" What's to stop them? Nothing.
Nothing except an idea. Nothing except a concept, abstract and very difficult to measure, but everyone knows what it means. It's like the famous remark by Justice Potter Stewart about pornography: "I know it when I see it."
I mean, George Soros, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates could get together and offer every one of those 545 human beings say, $50 million each, in gold, to turn America into the ecotopia wonderland they want so much. What's to stop them from doing it? Have they done it already?
It's time to re-asses (upwards).
Another interesting article from the Oathkeepers about why nothing changes:
I think he's retired now. Was one of my favorite columnists here if Floriduh. Spoke with wisdom and clarity on a wide range of topics.

According to Wikipedia, Reese did put out this initially in the 1980’s ....and might have updated it ...but the basic facts are still valid. (He retired in 2008 ...so if he updated it as a final column, it was a few years ago.)
HOWEVER - what Reese fails to do is to point the blame where it REALLY belongs .....
the majority of the electorate who vote in those louses ....because they will vote for Santa Claus who will steal from Peter to give to Paul, knowing that Paul will vote for him - BECAUSE PAUL LIKES TO RECEIVE STOLEN GOODS!!!
Walter E. Williams (sometimes substitute host for Rush Limbaugh) points out that those who vote for politicians who “lard up the budget” are no different that unethical/immoral people who buy stolen goods at deep discount, knowing that the seller got the goods through theft.
If people voted for the politician who would most closely follow the Constitution ...we wouldn’t have the problems that we do.
It has come down to politicians willing to do unethical things to get re-elected ....because voters won’t vote for the honest/ethical politician who denies their constituents the opportunity to garner “free handouts” (taken from other hard workers!)
And as we get more and more people who are recipients of “stolen goods” - (fast approaching 50%) = those people WILL NEVER vote to have government get smaller ....and will support an even larger/more intrusive government.
BUT - Bottom Line - Charley Reese lays the blame on politicians ....for doing what politicians are most adept at doing - doing whatever it takes to get elected and re-elected. However - as Pogo said - “we have met the enemy, and he is us.” VOTERS are to blame. As to the minority of voters who might revere the Constitution and keep getting screwed, then they might need to be prepared to passively resist, or even actively resist!
MAYBE...if enough workers “GO GALT” ....and the economy tanks ...maybe some of those people who vote for government largess will reconsider and decide that our government should not do those things if the able workers go on strike! But I am not optimistic - since our education system has really dumbed down the voters, and they can’t see that we are becoming Greece (and France) - with more and more people protesting for better benefits paid by others.
