Every time Democrats attempt to govern the country from the ideological left, they damage government's reputation and status.Let's keep focused on this during the election and not allow the Dems to divert the discussion to abortion, gay marriage etc.
Obviously, this government is not governing “with the consent of the governed.” This requirement was the crucial one for the Founding Fathers.
Refuse to be diverted is a good idea talking to a liberal is a waste of words and time they are brain washed to a point that logic is dead,Obama is a good example.
"§ 1907. If these Commentaries shall but inspire in the rising generation a more ardent love of their country, an unquenchable thirst for liberty, and a profound reverence for the constitution and the Union, then they will have accomplished all, that their author ought to desire. Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capable, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence. The structure has been erected by architects of consummate skill and fidelity; its foundations are solid; its compartments are beautiful, as well as useful; its arrangements are full of wisdom and order; and its defences are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of man may justly aspire to such a title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour by the folly, or corruption, or negligence of its only keepers, THE PEOPLE. Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them."
George Washington's Farewell Address, Thomas Jefferson's First Inaugural, as well as the writings and speeches of other leaders warned citizens of the need to monitor and limit the coercive power of those they would elect to serve them.
Have we reached a "tipping point" where "We, the People" may be willing to examine our Constitution's founding principles of liberty and hold our representatives in government to the limits and bounds of the Constitution?
Reagan deeply loved America.
Obama’s statement he’d be Reagan in reverse is, to my recollection, the only clear and categorically true statement he ever spoke.
