No doubt about it and there is also no doubt that we will be paying for it for a really long time!
A second Constitutional Congress in this day in age would be a disaster. We all know that; there are just too many americans with insufficient virtue today, as the founders knew to be a vital ingredient, to accomplish it. The MAIN reason that James Madison was opposed to the Bill of Rights was because the way it was proposed, it would lead to the re-write and thus unraveling of the careful balance that resulted in the Constitution. Indeed, at the time, it was not clear that a Bill of Rights would be appended as we have it today, but interwoven into the text. So, what do we have today? The left has no problem changing the law via the judiciary or by executive fiat or by the bureaucracy. They are basically attempting to have the results of a “Constitutional Convention” without the formality of one, and one without any opposition.... to them.
The 1965 Immigration Act.
True, True, True, and perhaps worse than we know.
“The American media and press should be ashamed of themselves for failing to vet this man...”
They did vet him, but when they found his radical past, they covered it up.
Custer made the mistake of a lifetime when he divided his forces before heading to Little Bighorn, under the assumption that he was facing only 800 Indians under Sitting Bull.
Captain Edward Smith or the Titanic made the mistake of a lifetime when he ordered full speed on 14 April, 1912, despite reports of ice ahead.
Julius Caesar made the mistake of a lifetime when he allowed more than sixty “former” enemies to surround him on the Ides of March in 44 BC.
None of those mistakes are in any way comparable to the stupidity of working to help Barack Obama become president of our country, nor did any of them prove as destructive as the terrible error of 2008 has been and will continue to be.
How about Woodrow Wilson who gave us:
1. The federal reserve
2. The income tax
3. Direct election of U.S. Senators
Hard to find a more destructive presidency in the 20th century!
Everything in this article is true, but we can demand that the MSM be fair and unbiased until we’re blue in the face, but it won’t make a difference. They have come out of that closet, and proudly nailed their flag to the mast for the left.
The election of Barack H. Obama and his presidency has been,
One
Big
A***d
Mistake
America
In fact, recitation of the dolorous facts isn't enough. We need to see firmly articulated:
So far, IMHO, no gots.
IOW, no one has to tell me, a far right Conservative who probably would have been a Tory during the Revolution, how frickin' bad Obama is. I am ready to believe he is the AntiChrist and will enthusiastically join the other 34 people in this country who agree with me to vote against him, even if for Romney, who strikes me as weak tea, indeed. OK? But WTF is next?
The Federal Government is "merely" about 15% too large. Is Romney going to terminate useless Cabinet Departments like Energy, Education, EPA? We need AUSTERITY. Government austerity. To accomplish it, the budget needs to be slashed, taxes lowered, regulation books burned. IMHO, Federal efficiency ... never anything to write home about ... peaked, such as it was, in the 1950's.
Who is going to downsize it back to its proper proportion vis-a-vis GNP, and exactly how? Romney? The Republicans give me the impression, despite their lame "Conservative" imitation, they want to keep their lucrative deals going and that they can beat Obama because of economic misery. I ain't so sure that's enough. And this is America's last chance before sliding into an increasingly socialist abyss as demanded by a now dominant Third-World-Majority electorate..

Your failure to translate this into español (violation of Federal Diversity Regulations) has been duly noted, you low-down racist. You are no doubt clueless that in 2035, under el Presidente Gonzalez-Gomez* (Born in 2000 in LA to two illegal aliens) that you are to be severely punished.
*Gay
Yep, that was the one that made it permanent, it ended the hope of cycles, and revivals and political revolts, it wrote our future in stone.
Fixed it.
Some freepers still think elections can save them, not to mention all those who think *they* have the right candidate.
Mental illness is making the same meaningless motion over and over.
You’ve reached Romania, gentlemen. Best case. Worst case, you’ve reached Zim.
