Thank you for referencing that article Eagle Forgotten. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
I’m afraid that the only reason that people are concerned about which political party is in control of the federal government is the following. Parents are not making sure that their children are being taught the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
In fact, military issues aside, given that one of the very few powers that the Founding States gave to Congress to make its existance known to citizens on an almost daily basis is the power to deliver the mail (the Constitution’s Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I), doesn’t the idea of having political parties for the purpose of deciding policy for the US Mail Service seem a bit strange, an overkill?
The problem is that most of us have grown up under a corrupt federal government. And as a consequence of people not being taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, people are inadvertently indoctrinated to accept the idea of political parties as somehow being an intrinsic aspect of federal politics, instead of waking up to the idea that most of the federal government services that many people are now dependent on are constitutionally indefensible.
Finally, given that some folks want an Article V convention, they might want to consider the following. I think that the next amendment to the Constitution needs to have a provision which prohibits political party support for the constitutionally limited power federal government.
