Elections no longer serve their intended purpose, to temporarily empower others to make law on our behalf, subject to constitutional limitations. Obama plainly said last week that the outcome of the midterms meant the exact opposite of its results. He will issue diktats on behalf of those who didnt vote! His first act was to lead a barbarian invasion across our southern border.
A last ditch defense of our republic demands two actions.
First, the virus that afflicts our governing body, Barack Obama, must be excised. If not, he will continue his scorched earth demonic march through our God given rights. Just as the first right of man is to self-defense, the first right of civil society is to defend itself from wanton destruction. That means impeachment and removal of Obama. If you dont see it as a necessary first step, or think it too difficult, go tell your children right now that slavery is their future and you wont do anything about it. Think slavery is too strong a term? It isnt. Its there in our Declaration of Independence, and it wasnt the first time our patriot founders used the term. Look it up.
Second, we must restore the federal republic. The source of our national woe is the 17th amendment which established a popularly derived, bicameral congress. Make no mistake, the 17th launched our new life as a democratic republic, the sort of unstable government which our framers purposely rejected. The remainder of their layered defense of liberty, consisting of horizontal division of power among three branches, checks in the form of executive vetoes, congressional two thirds overrides, and limitation/regulation of Scotus, have proved insufficient to secure our freedoms.
Excellent book. Another is “A Failure of Civility”.
The sum total of comments from Hussein, Beohner and McConnell since the election show that the game show government we've all become used to will go on.
I am more convinced than ever that an Article V end run around congress is our only hope.
I’ll check that out. Thanks.
