America is toast. Our now pitiful nation morphed from a Republic to a Democracy and now to a ‘Peoples’ Republic.
One of the most jarring examples of how corrupt our system is can be observed in House of Cards series. That’s not really their point, but that point comes across nonetheless. That show is scary accurate - about so much.
And the national Republican Party is one of the key culprits. I guess the late George C. Wallace was right when he said there’s “not a dime’s worth of difference” between the two parties. Our little GOP is too cowardly to fight over any issue of substance. Yields in advance
I think a good case can be made that when the Amendment to the U. S. Constitution was passed that allowed for Direct Election of U.S. Senators we started moving down the road away from the Republic form of Government.
Both Political Parties favor Big Government and that has been the case all along, much more so the last 80 years.
The Biggest single the the Federal Government has going for it is to keep us in a Perpetual State of Fear, whether that is Communism, Global Warming or Terrorism. It’s the excuse that is used for more Government, More Police State Powers and a Further dilution of of our Rights under the Constitution.
