The constitution largely died in the 1930s after FDR threatened to pack the SCOTUS with New Deal ideologues of the left. Read the dissents of McReynolds, Sutherland, van de Vanter and Butler. There have been a few small resurrections such as the DC RTKBA case. There have been foul latter day developments such as rights to lavender nuptials and to kill unborn children.
BE, I think that you and I could actually have a lot in common, but your method of communicating your point is self-defeating.
You think that everyone with a different way of looking at things is an enemy of the state, and quite frankly, you are wrong.
I think that the state has a lot of problems that need to be addressed, and I am here on the FR to discuss that. I don’t mind being wrong, if it helps us all realize the truth.
I agree with your perspective on FDR and the USC. I think that is the biggest problem that we as a country face today.
There are other problems that we need to address as well, but resetting the USG to a constitutionally limited govt is the biggest challenge we face.
At this time, I think the things that RP has said about US foreign policy, and auditing the Fed are the kinds of reform that would help get the national debt paid down.
The national debt is how much...$60,000,000,000,000?
To continue operating this country the way we have been is suicidal. Something has to be done to pay off the debt.
If you have some other ideas on how to do that, then by all means, let us hear it.
Have you ever seen this documentary called I.O.U.S.A.?
Here’s part 1 of 9: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DcgjC5nVb8
The rest of the film is in the “related videos” section.
The US debt is unsustainable.
This is another one of the most important issues of our lifetimes. If we don’t do something about it, the US is likely to default and become irrelevant.
That is not something that I want for my country, and I know you don’t either.
