I posted this earlier today to a person who asked a similar question:
What is my solution?
Obvious. Go back to the constitution.
Do a constitutional audit on the federal government. Shutter, repeal, overturn, abolish, privatize and or return to the states and the people each and every federal department, agency, commission, program, edict, act, law, regulation, court decision, etc, that is not explicitly enumerated and delegated to the federal government by the constitution.
ObamaCare repealed. Dodd Frank Repealed. The EPA, the TSA, the ATF and hundreds of other such unconstitutional fascist federal agencies shuttered and closed for good. The federal government is not authorized by the constitution to be involved in health, education, welfare, housing, mortgages, banking, farming, industry, business, transportation, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, retirement insurance, health insurance, mortgage insurance, banking insurance or any insurance or social programs whatsoever. Shut it all down, privatize it or return it to the states and the people, and that includes social security and medicare and any and all other such entitlements.
Repeal the 16th and 17th amendments, abolish the income tax and the IRS and fully restore the ninth and tenth amendments and restore the balance of powers between the states, the people and their representatives at the federal level.
The sooner the above is tackled and accomplished the sooner we save our nation.
It’s what’s going to have to happen after the coming collapse anyway should we somehow escape being taken over by some communist country.
Start by immediately declaring as unconstitutional and repealing ObamaCare, Dodd Frank and any and all socialist crap put in recently by the usurping Marxist and his socialist democrat cabal. We obviously do not need any of that crap. If the supreme court can’t or won’t do it, form a coalition of governors and state governments to refuse to allow their states to go along with it or to be coerced or extorted by the feds. The states should refuse to accept any unconstitutional funds whatsoever from the federal government. Start working on privatizing and phasing out social security and medicare. And shuttering the EPA, etc. Don’t need it and it’s killing us. Then start on the constitutional amendments to repeal the 16th and 17th.
Where’s the ‘like’ button, dammit.
As an individual I am pro-life, pro gun rights, strongly pro capitalist, pro family, religious and not too keen on gay marriage. My political views are largely conservative and I agree with everything in your post. But in the last few years I’m feeling more and more like the Republican party is leaving ME.
Every election cycle Republicans seem to get into this trap of having to debate their stance on Roe vs Wade, social programs like welfare and food stamps, previous administrations decisions and numerous other distractions.
I’m finding myself to be more aligned with the Libertarian party which advocates pretty much everything in your post. While I don’t agree with everything in their platform, I believe freedom and smaller government comes before anything else. If the Republican party would stay away from the issues that are unsolvable within the time frame of one or two administrations and avoid this trap that is set during every election cycle most Libertarians, Constitutionalists, the Tea Party and others would get on board with the Republican party.
Conservatives need to get rid of all these two faced RINO’s and put Republicans in office that can emphasize to people how many of the freedoms they have lost under a government that has run amok with federal agencies, regulations and other things that are destroying the American way of life. The real injustices going on are obvious. Quit wasting time on issues that just keep going around in circles and give the edge to these socialists trying to destroy our country.
Sorry for the rant. Hope I don’t get banned.
We need to do this. We need to clean this mess up and get back to the constitution.
But how? Who?
We probably need a strong political party with freedom in its name — hey, a Free Republican Party — and we need to have the strongest spine that ever existed, because we will be Alinsky mocked to shreds. We have to have gonads bigger than the planet.
And we need to teach, teach, teach, and patiently teach — what this country really means, historically and personally , to each citizen.
We need to drop any emphasis on anything not in the constitution and stick to a government that doesn’t have any powers not enumerated therein.
