At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787,  Franklin was queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention,  a lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.”  Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”

The answer is no, we can't keep it.

A people that elects the likes of Barack Obama, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan, Susan Collins, John McCain etc., etc., has no one to blame but themselves for the total disaster that is their government.

We are a nation headed for the cliff at high speed. It is only a matter of time.

The Founders overlooked a provision to appoint a Dictator as the Roman Republic did on occasion for a limited term to solve specific problems.

The problems of getting the government out of the medical insurance business, annihilating the Federal judiciary and fighting mooselimb terrorists can ONLY be solved via DICTATORSHIP.

Presidents have assumed dictatorial powers before, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Obama.

TRUMP had better wake the f@#k up and start getting busy.
