For those of you who are confused. The United States was intended to be a constitutional republic. That is what it says in the Constitution. However, the progressives that followed passed the 12th and the 17th amendment FUNDAMENTALLY changed the Republic into a Democracy.

The poor and the underclass are growing.Maybe that's what happens when criminal invaders with no skills are let into the country.

Don’t forget the Federal Reserve. Printed, fiat money at manipulated interest rates funds the whole Fed.gov, progressive, social-engineering structure.
The foundation of freedom is a monetary system that government, politicians and elites can not control.

Did not read it, I have no care to. I used to donate to the Rutherford Institute heavily. Suddenly, John went off the deep end with his “violent campaign” against everything. No more, John has lost his way.

I read a few paragraphs and decided 'bullshit'.
I did skim down to this:
"fearful, controlled, pacified zombies"
Maybe some of us; but otherwise...
,,,bullshit.

Nonsense!
The constitution still prohibits democratic shenanigans.
Many SCOTUS decisions need to be revisited due to failure to uphold constitutional principles.

Yeah. Without that pesky 17th Amendment, our state legislators would get far richer on the proceeds from picking senators.

What would it cost George Soros and several other billionaires to have state legislators choose their senators of choice?

Hey Whitehead - you are an intellectual midget and can KMA.

Lunatic ramblings of a 3rd year sociology major.

Haven’t read much from Whitehead for a few years, but in regards to the article, I agree with him and President Trump that the *investors and sponsors* behind the big media companies have too much control over too many morons satisfied with being controlled.

That person needs to step away from the keyboard.
He spends a good deal of time making movie analogies, then talks at length about how people are stupid and controlled by their TV watching.
I like to make movie analogies, but only sparingly when talking about real issues. This person is delusional.
