James Madison, hailed as the father of our Constitution, is probably turning over in his grave given the shredding of our God-given constitutional values and principles upon which we were founded.
Madison recognized that since concentrating power leads to tyranny, dividing government power was essential for the preservation of liberty. He will never be accused of being short-sighted about the threats government would pose to the people.
Madison and others set out deliberately to design a form of government that would limit abuses and withstand the test of time. America now faces that test, and the central question that has emerged is: Will we pass the test, or will we fall into the abyss of history as other nation-states have done?
Along with other framers of our nation’s Constitution, Madison argued for dividing federal power among the three branches of our government — legislative, executive, and judicial. These should be studied and clearly understood by every American schoolchild from an early age, but to our nation’s and our children’s detriment, they are not.
And what is even less understood is why the Founders adopted a structure that they knew would result in conflict among the branches. In truth, the constitutional structure was designed not to enhance the efficiency of the government but to impede the exercise of raw governmental power and to protect the liberty of the people.

The founder required a natural born citizen as President.
We have already failed.
Thank you for posting that.
Trust the original plan! What a concept. Thanks Flynn.
I don’t disagree with Flynn on this.
And We The People need to quit complaining about the politicians and instead vote them out, or better still, get involved intimately and directly in the constitutional republic that the eminent Benjamin Franklin warned us about keeping.
In order to vote out the criminals, and get good people elected, the elections have to be clean. Which means the criminals need to be removed, and clean and honest elections mandated.
Good article. Flynn and others are also emphasizing that it will take the MAGA people everywhere getting involved to clean out the riff raff and ensure free and honest elections.
This means at the city, county, and state level. Attend those meetings, and make sure that these people are acting in the best interest of the citizens. And especially don’t forget the school boards.
It the government isn’t doing what the citizens want, the citizens need to show up and peacefully discuss the issues. If the representatives won’t change, then run yourself or back some one who will.
And don’t forget about the County Precinct Chair project — to establish MAGA control of the GOP and get rid of the RINOs.
While I generally agree here I don't think the character of the people is the root of the issue. The root of the issue is the federal government has far far too much power and control over the people. There are far too many government agencies, too much police power, too much tax money and far too many laws. In the end it's impossible to keep bad people out of government so the answer is make sure they have as minimal amount of power as possible and still have a functioning society. Absolute minimal government is the answer. Do this and bad people aren't interested and everything else takes care of itself.
This is the first big hurdle to be cleared. The extreme actions opposing the Arizona audit only prove that we are under the grip of a powerful coup d'etat that is willing to pull out all stops to hide their perfidy. All the GOP talk about them sweeping the House and Senate in '22 is just talk if the enemy's aggressive battle against honest elections is not met with equal determination.
The 'Rats barely hold the House and only control the Senate with the intervention of the VP... yet they act as if they have a mandate to overthrow the Constitution! It could not be clearer: if the citizens do not step up the usurpers will win - by force if need be. Raiding Rudy Giuliani's house and leaving convictive evidence against Hunter Biden behind could not send a clearer message: We will destroy anyone who gets in our way!
There is no justice in the Dept of Justice - only persecution. With William Cohen's raid and subsequent arrest and now Rudy's raid, Donald Trump can not enjoy attorney client privilege; the coup hopes that it has whatever they need on Trump if he runs again. The media is just a group of traitors, already trying to destroy with lies Ron DeSantis and Matt Gaetz.
Perilous times!
p.s. I am glad to see General Flynn stepping up and I hope my encouraging him to do so was decisive. He can be a great rallying point for resistance to this vicious coup.
“There are far too many government agencies, too much police power”
A while back, a list of federal agencies that have SWAT teams was posted.
It was wild, like the post office, dept of education, etc.
I read it 30 years ago and it could see ahead to where we are.....Most interesting....
So what?
Uh huh I can just see the yellowbelly Gopigs acting out Patrick Henry.
Cowards and weaklings are born to be slaves - may they rot and be forgotten.
50 years ago I saw the ruin of the US military would come about by minority preference in its ranks.

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:
“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to ourDr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”
The republic ended on 20Jan2021 when a usurper took the presidency by fraud.
All who acknowledge the usurper as president commit treason against the United States.
LOOKS GOOD!
