The basic premise of the statement was "are these posters who want Democrats in control so that the government to collapse the reason we have such a mess in Congress today??"
Those who want Democrats in control aren't merely being "critical" of Bush

No, they aren't just being critical of President Bush .. IMO they would be critical REGARDLESS of who was President

IMO their intention is to bring down the government so that they can take over and run it the way THEY think it should be

IMO there is no difference between what they want and a Dictator .. which is a far cry of what Our Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution ..

I do not claim to be an expert on the Constitution but I think when the Founding Fathers wrote it their intention was to keep a balance of government .. I think they knew that not everyone would be happy .. but they wanted to avoid any kind of Dictatorship

I oftent wonder about whether or not a lot of Bush fans wouldn't like a Dictatorship themselves. I concerns me when they cheer actions of his without a thought as to how they'd oppose those actions if a Democrat took them. And sooner or later, another Democrat will be in the White House, with all of those same powers and precedents of Bush's lining his or her path. What then?

As far as understanding the Constitution, the 10th Ammendment is a great place to look to for the spirit of it...

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
