So you've laid out the problems as you see them and the PC dangers. What is the answer to the problems?

"What is the answer to the problems?"

Political correctness is just another tool, although a very effective one, that is a natural continuum, from the party line. We are seeing it before our very eyes. It is a heritage of communism, but as would be expected, Americans don't see this.

Since the American people are the problem, as they are participating in and running faster towards socialism and Marxist tenets, it will not be "fixed." There is a grasping hope for some that the big government socialists will be run out of the Republican party power structures and start electing real small government politicians to begin the decades long process of restoring the Republic. That makes no sense, as Americans are growing in number that believe it's fine to have the government steal their neighbors hard earned money for their domestic personal bliss and give it to them in a variety of forms. It's so bad they believe it's their God-given right.

Not to mention we are witnessing a president facilitating nothing less than a foreign invasion whose goal is to takeover and annex portions of the U.S. to further the balkanization of America, and institute the full-blown nanny welfare state. Heck, they actually think it belongs to them.

Bush has given full license to law-breaking, and finished off any resemblence of the rule of law, foundational Constitutional pillars by turning his back on the Clinton crimes and throwing all accountability in the sea of never-to-return.

The following mission statement, when compared to Bush's socialist run for big government nannyhood, seems so far away that it sadly almost becomes laughable.

There are many silent Americans that have thrown up their hands and turned there backs on any hope of restoring the Republic, and, when confronted with the weak, corrupt, and pitiful candidates they are presented with, it's hard to blame them. However, one day they will be sorry they didn't storm the gates so to speak and throw the bums out.

Again, I could outline many solutions, but it would be a waste of time, knowing the dreadful state of Americans love of socialism, ignorance and their determination to run over the cliff to slavery, totalitarianism and almost a gleeful push to kill a once great Republic. We are witnessing the fall of it. There can be no world government with a strong vibrant Republic. Don't take my word for it, take theirs.

ABOUT FREE REPUBLIC
What is our mission? Free Republic is dedicated to reversing the trend of unconstitutional government expansion and is advocating a complete restoration of our constitutional republic. Listed below are some of the issues we feel strongly about.

Basically, we believe that the Founders designed our system of government in the form of a constitutionally limited republic, with maximum freedom intended for the people and minimum government control or interference into our personal lives and business affairs.

The united states of America was intended to be a federation of sovereign states, each with its own constitution and state government. Governments at all levels -- federal, state and local -- were to be controlled by the people. Our Constitution explicitly restricts the power of our federal government; and our Bill of Rights guarantees that NO government may infringe upon our God given unalienable rights. This is to ensure that the real power remains close to home, with the states, the local governments and always in the hands of the people.

We the People have granted our federal government limited powers to oversee certain things, such as national defense, interstate commerce, the postal service, the coining of money, and the operation of a court system. Most other powers now in the hands of the federal government were illegally usurped from the states and from the people.

Somehow, over the years, our guiding principles of law, as set forth in the Constitution, have been eroded to the point that the federal government now has total control -- leaving the states impotent and the people as captive servants to the federal government. This must be reversed if we are to survive as a free Republic and a free people.

We at Free Republic are determined to return the Constitution to its rightful place as the Supreme Law of the land as the Founders intended.

It is not necessary for everyone to hold the same views to be members of Free Republic, however, many of us do share many of the following as common beliefs and goals:

• The preservation and complete restoration of our Constitution and Bill of Rights with special emphasis on the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth amendments and, of course, our right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness -- free of government intervention.

• We call for the repeal of the 17th amendment, which will reverse the independence of the Senate and reestablish the Senate as a representative of the State governments, as intended by the Founding Fathers. This arrangement was intended to be a critical check against illegal federal expansion over the States, and the people residing in the various States, and will act to return the powers not granted to the federal government, as enumerated in the Constitution, to the states.

• We call for the repeal of the 16th amendment and to abolish the income tax and the IRS. Revenues to the federal government should come from excise taxes and tariffs.

• We call for the repeal of the Emergency and War Powers Acts, an end to all national emergencies and a ban on the unilateral creation of law by Presidential edict. We are also working for the repeal all laws created by unconstitutional and extraconstitutional devices, such as Executive Order or Presidential Directive.

  Repeal of the war and emergency powers acts and the various states of national emergencies will allow the abolishing of all unconstitutional federal law, agencies and departments. This will return us to a Federalist system of government and return many responsibilities to the States and personal rights to the citizens.

  A return to a strictly Constitutional form of federal government will automatically repeal and abolish all unconstitutional federal involvement in states issues such as: crime, health, education, welfare and the environment. The Tenth Amendment will again be in effect, which will bar all federal attempts at legislating social issues. This will also require that social programs such as Social Security, welfare and Medicare be repealed. So too, will most federal subsidies.

• We further call for the rescinding of all treaties and/or International Agreements which are not in perfect agreement with the federal government’s Constitutionally mandated task of protecting the rights of the people.

• We believe that the United States should disassociate itself from the U.N. and that the U.N. should be forced to leave the United States. Furthermore, we demand that the federal government refrain from meddling in the business and squabbles of foreign nations, unless there is an imminent threat to the people of the United States.

• We also call for the strengthening of our military and defenses; the effective control over illegal immigration and smuggling; the paying down the national debt; and strict control over federal agencies like the CIA and the FBI.
