Having the power, and willing to use the power.....*shrugs*Power. The very thing that the Founders feared the most has come to pass.Why can't the federal government just stick to the constitution? Since when has this become a bad thing? I don't understand...republicans complain, democrats complain, our whole system is just whiners with no real solution...when the solution is right in front of us. That's right. I am talking about the damn United States Constitution. All the rules are in place...but we don't follow them. The federal government grows and grows and grows, seizes power that by design the 10th amendment is supposed to protect, etc. etc. Maybe the reason why the country is declining economically, morally, etc. is because we strayed from our foundation...the foundation of liberty secured primarily by local government.
God help us.
We have an aristocracy, or ruling elite, who think they are ordained to rule us, and no aspect of their schemes are so outrageous that they fear removal from power.
You are witness to the truth of that old adage.
Power corrupts. Soon, they will have absolute power.
And we willingly go to our demise.
I agree with everything but the last line my Friend. I know I, and many others will not go willingly. There are nearly 300 Million Privately Owned Weapons in this Country. We really do have the Power, We just need to use it. At the Ballot Box Preferably, But always with the Understanding that we will all Fight, With Force if need be, To make sure they NEVER achieve Absolute Power over anyone.
