In what is arguably one of the worst political events in US history, the election of Obama, we are forced to stand by and watch the piecemeal destruction of our very nation, the very political, economic dismantling of this great country of ours, the greatest country in history, by what is the greatest, most insidious nemesis America has ever known or faced.
The wisdom and sagacity of our forefathers providing for the all-encompassing political contingencies as law of the land having stood the test of time, yet not having foreseen, imagined the nightmare scenario which we are in midst of enduring, may not endure through.
Our forefathers having confidence in the people as fundamental principle of government, the decision of the people as being sacrosanct, averse to tampering with terms of elected officials thus having made no provisions in which to reverse, hold up to inspection, the validity of their decision, in mid-term, with a constitutional provision of 'Motion of No Confidence' that has worked so well in Parliamentary forms of government, such as Great Britian.
Indeed, despite overwhelming unpopularity of our past presidents in serving out their full term of election, our country has survived intact.
But with the current White House occupant I am not very secure that our country will manage to recover from the cataclysmic forces ripping it apart from within and without, the deliberate, irreparable evisceration, destruction of the very institutions that has made America the shining city on the hill, this bastard of a politician who dares call himself a citizen let alone the leader of the greatest country ever.
Every day I cringe, every day I grit my teeth with every decision this bastard president takes monumental jubilation in tearing down all that which through the centuries, our very patriots, soldiers, every day citizens paid for with their lives, every day I am filled with worry, sorrow pondering the fate of our country, wondering how we are going to endure, survive another two years of such wanton, deliberate political, economic implosion of the United States of America.
Similar discussions took place here when Toon beat impeachment, and some of us were saying that it’ll only get worse with the next one, while others defended the current system as they are doing above and below. It hasn’t gotten worse with this next one?
Don’t you think that the new democracies of Europe such as Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and others looked at our, to you, perfect Constitution when they composed theirs in the past 20 years, and saw the mess we are in?
Whenever I read European newspapers, one theme in published opinions about America jumps out: serious reform is impossible in the United States, say all the sages across the Continent. Tell me that they are all “stupid”.
Our system of government is fine the way it is. The last thing we need is Italian-style instability.
It all depends on the church. Many of them today are very liberal.
No. The perfect system is only as good as the state of its culture. There will be no shortage of Obamas as long as our people are fools.
Our system of government was specifically designed to prevent narrow interest groups from accumulating oppressive power. The best system in the world can’t prevent this if people are seduced into surrendering their rights and freedoms in return for politician’s promises of goodies, special privileges, and revenge for past injustices.
I'd be in favor of an IQ or common sense check as a condition of voting (!), but don't want a "no-confidence" check on Presidential power. Polls are good enough.
