Wilson is dead and the people of the USA voted him in. How did that happen?

How do we get back to our founders and avoid Wilsons and Obamas?

Actually, we need to begin with fasting and prayer, call our nation to repentance, keep praying and educate the people.

If people are too ignorant to understand the great thing they have, they will be inclined to be VERY careless with it....even to the point of losing it.

You can't. These kind of men are inevitable. Which is why the US government was set up the way it was. Three different types of legislators voted in three different ways.

And have you seen how long it was suppose to take a bill to become a law? It was designed to be clumsy, inefficient and slow with lots of gridlock. That was to keep people like Wilson and Obama in check.

But now the president has become more and more powerful and the safeguards are being tossed. Bill won't pass in it's revised form? We'll just "deem it passed". Can't get a budget with all the new spending passed? Just vote for a "continuing resolution". Can't get a vote on a new law? Just have one of your departments add it as a regulation. Or just do an executive order.

We have tossed the speed bumps and are merrily on our way to tyranny.

The really sad part is that means that we can no longer undo what they have done in a constitutional manner. They can block stuff long enough that they are back in power before the mess is cleaned up.
