Solutions?
Term limits;
Sunset clauses for non-essential legislation;
Eliminate/reduce various agencies and bureaucracies through dis-funding;
Constitutional Amendment to repeal the 17th Amendment;
Constitutional Amendment to require a balanced budget, much like many States have;
Limited funding for re-election dollars. Yes, I know that supposedly runs contrary to the 1st Amendment, but 1st needs to be refine so as not all inclusive and and hurt our system;
Re-affirmation of the 9th and 10th Amendments for States' Rights;
All federal government employees, including the President, live within all legislation. I think that was passed by the Newt's "Contract for America", but wasn't signed into law. If it was...what happened?
More adjustment of the welfare system. Had a good start with the Republican congress during Clinton years, but is now being abused again;
Either a flat tax or a sales tax to make the some 49% who don't pay into the system, PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE FOR THE SAME SERVICES PROVIDED!
I can go on if you make me King of America for just one day. Give me 24 hours of absolute power and I could give us "hope" and "change" back to our Constitutional principles that changed the world for the better. The "gimmes" will have to depend on the generosity of the Churches and Charitable organizations.
Okay, I may need 48 hours, but after that, I'm kicked out.
Another Satisfied Customer!

Check my home page links. There are a series of six 'Serious Editorials'. Work your way from 6, backwards, because they improved over time. #1 and #2 are barely acceptable, but they get much stronger.
Oh, by the way, the word 'innuendo' is, in fact, an innuendo. LOL
If you ever head up to SE Tennessee, drop me a PM.
That's right. Just look at the people who are making policy for Obama, and then at what they clearly believe. Every single one of them is possessed of the radical Progressive ideology and their leader (not Obama really, but Valerie Jarrett) has the cold dead eyes of a shark and at least according to insider accounts, a corresponding personality.
Add me to the ping list if you please!
Will do, bro!
You're still a sick puppy...har!
So what do you think of my suggestions? I once posted many more specifics, but the above is the quick down and dirty. Can I count on your vote to make me King for just 48 hours? After which, the military gets to escort me out of the White House or where ever I set up my Kingdom for a day or two - I'm thinking Maui. If I have your vote, I also will make you owner of the hottest nightclub in your area.
Okay, so power does corrupt, but you'd be the coolest guy in the club (I know - I owned a niteclub) and I have returned us to our Constitutional roots. What's the down side?
Forgot to mention that all my decrees cannot be undone.
You get my vote. Especially the part about “cannot be undone”. :)
Thanks for the thread, Lazamataz. Excellent essay.
And thanks for the 2010 Anti-War rally link, Islander7. Unbelievable collection of photos there.
Good stuff and well written. You should be a “community organizer”. Oh wait, you’re not the correct ethnicity. Or maybe you are. Have you extra melanin in your skin as opposed to evil western Europeans? Is it black, brown, yellow, or maybe purple? Purple would be good ‘cause then you could represent all, including “alternative lifestyles”, to be politically correct. Or for those not so inclined, queers.
Make me #106 perfesser!
