The Founding Fathers were far wiser than many of us today about human nature, for indeed “government” is only the expression of the motivations and decisions of the humans we put in office. The truth is that humans crave power, and when we allow humans to have a monopoly on the use of deadly force, their ability to use that power must be kept in chains.
Our present government is a threat because it is giving itself permission to remove those chains. The Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that a government agency will seek to expand its power until something more powerful stops it.
While the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were written with the PRESUMPTION OF INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY that is the inalienable right of each citizen
Government acts with the presumption of total power over each citizen. It is easy for one branch of government to give other branches permission to expand or maintain their power. It is difficult, for one branch to reign in the power of another branch. This is made even more difficult when a common, power-oriented, ideology pervades members of each branch.
The primary limit on government power is the limited money it can spend. When government gives itself power to create near-infinite amounts of money through an “independent” central bank, then there is very little to limit near-infinite amounts of government in all forms, particularly the groups that it will give subsidies to and the bureaucrats it will employ.
Every day more people are coming to the judgment that a carefully organized effort to repair the constitution via the States’ power to propose and ratify amendments has less risk to our liberty and prosperity than the present trajectory of the federal government and especially the federal bureaucracy.
The first order of business of an Article V Convention must be to limit government’s ability to spend and create near-infinite amounts of money.
Americans ARE the biggest fools in history.
Americans are letting America’s first Muslim president destroy their rights in front of them for. ALL to see. Hussein Obama and his Muslim terrorist supporters cannot be successful in enslaving us without having almost total control of the presstitutes. So far, Hussein has nothing to worry about
It’s getting hotter in the pot but the American public continues to let it happen.
We know there are laws against repressing free speech. So where are the prosecutions for those attempting to do this?
The federal government spending tax dollars to support yet another leftist boondoggle....
Disregard what these “PC” idiots tell you. The INTERNET LIVES!
This description fits a lot of what the National Science Foundation pays for. However, in this specific instance, it sounds to me more like the satisfaction of governmental curiosity at public expense.
Which Constitution did we get?
It makes no difference what we were given, it only matters whether Americans are stupid enough to sit back and let America’s first Muslim President take their rights away.
The Judge asked the question what Hussein Obama’s intentions are. Nobody seems to get it. Hussein and his Muslim handlers intend to change our system of laws to enslave us with our own government
I bet you didn’t notice that Hussein continues to arm Al Qaeda in Syria with American weapons. The Muslims are also planning on defeating America on the battlefield using our weapons.
