Republic, we currently don’t live in a Republic.

We live in an Insane Asylum.

So far, those that love America and God have lost every single battle against those that hate America and God.

It’s not looking good.

We are now living in a lawless country, in case one is uncertain about this.

Not likely.

We the people don’t have any representation.

The Democrats are representing the illegal aliens.
The Republicans are representing their employers.

No one is representing the citizens.

While I would certainly prefer to say YES..., I suspect that I will be wrong given any review of recorded human history!

Because they change the rules, as evil always does. Our leaders are too rich to care.

It will require watering that tree of liberty. Voting is not going to do it.

the Constitution and laws are not immune from fascists who, under color of law, ignore their plain meaning...

It takes two to tango here. The aforementioned fascists are elected by an unvirtuous or Constitutionally ignorant electorate. The combination of that electorate and those fascists are our undoing - a powerful combo.

The perhaps we should dissolve the position of “leader”.

Personally I do not need any leaders, especially if the purpose of that leader or leaders is to enrich themselves and destroy me.

I no longer wish to give any human being power over me. I do not want “representation”.

But could at least those who call themselves Republicans wipe the sleep out of their eyes and rise up in defense of liberty and this our rapidly disintegrating America?

Too busy. Too lazy. Not really that interested.

American conservatives just don't have what it takes to save this Nation. They can rise only to the blogging level.

America has NOT BEEN a Republic for the longest time...
It has become a democracy... i.e. Mob Rule by mobsters..
THATS where the Coup d’etat happened..

In the Civil War the South was fighting for State Rights..
The North was fight AGAINST State Rights.. still is..

American History has been totally re-arraigned.. Perverted..
AND NOBODY CARES..... democracy IS the political disease that breeds socialism..
Socialism is just a symptom of democracy..

The filthy ugly regrettable poison of democracy has KILLED this Republic..
The ugly nastiness of the UK, Canada, all of URP , Russia and China..
is at large on this planet..


NO relief is forth coming on this planet UNTIL the filth of democracy is found out..... i.e. diagnosed..
by historic academia.....


Democracy is the road to socialism. -Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx

Yup!

And it's getting worse.

We elected a majority of our own and are now in a worse situation than ever.

After nearly 8 years of being yanked around like a rag doll by “O” and his criminal associates, we finally succeeded to a resounding majority in the last election ... and I STILL have to go to the wall?

All these bloggers, pundits, talking heads, and commenters who say “Are we in danger of losing our republic?” are blind fools, in my opinion, or they are lying to themselves to avoid facing the truth. And that truth is that our republic is as dead as the Founders, and has been for some time. After the gay marriage ruling and the craven capitulation to that ruling by virtually every elected official, federal and local, anyone who persists in the delusion that we live by rule of law is beyond foolish. We could argue all day about the exact point in which the Republic began to die, but there is no rational argument now other than that it is dead. The heart is not beating, blood is pooling and rigor mortis has set in, but the doctors and nurses are standing around asking “Are we in danger of losing our patient?”
