One recent good example of the fight--struggle we're in is the new legislation on Campaign Finance Reform. If we followed the founders original intent--LAW...all US Senators would be appointed by the semi-sovereign states of the Union and they would be obligated trustees to their state and our national constitution and not special interest groups and partisan election politics, parties or mobacracy---pandering treacheries and foreign treason and bribes. Why the 18th amendment---directly electing and exposing senators to the public and foreign interest pressure groups---did away with this protection-safegaurd was a major error and needs to be corrected. Controlling the disease and outlawing the cure--prevention is common aspect to a prolonged--predetermined terminal outcome...death to liberty--freedom--rule of law-constitution.
More patent medicine--witch doctors hoaxes killing the Republic...
Smaller states are heavily more protected--represented in the Senate and the electoral college by having a minimum 3 electoral vote(2/senator...1/representative) dilutes the power hold larger states would have to tip the balance in their favor/tyranny. Hillary Clinton wants to do away with the electoral college too---devilcattlery---rustling--branding con artistry too!
Also...
no standing armies--we have the SS-school system zombie-nazis...Dept of INDOCTRINATION---
much--much--worse than an invading--standing army/junta!
Basically Clinton was the president of a parallel world that eventually will become so big it will swallow up everything that gets in its way.
we are the few--informed--ready--fighting!
doesn't that money--promises seem like a lot of dirty deal---pandering!
What is pandering---us/law--rights on the auction block with counterfiet money--coupons--votes...give/take-aways!
The supreme court judges are appointed and Clarence Thomas carries the constitution on him--in his pocket!
libertarians are right of liberals---left of anarchists/anarchy...
opposites of conservatism!
You don't have a clue and as such will be a waste of my time to comunicate with you further.
Yes, I discovered this too long ago with the libertyphobes. I think they have some sort of mental disorder where they get extreme pleasure from intentionally lying about libertarian thought.
Stealth liberals---libertarians(some-most...not all)!
This had the effect of protecting the power of States in the balance of power with the Federal government. I don't think it is a coincidence that the Federal government gained the upper hand following its ratification.
The 17th Amendment weakened the Tenth Amendment and helped to turn this country from a Constitutional Republic into a Federal Democracy.
Henry ClayClay followed the Hamiltonian view of government(Hamilton even went as far to suggest that the US should move to a benign monarchy). The 'American System' championed 'internal improvements' which failed drastically in the 1830s, 40s, and 50s to the point that many states actually banned 'internal improvements' at the state level within their constitutions. Until the War, this idea was not even considered seriously at the federal level. Want to take a guess who Clay's student was and championed 'internal improvements'?
Although Clay was a practical politician of flexible rather than rigid beliefs, he did emerge as the great champion of the "American System." He called for a protective tariff in support of home manufactures, internal improvements (federal aid to local road and canal projects), a strong national bank, and distribution of the proceeds of federal land sales to the states.
So yes, in the position this nation is in with the Senators wanting the pork for their state (internal improvements) it would be very hard to return to the original ideals of the Constitution. Hard but necessary
from then on we have become some sort of sick democracy.
Thanks!
