Rubio on Rush said something yesterday which I thought accurately portrays the state of the World: America is mankind’s last hope...if we go down, there is no place to go.
Interestingly, Russia had a constitution very similar to ours. The problem was the Commies did not follow it.
We are rapidly moving in that direction as we are not following ours now either. What were a few changes here and there like the direct election of Senators and the passage of other amendments which included the “income tax amendment” morphed into not bothering to change the language in the bill of rights, rather, using laws which were later found to be “constitutional” such as the Patriot Act and condemnation of property to allow for higher taxes to more quickly water down or defeat enumerated rights. Now we allow a president to rule by edict without regard to any bounds and there is a ho hum reaction by both parties.
