It is the Constitution that allowed us to get to this point. Should have stuck with the articles,
And that is the crux of the whole problem - it is the US Constitution that got us to this point. It is in reality a flawed document - seriously flawed - because it did not anticipate the level of corruption and laziness that could occur over time and provide a workable mechanism to overcome it. The checks and balances are fine but they were never strong enough to handle the concentration of power in a single core person or group (Lincolns suspension of freedom of speech, Roosevelts power grabs, Johnson’s slavery of blacks via federal purse).
I suggest the US Constitution needs to be revoked. And something new put in its place - or the states left to their own ends. Conservatives will some day wake to realize they were fighting on the wrong side of the fence - we should not be fighting to protect the Constitution. We should be fighting to protect individual freedom. These are two very different things when you look at the raw elements of each.
The constitution, or idea of such a document, is in itself slavery to one way of thinking - a corrupt human way. It was not from God or of God. A few of the founding fathers invoked God - but look at their personal lives? How can many of them have known God based on their behaviors? In the end they were just humans, like us. And we all fall short. So until The Lord himself steps foot back on this Earth, no piece of paper will ever give us freedom.
