Sir, it’s not “hatred” that motivated my response.
It’s simply love of truth.
So, if you love the truth, you should agree with what Lincoln, and Jefferson, and many others said about the extreme dangers of an unchecked judiciary.
Which is the point of this thread.
The left will tell you that these were all old white guys speaking for the privileged whites of the time ignoring the blacks and the red men men who together were more numerous than the whites. Hence they only spoke for themselves. We have had the longest running government in modern history and we are now looking for something that is described as better, that has had a proven bad record? Tell me we aren’t that F’d up. Plus, our over whelming generosity is destroying us, time to turn off the faucet before we are all living in cardboard shacks and rummaging in the town dump. Our century is over, time to re awaken.
Indeed.
Has “Government of THE PEOPLE, by THE PEOPLE, for THE PEOPLE” perished from the earth? Yes. Some time ago but we, in the hustings, are just now noticing.
Most likely it is too lat to fix it, as well.
I hate to be a pessimist but, ‘next year’?
Do you see any clamor from the Congress (let alone the GOP/RNC) to restore any Rights, Liberty and/or Freedom they have taken from We the People?
Do you see the next President faithfully executing the Law, prosecuting the law-breakers (especially in govt)? Or, even rescinding each and every illegal EO?
Do you see the courts faithfully following the Constitution, basing their rulings and reading from the same instead of ‘precedent’ and their own ideals?
Hell, D.C. can’t even balance the budget, minimize the overlap and redundancy, let alone zero-out a SINGLE department/agency (they’ve been talking the DoEd for 30yrs+ for God’s sake).
Sorry, she died with Lincoln in all but name. Her bones were picked clean in the early 1900’s with the income tax, SS and Federal Reserve and her grave desecrated in the 1950-60’s with the welfare state, Voting Rights Act and the like. Long live the Republic.
With the phrase to the right of your come, I believe that you answered your question.
Well, I for one will keep fighting until the Lord settles things one way or the other.
I’ve got kids and grandkids.
Never surrender

Amen.

Thanks!
Bravo sierra, grasshopper. Don't use Lincoln when you speak of freedom and the right of the people. Lincoln took away the South's right of self government through invasion, subjugation and occupation. He didn't believe in government "by the people". Period.
So, you’re going to continue your tirade against Lincoln, while ignoring the fact that our free republic, in our day and time, is being turned into a judicial oligarchy.
Fine. It’s your choice.
You know, you could exercise some of that rebel spirit against the tyrants of our day. Couldn’t you?
Ping
bfl
And do what precisely? Vote? That's a joke.
2012 was rigged and gave us 4 more years of the muslim commie.
In 2014 the voters gave congress to the repubs only to watch them help 0bama continue his agenda.
What's your solution? Shall we storm the Bastille?
I know the solution but most people, probably including you, scream like little girls when I tell them, but here goes anyway: a few states have to secede declaring that "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Of course, Jefferson also recognized that "mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." Therefore, I don't have much hope that my fellow freedom lovers will lift a finger to do anything other than whine on the internet or push the button on an electronic voting machine that has already been preprogrammed to vote for clinton.
The present system can never be returned to a by, for and of the people form of government. This will become glaringly apparent after the rigged election of 2016 seats thunder thighs in the Oval Office.
The system is broken beyond repair and it was your hero, Lincoln, that got the ball of all powerful, big central government rolling and I hope the bastard is burning in hell.
You’re blaming Lincoln for Obama???
We really have lost the country...
Lincoln got it started. Try reading some history. Oh, and by the way, the country has been lost for quite some time.
