The most beautiful thing about our beautiful Constitution is the separation of powers, both horizontally between branches and vertically (federalism). As Lord Acton said, power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It has become the job of thinking people to force a mirror into the hands of the unthinking masses who would unwittingly vote for more of what we have now.
People should pick up a copy of the Federalist Papers and (re?)gain some understanding of what we were founded to be. Spoiler alert - the founders did not have a polyglot dystopian shithole in mind.
Let’s work together to reclaim our constitutional Republic from its thieves. We are a constitutionally limited representative Democratic Republic with a communist infestation in full swing. Our founders wrote of the dangers of mob rule in a direct democracy. I also cringe when people call the United States a democracy. Thanks for your article.
I luv your comment of polyglot dystopian shithole.... lol. So much has been loss in this institutional dumb down that is so across the board that I fear it will take decades to turn around. Now with what certain elements call the uniparty we are in such a delusion that will gobble us up. I try to bring a interesting p.o.v so folks can go hmmm.....
Thanks, it’s a funny line. I wish I came up with it. Don’t remember where I first heard that. And yes, what the Left has put asunder will take some time to put back together.
They can’t be reasoned with. Only beaten. Vital to never stop trying because there’s nowhere better to go.
We have been using some words for so long that we do not remember what they actually mean. Democracy and Republic are heading that list. The extract you have found on the Republic being an "EMPIRE OF LAWS" is extremely powerful. That's not what we have been told but that's what we are living. And I don't mean here the USA but the whole not very "democractic" world.
AA friend of mine says that he who controls the language controls society. Yes what Mr. Adams struck me and made pause. Thank you for the great penetrating response. Cheers
