Eroding Freedoms

First we had the U.S. Supreme Court quoting precedents from foreign courts in their opinions. Next, a liberal group funded and coordinated by wealthy Democrats seeks to abolish the Electoral College in Colorado by apportioning electoral votes. Now we have the specter of foreigners monitoring our Presidential elections. These incremental erosions of the fundamental pillars of American government are frightening and heinous. What is equally terrifying is the roar of deafening silence from the Peoples’ representatives in Washington, D.C. When is someone, anyone going to display some backbone in defending the tenets which have protected this republic for the past 200 years? What, exactly is our military fighting around the world to protect anyway? The ‘right’ for France to pick our next President? Good grief, Charlie Brown. I hate to say it, but it appears that everyone in Washington is on the take. I have not heard anyone seriously stand up to defend the U.S. Constitution in a long, long time. I’m not talking about a few minutes of media rhetoric, but rather serious legislation to save our hallowed institutions. Executive orders to put an end to this chicanery. Constitutional amendments to place some things off limits to more tomfoolery. Once our freedoms slip away it is damned hard to get them back. Look at what the Colonies had to resort to. I would love to see someone draw a line in the sand (or across the Potomac) and stake their political fortune on that position. Outside of our security, protecting our basic form of government dwarfs any other issue in importance, yet it seems that no one with any ability to preserve it can see that the emperor has no clothes. That, or else they are afraid to speak up for some reason. And if that is the case, we are even worse off than I thought. God save this hallowed land.
