Goodbye America, I Hardly Knew You



The United States Federal Government has become a clear and present danger to the Republic and to the United States Constitution.  It is too big, too bloated, too ineffective, too inefficient, too pervasive, too omnipresent, too counterproductive, too corrupt, and simply too destructive.  This leviathan indiscriminately consumes and devours everything in its path.  Long ago it unhinged itself from its constitutional moorings and has taken on a life all its own unfettered by constitutional restraints and laws, functioning on the whims of a handful of highly placed masterminds.  We are becoming a nation of men, not laws.  We are becoming a nation of majority mob rule which leads inexorably to anarchy, chaos and tyranny.  The federal monster is devoid of common sense, devoid of reason, devoid of rationality, devoid of any link to The People, and devoid of any sense of responsiveness to wishes and needs of The People.  In the few instances where the federal government has clear responsibility it has proved itself wholly derelict in its duty, that being defending our borders, printing the money, and delivering the mail.  Any projection of power outside of these areas is unwise and unconstitutional.  The federal government has no constitutional power or authority in the areas of agriculture, education, energy, environment, health care, housing or private business.  It is taxing and spending and regulating and meddling our country into oblivion.  It is systematically attacking and usurping the freedom and liberty of the people by ignoring and convoluting the Bill of Rights.  Please take note Washington; it is the Bill of Rights, NOT the bill of needs.  These rights come from God, not government.  They are inalienable, they cannot be taken away.  It is the function of government to defend these rights, not squash them.  The People do not need the approval or permission of the Courts or the Government to hold and exercise these rights.  We fought a bloody war at our nation’s founding to secure these rights for the People.  I used to think that it is beginning to look like 1776 again but the more I observe our current dilemma it reminds me more of France, 1789.  Our pampered politicians, judges and bureaucrats live like kings and queens while the People suffer.  They are blind and deaf to the underlying misery and unhappiness throughout the land.  They live in a protected bubble; wining and dining, traveling, playing golf, enjoying concerts, just yukking it up and telling each other how great they are.  The emperor has no clothes.  We know this is all a lie, an illusion.  The economy is actually crashing down all around us.  The moral societal fabric is unraveling.  The People do not believe, do not like, and do not trust our politicians, our judges and the bureaucrats.  I believe that the motives of some of those in government are, simply put; evil.  For some reason the States, the foundational building blocks of our nation, the agencies that formed the federal government for their benefit now seem unwilling to exercise their constitutional 10th Amendment duty to reign in this runaway federal behemoth by holding its feet to the constitutional fire.  The States are the vehicles by which the People project constitutional power over the federal government when elections alone fail the need, which they have.  Most people believe that elections are rigged and fraudulent.  It seems that we are headed down the same path of destruction as all of the great nations and empires of history.  And sadly, I don’t know if there is anything that can be done to stop this inexorable decline into dissolution.  May God help us and have mercy upon us.  And please, please bless the United States in America.
