I think I owe one final post on why I have confidence in the Constitution, why I am convinced that the Hologram folks are dead wrong, and why I think that as ratified, while implemented in the spirit of the DoI and BoR would correct this country, return us to a republic in hours, and return the republic to the highest goals set forth by Jefferson & Company.
If I thought that filling our House, Senate and Oval Office (only the elected positions for now) with Patriots like Concerned America, Tom Baugh, Miss Violet, AP, Bill Nye, Ken Lane, Rich T, Brock, RegT, Tam, Zoomie, Curtis, Trainer, Russ Longcore, Bill Buppert, Alvie, TL, Will, Craig, Mozart, CIII, John Mosby, Dan III, Denninger, Mike C. Mike B., Kent, Keith, Deacon, Blue, and others from this Community would make no difference, would run with the same or more tyranny and perversion of Liberty as we have now, I'd walk away from this entire aspect of my life.
You look at that roster (and forgive me if I left anyone off who deserves to be there, my memory is wretched and I am typing fast) and you tell me that group of people in the House, Senate and Oval would keep the Status Quo.
Not one of you can say that, not with a straight face. And if you do I'll call you an f'n liar and/or idiot.
You say we can't vote our way out of this? Sadly, I suspect you are correct. But not for the reasons you may think. My reasons are timeline, course and speed. Many of you think that "The evil conspiracies" of the world would never let it happen, would never let such people into office.
Sorry, I call BS on that one. Jefferson was President. Hamilton was not.
The simple fact is that we elect Bad People every cycle because we have let our country become filled with Bad People who are lazy, entitled and FSA.
Who do you think is in that 50% of people who never go to the polls? It is OUR people. The Silent Majority, or what's left of it.
No, I am not going to make a play to get these folks to run for office. There is no point given the imminent implosion. After the culling of the herd, however...
But my point stands: If these people were in office and the remaining seats filled with men and women like them, the abuses of "Government" would end, right now.
If you think of the Constitution as an engine, it needs maintenance. It also needs the proper fuel. If you fuel it with Bad People, as we have done, you get bad results.
This marks the end of this topic for me. I am moving forward to achieve results, not quibble about how many Angels...
