When the forefathers created the constitiution there were a lot of things different. A lot of gray area's that they could have never predicted in their imagination. It's unfair to simply say our leaders are incompetent or what have you when they aren't withholding a certain standard that our forefathers laid out for us.
Now I'm not going to sit here and rant about the following 8 years of pure pomegrante but let me say this. It wasn't George's fault, it wasnt Clinton's fault, it wasn't anyones fault. It was several events that led up to one huge blow up. I don't agree how George W JR executed the Afghanistan invasion, but none the less it had to be done.
I don't know, I just have faith there are some things our government isn't telling us and they are doing the best of their abilities for our country. America is a double edge sword with said freedoms, an experiment that could go wrong any day it seems like. I don't find it ethical for freedom of speech to stretch as far as Nazis able to parade freely, for children to go around saying whatever they want and being insubbordinate, and a few other things. Theres freedom but there is abuse of it as well.
Who fed you that line of crap? And why did you eat it?
Our forefathers would be incredibly disappointed in our generation, for allowing so much crap to be flung on our doorstep and us to justify it in our existence rather than find the smart paths to change.
Organizational sociology argues that elites eventually amass power even though they are voted into office on any level of government, and originally follow their duty of representation. To counter the elites, people must use their power to recall those who no longer truly represent their constituents. People in general don't do that anymore. It takes tragedy to shake many out of apathy, and by then, it is usually too late.
Our forefathers were well-educated, open-minded, and had real goals in mind. Anyone stepping into a town hall today would see a pathetic attempt at a debate. Did you know people actually used to show up to debates with research on the subject? Now you see complete f*cking morons showing up with "Obama is Hitler" instead of true counter arguments and propositions to the health legislation. I doubt even 0.5% of the people who showed up at town halls even read the damn legislation that was proposed. People show up, dripping in ignorance and following a sheep mentality.
I can't believe it's gotten this bad. I help when I can. Awaken the minds of your fellow men. They have slept for far too long.
