What Future Does The
US Republic Have?

What does the future hold for the republic? no future for the republic as it stands now. Let's examine the problems facing the republic. Unchecked illegal immigration for starters. thousands of illegals coming across the border every day. Every day! what do they bring with them? Need, want, diseases that have not been seen in America since the 50's. The rising costs of medical and healthcare as a result. They bring with them the poverty of their native country. A cheap source of labor to undermine the domestic labor market and drive down wages. Lowering the standards of living to below the poverty line. I could go on but I hope that you already have gotten the point.
Who has the power to solve these problems?

The Federal Government. Why do the power brokers refuse to act upon the issues that are killing the republic? They act upon trivial issues, they filibuster unimportant judicial nominees. They cannot be oblivious to these problems. Watch C-Span, look at them and ask yourself , is this congressman or that senator oblivious to the problems facing America? They are not. They understand these problems because they have created them to begin with. The problems with deficit spending.

Borrowing more and more money every year to finance their pork barrel programs. watching America go further and further into debt. Watching our infrastructure crumble. Our schools with their lowering academic standards every year. Students failing to learn the fundamentals while the rest of the world gets further ahead of us.

Unemployment is rising while American jobs are continues to be sent overseas. With the bankruptcy laws now in place one can expect the official number crunchers to tout this as a sign the economy is still recovering, when in fact, it is not.

What does the future hold for the republic? I can forsee the return of the soup kitchens and the long lines of unemployed people whose jobs have been outsourced. I can't see the government creating a second ìNew Dealî because America's credit will have been destroyed by the fiscal mismanagement from the previous decades. Any money coming off the printing presses will be worthless as the deutchmark was after Germany's defeat after WWII.

Unless there is a WWIII in which America is attacked with nuclear weaponry; Unifying the nation, America will fall into the darkness of a violent and bloody second civil war. If Tom Chittum's 'Civil War Two' is any indication, entire cities will be depopulated and destroyed. Racial and civil strife along ethnic lines will be the end result. This is what the future holds for the republic.

Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a goddamned piece of paper'

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.

Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.

GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

“I don’t give a goddamn,� Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.�

“Mr. President,� one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.�

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,� Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!�

I’ve talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.�

And, to the Bush Administration, the Constitution of the United States is little more than toilet paper stained from all the shit that this group of power-mad despots have dumped on the freedoms that “goddamned piece of paper� used to guarantee.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, while still White House counsel, wrote that the “Constitution is an outdated document.�

Put aside, for a moment, political affiliation or personal beliefs. It doesn’t matter if you are a Democrat, Republican or Independent. It doesn’t matter if you support the invasion or Iraq or not. Despite our differences, the Constitution has stood for two centuries as the defining document of our government, the final source to determine – in the end – if something is legal or right.

Every federal official – including the President – who takes an oath of office swears to “uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says he cringes when someone calls the Constitution a “living document.�

“"Oh, how I hate the phrase we haveâ€â€
