It’s kind of a long read but I think it will open your eyes a little. Are we going to be another Germany, Itally, USSR, or even China. I fear the slide has started and the result will be the same.
The Supreme Court has nibbled away at the Constitution in the name of “fairness”. Can we afford more Liberal judges that continue to assault the primary reasons the Constitution was written and adopted?
Are we going to see the result of over 200 years of work be placed in the hands of unelected, self righteous, elitests, change what truly “was” a great document. Thomas and Scalia are about the last two who are actually following the intent of the Constitution.
As for the “Bail-out”, let them fail. They’ve given so much money to the top tier of the Democrats and the Democrats have done everything in their power to black any kind of restructuring up until now when their collective necks are on the chopping block.
