The federal government is ruining the economy, undermining
liberty and privacy, and now considering a military move to “punish’ Syria for
using chemical weapons. Even when there is evidence that both sides in the
civil war in Syria have chemical weapons, we are blaming one side over the
other without knowing who actually used the weapon.
The American people have no interest in another war in
another nation that hates our guts. When are we going to learn? What is it with
Senator McCain, Graham, and now speaker Boehner, that they feel obligated to
taking action? They are representatives of the people and only 9% support any
action in Syria. Why the urgency? What is our interest? How will a couple of
American missile strikes “punish” anyone for using chemical weapons? Needless
to say, both of the factions in Syria are our enemies.
We have lost the connection of our representative republic.
The Constitution is being trampled at every turn and no one in the government
is listening to the people they are representing. The circumstances we find
ourselves in are the exact reason the founders created a limited federal
government.
It is time to reinstate our federal limits. Mark Levin’s new
book the Liberty Amendments is correct in suggesting there is no way we can
count on the federal behemoth to reform itself. We must take control and reinforce the US
Constitution by adding amendments that will codify any ambiguity of the founder’s
intent. Like a balanced budget, limits on federal spending and printing money,
term limits, and a number of other limits needed to get us back on a path of
constitutional republic values.
The federal government has been too large for too long and
the time is now to rein it in. These representatives will not vote for anything
that will limit their power. They have been consumed by the self-indulgent importance
in the “club” they have created in Washington DC. They need to be reminded who
they work for and what their role is.
We need to reconnect in the political process to awaken the
federal government to a renewed constitutional republic…
