The failure to follow the Constitution is what should be important. George Washington knew that political parties would cause people to put their own interests ahead of the nation's interest. It doesn't matter what party you claim, neither sides are following the Constitution the way it was written.

Really? Name calling? The whole thread has been productive, till I saw this comment.

Productive? Please, it's just Neo accusing others of crap he does on a regular basis. It's laughable, but yes I know all of you stick together.

Let's just sum up the whole thread:
Liberals are evil, calling out the Gop is evil, be like me or you are evil, blah blah blah.

Many have discussed the ills, and what could be done, to fix it. I personally have called all politicians the same. The one thing I did call out, was those who worship Obama, and can actually say, hes done NOTHING wrong, and deserves 4 more years. Actually, Neo doesn't even agree with me on Infrastructure, and who I am going to vote for. I am 100% sure you didn't read through ALL the thread, or you wouldn't have made the snide comment, you are making now.




Deny Ignorance, Indeed.

Back on topic.

WE THE PEOPLE, need to remind them of it.

Star for you.

Try it yourself. Neo never starts threads like this to "be productive". He does it to tick off "leftists". There is no point in speaking with him so I don't. He doesn't want a debate, he just wants to tell us how evil we are. I find it telling he gets away with this obvious troll crap. If I did it I would get slapped quick. I'm done with this site permanently.

Take it up with the Staff, not those who make the threads, or post in it. There is a Rant section also. Sorry your emotions, have the best of you.

Peace.

Yes, I agree, but, the problem comes about when we each try and define exactly HOW it is not being followed.
We agree that it is broken up way beyond all recognition, and our forefathers are crying IDIOTS!, and we hold the universal fear and knowledge that at some point everything is going to either change beyond all recognition and/or come crashing down in flames. So, we name call and hate, and watch America's got talent.

First of all there is speculation that today's constitution is not the same constitution signed 230 years ago. Second there are too many commercial codes that exist solely for the purpose of raising money for the government from undesirables who don't play ball with the elite.

Third the first and second amendment seem misinterpretated and/or misapplied. Freedom of speech should have nothing to do with raising campaign money. The right to bear arms should not include machine guns, tanks, helicopters or bazookas.

I think parts of it, to put it very mildely, need editing by unbiased constitutional experts. It is not a government by the people and for the people. It is for the masonic bankers who rule the world with an iron fist behind the curtains.

I'm sorry but neo-conservatism is deplorable and should be bashed; mainsteam republicans are neo-cons, making the republican party a huge sham. People who support neo-cons are either powerful and corrupt or just plain brain atrophied. Watching the RNC showed so many great examples of chauvinistic idiots with stars and stripes in their eyes, completely blind to the reality which faces down our nation.

To be quite frank, both parties and both candidates absolutely SUCK. Obama did terribly, as did his predecessor, Bush, and as will his successor, whether it be Romney or a candidate to be determined in 2016. Our government does not have the interests of the people in mind; this is the root problem at the heart of our country's ailments. When you elect a congress and leader, you often do so hoping that you will see some sort of return on your investment; you do not elect someone who will do nothing but rob you of your honor and integrity.

What do you do then, when democracy fails you? I mean if every person we vote into public office stabs us in the back, what is the use in voting at all?

Give the tax payers back their money and it would be more affordable, no?

The poor do not pay many taxes to begin with. The bulk of the money comes from the middle class and the rest from the rich. How much difference would it make if the state and federal government were to give back a $500 refund? Probably none!

Further a large percentage of unemployment due to offshoring and the influx of illegals ONLY increases the poor class of AMERICANS.

Jimmy Carter (first Red Flag) created the Dept of Ed in 79’ under pressure from teachers unions (second Red Flag). Our educational system began to go downhill shortly after. Please show me where in the constitution it says the role of the federal government is to provide education….. I’ll wait.

So if the constitution got some things wrong by accident(including ommision) that means we should continue down the wrong path OR try to correct things?

And unions are NOT the problem. They are the SOLUTION to greed driven capitalism. We come from different schools of thought so I cannot see how we will ever agree. You see dollar signs and I see societal solutions.

Education should be left to the states. The Dept of Ed should be abolished and that money should be returned to the states and THE PEOPLE so they can make their own decisions.

I think the federal government should have loose oversight of the education system, but generally speaking the majority of legislation concerning education should be made at the state level.

The free market can easily solve this issue….let it happen!

Nope. It will only make the division of poor and wealthy WORST! Maybe you should go live in south america.
