#41 one of your own:
“The only difference between my vision and yours is this . . . you PREDICT disaster to come from my pint of view. We are all EXPERIENCING disaster from yours.”
My vision is that of the Amendment process, which is admittedly conservative by it’s nature…it was meant to be so.
Despite some notions to the contrary, the first task of ANY government ANYWHERE is to provide stability. But how to accomplish this stability without stasis? The Amendment process provides enough “bendability” to accommodate for change.
But it has to be a change that is widely and deeply supported by a majority of the citizenry(<—please note this word). Not something imposed “top-down” by whatever pack of oligarchical meddlers who happen to be wearing the Black Robes at any point in time.
So, a campaign slogan of “Change” ain’t necessarily gonna cut it in just two years.
Which is your vision.
You would seek to impose your program on people without their consent by an appeal to authority.
That is why, in places like California, where popular referenda are used in the law-making process, the losing side always scrams off to court lickety-split to try to get a judge to negate the expressed will of the citizens(<—again, that word).
Prop 8…Prop 187…and the re-instatement of the California Death penalty and the recall of CA Supreme Court Justice Rose Bird over her anti-capital punsihment stance, for starters.
I remember that she was commuting death sentences right up until her last hour in office.
Servant of whom? The citizens of California?
No…she was a servant to her own social engineering agenda.
These are the tactics of a general who knows that he doesn’t have the long-term support to realize his goals in the proper Constitutional arena.
The decades long debate over the freedoms guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment is an example of
how an extremist minority viewpoint, rather than properly attempting to amend or repeal the 2nd Amendment, resorts to a series of judicial petit-fuehrers to rule by decree.
The Liberal appetites for social and economic control is too great and all-encompassing NOT to try imposing changes so fundamentally radical that they would literally tear this country apart.
Americans just won’t take it.
Either accept the rejection of the parts of your program that won’t sell at the ballot box, or accept the rejection you’ll get from the cartridge box.
The citizenry is the highest authority. We The People created the Government…not the other way around.
