There is a fundamental truth behind what Our Founding Fathers did in establishing Our United States of America:

Provide the Federal Government enough monies to allow them to protect Our States, and leave the Citizens alone.

Mr Bombastic

The duties of government are clearly explained in our Constitution. Anything else is overreach and unconstitutional. Like government healthcare.

Chameleon12

Yeah, apparently, they forgot about that last part.

JimMe

You said exactly what the 10th Amendment says:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

They didn't forget, Cham12; radical secular liberal progressive Marxist {and then Marx/Alinskyites} (D), don't believe in our Constitution or our Bill of Rights, and have been doing everything in their power, for 120 years, to (D)eceptively, "fundamentally transform" our Western free-market "experimental" Republic. The (R)ecent "exposure," has them with their "pedal to the metal," and "they can't go back." The "toothpaste is out of-the-tube," and they are working 24/7/365, in a (D)separate and frantic {but futile} attempt to alter the "tube," to replace the "toothpaste." FAT CHANCE, "LEFTY!!!" "MAKE AMERICA SAFE, PROSPEROUS AND GREAT AGAIN!!!" And no matter how "lefty" tries to "spin" it, the "TRUMP TRAIN" (R), is getting bigger and stronger and faster with each new job, up-tick in economy, American business' not being (D)eported to - wherever, American business' coming BACK from - wherever, cramping, illegal and unconstitutional rules, laws and regulations {"ACA"}, being overturned, each police officer being backed, each military improvement being accomplished and each American feeling a little safer. GOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT "45" DONALD J. {BORN AGAIN} TRUMP (R); our tireless "Good Shepherd," {Isaiah "45"/Trump "45"}, on a "Mission from God!!!" Hummmmm. Now; "(D)RAIN THAT {RADICAL LOONY SECULAR JACKASS LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE "LEFTY"} SWAMP!!!"

The American public, for whatever reason, be it apathy, laziness, inattention, or simply focusing on working to make ends meet, have allowed the federal government to usurp powers never intended by our founding fathers. I would not be surprised if the majority of Americans could not tell you the name of their two Senators and member of the House of Representatives. If the public is that apathetic, who or what is going to stop this trend.

sboy

That was the ideal.

You are so correct here.. We have allowed the power of government...Each election we see how utterly "dispicable" they have become and rather than force accountability for their action we excuse them.."Politics, what can you expect, rightttt?? We can and should expect adhearance to the Constitution, enforcement of the Bill of Rights etc, yet we do not...

We started the rejection of such in the loud resounding election results.. Now
encumbant upon us to stand united against the Oligarchy and demand achievement in the things they professed would be their conviction...

Time to get past all this rhetoric, stop trying to deter President Trump, and he needs to just ignore all of them and get to handling the affairs of America with or without them!!!

Mr Bombastic

Politics: From the Latin, polis, meaning many, and tics. Blood-sucking parasites.

Amen, Mr.B....

And welfare and a host of other social experiments that the left has started. This was a country where one could come and pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make something of themselves without handouts. The only handouts that were ever given is when neighbors helped other neighbors to get them up on their feet again after a disaster of some sort.

We can thank 50+ years of progressive control and indoctrination in our education system for quite a lot of what is wrong in this country. American youth aren't just uninformed, they are misinformed in order to get them to hate the founding of their own country, which for the first time in history gave ordinary citizens ("of the people, by the people and for the people") control of their government. The vile left wants none of that, they want an elitist group, (themselves) to have power and control over everyone

okie don

Amen Rick...
Ya got that right...
We'll have to get permission to go to the bathroom next!

Mr Bombastic

At least we'll be able to choose which bathroom we use.

The biggest gain the DemLib-Socialists made in dissolving Our Republic was the establishment of the Dept of Education on Our National Level... This has allowed the Socialists to control the education of every public school student in the USA since October 1979...

The first step in breaking the Socialists' grip is to eliminate the Federal Government's Dept of Education...
