America...twenty years from now.

Is the best of this country yet to come, or has it run itz course? Will we still be the beacon freedom in itz rawest form, or will we be the 'new third world?' Two simple questions...millions of answers...since no one really knows. Just to ruffle a few feathers, all of us Americans have alittle liberalism in us ever since our inception when we broke free from imperialism to be free. What separates liberals from conservatives is the choices of what paths to take when faced with decisions. If it ain't broke (this can be taken many ways)don't fix it means nothing to ultra-liberals who see fault with everything...even with the universe. The colonists who created this country were considered liberals who favored 'forced change' and the conservatives were people still loyal to King George of England. These people favored 'passive change'...if any change at all. This fact has already been posted on OPP. Just as the Freemason's reputation was scorned for years close to 200 years ago for no apparent reason, the 'same-type' scenario could be said about the colonist liberals of yesteryear...they had the audasity to turn on the government!! But like everyone says, "ain't notime like nowtime." Now, we have a government in the making, who given time, could very well resemble King George's court complete with a mentally-r****ded jester. The difference being...the liberals stand by it nowadays and the conservatives who always favored 'passive change' in the past would be considered as liberals of the past who favored 'forced change.' Throughout history, 'forced change' has usually led to total mass chaos with devastating results with only a few bright spots. The Constitution, VJ-day, Magna Carta, what separated BC from AD are some examples. Forced change at the present resembles the carnage and chaos of the past and if not put in check will turn this country 20 years from now into a land where all history and folklore will be trampled on for reasons that many are still trying to grasp. twenty years from now, at this pace....there will be no more 'beacon of freedom' and the worst part of this essay...there never will be again. Get yer act on one stage America and if it takes internal conflict to accomplish that?...quess what?, accomplish that!! say that three times!

A lot of food for thought here. I favor a new constitution where states rights can override federal law.
Support a******n? Live in a state with like minded people. Don't like the words "under God" in the Pledge, affirmative action, unlimited welfare benefits, concealed weapons permits, the death penalty, being forced to rent out to Hell's Angels and obscenity laws? Same remedy.
The current system has us at odds with each other and worse, is destroying the cohesion necessary for the Union to exist.
How can a Supreme Court decide their ruling becomes the law of the land when the v**e that made it so is 5-4?

That's because both the people and the Supreme Court have forgotten that it's not that the legislators shall be above the Supreme Court or that the Supreme Court shall be above the legislators, but that the Constitution shall be above them both.

The Supreme Court is not to have force or will, only judgement and that judgement is based solely on the Constitution.

this country has a ideology conflict from hell...which will not get better. as far as the supreme court goes...they have affirmed that their words are not the law of the land or the common man. thatz because we are not lawyers like them. none of them have any clue about the streets.

I spent 26 years on the streets. I used to think then and still do today that if a Supreme Court justice worked the evening or midnight shift at a 7-11 in a high crime area for six months his/her decisions would be more in line with reality.
BTW, while working plain clothes my partner and I nabbed two perpetrators holding up a 7-11 at 12:30 in the morning w/o firing a shot. The gunman profusely thanked me for not k*****g him...the lookout ran but was captured by my partner. Six hours later, we arrested the getaway driver on a warrant.
One of the saddest things I ever witnessed was a 50+ year old w/f who was working in an all night convenience store. Her husband had left her high and dry w/o support. She had no job sk**ls. Since it was a high crime area she felt fearful every time the door opened. At that time I worked uniform and tried to reassure her that I'd keep an eye on her. I took a two week vacation some time later. When I returned to my beat, I checked up on her. There were scabs, bruises and bumps on her face and forehead. While I was away, she had been robbed and pistol whipped.

With 2 million felons in prison plus millions more on felony parole and probation the judicial system is deeply flawed. Its deterrent value is weak at best.
Why can't the criminal element be more afraid of us than we are of them?
Can't imagine what the numbers will look like 20 years from now if nothing is done.

100% right! And it is the peoples duty to enforce the constitution on the oath breaker. The U.S government doesn't really have the balls to fight millions of angry people. They know they will lose.
