Why not establish core values that both houses of Congress must adhere to?
Jun 28, 2019 17:28:13 #
History has taught us what core values a nation needs to prosper. All government officials, as well as the members of both houses of Congress, should be confirmed to their respective offices with an oath to adhere to them. God should be first in American politics - it is he who makes America great. And the safeguarding of American interests should be first in negotiations with foreign nationals. How ridiculous is it for any president not to put God (and the interest of the people he [the president] represent) first, in any and all negotiations! It is absurd for an American citizen not to put American interest first in conversation and practice, even when taking an international or g*******t perspective on things.

They take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. What good does that do?

They ALL took an oath to defend the Constitution and yet most rarely do. What's another oath going to mean? NOT A FRICKING THING! Not yelling at you, yelling at the sky. Unless they enacted it into LAW it would be toothless and even then some s**thead judge would rule it UNCONSTITUTIONAL the first time it was used against a liberal puke. Mike

It’s not right but even the Founders ( I believe it was Jefferson) said once politicians realize they can get v**es for favors (paraphrasing now) we will lose our Republic. My point; it’s been going on a long time. Maybe we need another revolution.

Should have asked Smedly the Founder and exact quote. He’s pretty damn smart.

It was Jefferson and he also said that at times the tree of liberty needs to be watered with bloodshed, or something like that. Mike

Thanks. Founders were pretty sharp. Are we still allowed to say that?

Only in hushed voices. We don't know who is eavesdropping. Mike

We have those. They're called laws. Trouble is, our elected officials and government employees believe their position puts them above the laws

I believe that is also already a law.
