Has the great experiment ended? A constitutional Republic is unique, so unique, it has never been tried any where in the world. Think about that for a second, in an era where Kings, Queens and Dictators religious or otherwise roamed the earth, the founders having no experience and no “world view” created a system so unique it is said it was “divinely” inspired. A system that gave power to the people and made the people responsible for their government. It is said that when asked what type of government did they give us Ben Franklin responded “A Republic .. if you can keep it”, rather he actually said it or not is not the issue, what is the issue is the warning.
You see men collect power like woman collect shoes. When men get powerful they tend to consolidate that power around themselves and anyone who threatens it will be pushed out. I think the founders knew this fundamental fact and knew that unless the “people” kept a check on that power it would grow and metastasize into a out of control system where the powerful would stop listening to the very people who put them there in by de facto become like Kings of old. Our system has become the tyrannical monster the Founders feared. Another saying is “when the government fear the people we have freedom… when the people fear the government we have tyranny”. Do you think the government fears us or do we fear the government?
Do you remember the former Chinese politician who was seated in the legislature being forcibly removed from government by President Xi on TV, never to be seen or heard from again? Chinese former leader forcibly removed Do you also remember all of the US media and politicians denouncing it? Those same people are now praising a thinly veiled political persecution, not just of a former President but a presumptive Republican nominee and political opponent of the sitting party in DC.
Tell me how we have not lost the Republic?
We have a local prosecutor in Manhattan New York who campaigned on “getting Trump” one way or another, bringing charges against a former President of the United States, charges almost every single legal scholar out there scoffs at. Yet the media and the political left are all celebrating the indictment, they have been clamoring for the last 8-9 years. I am not going to go over the absolutely perverted and tortured indictment but it would behoove the reader to listen or read some of the legal experts on it. The favorite mantra of the left is this or that is a “threat to our democracy”. The real threat to democracy is a weaponized justice system, that includes the FBI and the DOJ.
Have, we as a people, become so divided that we cannot see that the usurpation of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is a threat to all us? If not, how can one party almost as a whole cheer the indictment of a political front runner and totally ignore their own politicians real crimes? Rather you believe Trump is guilty of something, something you just can’t put your finger on or even name, is irrelevant, by ignoring the crimes of the politicians in DC you are tacitly endorsing it. It is clear, Hunter Biden sold political influence to his father to the tune of Millions of dollars. Even if you absolutely believe Joe Biden knew nothing of it, you cannot deny Hunter is guilty of multiple felonies. If Erik Trump had video evidence of him doing crack cocaine with Russian hookers would you not be clamoring for his arrest? Most likely you’ve done so already with no evidence of anything illegal.
We have a multi-tiered justice system. One for the democrats and one for Conservatives. If Trump had of destroyed subpoenaed emails and subpoenaed communication devices you would bet he would have been charged. Hillary did it, yet faced no charges. Unsecured server, classified documents sent through that unsecured server, Benghazi, Uranium One, all illegal one way or the other either by lying to congress or something else, yet no charges. Classified documents-Trump’s home gets raided, while Joe Biden gets a two week notice. I bet no FBI agent rifled through Jill Biden’s underwear drawer, is all that fair? Of course it isn’t fair but it is the reality of our weaponized justice system.
