We are about to conduct an election about the very philosophy of our government. It is our last chance to avoid the Great Crash[*2] which Obama has brought to our doorsteps… but which would have lurked twenty or thirty years in the future even without him. The Obama presidency has begun a fundamental transformation of the relationship between Americans and their government. The groundwork for this transformation was laid over many years, by politicians from both parties. Government bloat has accumulated for decades. The State isn’t really changing all that much under Barack Obama. It’s working to change us.
Without really thinking about it very much, the American people have basically repealed the entire Constitution–at least, they continue to elect both Democrats and Republicans who continually pass laws, enforce those laws, and judge those laws with little or no regard to the actual, easily understood (to a NORMAL person) text of the Constitution. Some people have decided that this is, perhaps, not such a good idea any more. Those people are called, collectively, The Tea Party.
For the NAACP and their allies and apologists: Note the total lack of any kind of racial statement or implication in the above statement. “A Nation of Laws, Not Of Men” mean that the laws–starting with the Constitution, are actually understood and rigorously, aggressively enforced on EVERYBODY.
