This article by Hanson resonates with me, and hopefully with a large and growing number of Americans.
When Obama said in his campain that "... we are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America ...", I feared for the future of our free republic. His actions and policies since Jan 20 have only hightened my fear. Large and unsustainable national debts can and have had devistating consequences to civilizations, witness the French Revolution, and the contribution of a large public debt to the excess of that tragic period in world history.
Fortunatly, our founding fathers put in place the means of a "constitutional" revolution, in the 2 year and 6 year terms of congress. This is the way by which we, the people, can reclaim the intent of Washington, Jefferson Madison, Hamilton etal. when they gave future generations the Constitution. We can pull the rug out from under these dangeorous federal policies by not allowing our congress to be inhabited by lifetime career monarchists, and vote in new blood on a regular basis.
More to follow on this topic.
