Enforce the Constitution

Fellow citizens, practical decision-making in Washington, D.C., using freely verifiable information is vanishing. It is being replaced by prejudice-founded policy popularized by using clever half-truths.

Naturally, destructive reaction to such policies is hidden by authoritarian secrecy and claims of “national security.” This has made our government take on the character of a mad dog — biting itself in reaction to its disease-driven lack of coordination.

Consequently, consider these three reasons why Bush and Cheney aren’t being tried for impeachment by Congress, despite justification visible to anybody literate. These reasons also explain why around six of our past presidents, though impeachable, weren’t tried either. They also challenge the worth of re-electing most long-term federal politicians.

1. The Declaration of Independence says, “Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.”

2. People smart enough to get elected aren’t normally brainless puppets. Therefore, most U.S. representatives and senators would obviously have to be at least minor accessories to significant impeachable offenses by a president for such to be possible, or have knowingly ignored impeachable activity in oath-breaking subservience to congressional deal-making. Does anybody willingly help reveal personal guilt?

3. Too many Americans don’t really believe our form of government works, despite oaths of office and pledges of allegiance. They naturally show this by insisting on or supporting the methods and devices of other forms of government to solve our country’s problems. That encourages the mutation of our constitutional republic into a benevolent elected monarchy, aided and abetted by an elected nobility and guided by a chosen aristocracy of experts. Consequently, political high crimes to some are welcomed political achievements to others.

Do you believe in a constitutional republic for America? Prove it. Personally enforce the Constitution on government.
