Hey Wake Up,

Who here is talking about the composition of the Federal Government. Nobody. Get serious. You said; ” Give me a break. It’s 2010. Live in the present.” What has changed since our Founding Fathers that makes decent moral and ethical decisions of their day obsolete in our day. Ethics and morals have constant values. Ascribing variables to them creates anarchy. Use your head for something other than a hat rack.

Oh yeah. Let's get back to the size of government during the time of our founding fathers. Let's start with the Federal level.
Let's see. If we maintain the ratio of gov official to population we will have ~9000 members of congress. Sound good?
Still pining for the days of the Founding Fathers? Give me a break. It's 2010. Live in the present.

July 9, 1868

This is the date when the 14th Amendment was ratified. This amendment codified into law what Lincoln had forced at bayonet point. Until then, people were only deemed citizens of their respective states. The Constitution nowhere referred to people as "US citizens." It only recognized "the Citizens of each State." Notice also that citizenship was only recognized among the "several States," not among people living in non-State territories. Until the 14th Amendment, people were "Citizens of each State." (Article. IV. Section. 2. Paragraph. 1.) The 14th Amendment created a whole new class of persons: "citizens of the United States." This false notion of "one nation" overturned the Jeffersonian principle that our nation was a confederated republic, a voluntary union of states.

The only way we will be able to achieve any of these goals is to put strict constitutionalist representatives in office. One promising approach to this is the GOOOH party, which is a non-partisan party with the idea that if we nominate and elect members of the party to the House of Representatives, they can actually effect change without being beholden to corporate or party interests.

Ron Paul was ridiculed by the mainstream media, and his own party, when he was running for president. When they started reporting on the finanical crisis and the bailouts, he was being interviewed by all of them.

We will never have truly free democratic elections unless we reform the media as well. Faux News isn’t the answer, it’s more of the same problem, only flipped.

When I make bad choices, I pay the consequences.,
When these financial institutions make bad choices, we all pay the consequences.

Personal responsibility is not a dead ideal, the bailout is morally wrong.
