Despotism Freedom

Uhm, THAT

would sure be nice.

Those that don’t actually have a legitimate reason for being there should be moved from DC. Those involved in agriculture, for example, should be based in Iowa–near actual, you know, farmers.

Those in charge of steel-making should be in Pittsburg. You know, near those who actually make steel!

CCRRAAAAZY idea, right?

Get the teat-suckers out of DC and you will see a massive change!

In fact, I don’t know why, with today’s technology, even Representatives and Senators need to be petty celebrities in DC rather than staying in an office in their home state. It really makes no good sense. Honestly, what benefits (to the country) ARE there in having them be in DC? It’s just hide-bound tradition in the service of self-dealing…

It’s time for some really HUGE changes. Let’s roll!

The truth is that

it’s time.

Our ancestors have already screwed things up big-time by voting the direct election of Senators. But there is yet a chance to still fix other things.

I used to be fearful that a Convention of States would open things up to Lefty crackpots. BUT, this can have a requirement that only things that limit the central government can even be proposed.

And then any changes would have to be ratified by 38 states in order to take effect. But I think that there are only a few things that would get ratifies by 38 states.

  • Term limits for BOTH elected officers and Civil Employees
  • SCOTUS set at 9 members. NO COURT PACKING!

I think MOST people are good with those two. No others immediately come to mind for me.

Fixing the direct-election-of-Senators crap-tastic debacle would take a separate Constitutional Amendment…

Education Freedom

Yeah, it’s

called, “education.”

Student reactions to the lessons have been “overwhelmingly positive–and universally so,” Boghossian told The Fix in an email. “I frequently heard phrases like ‘changed my life.’”

Yes,

an important lesson.

Yes, it’s

time to celebrate independence.

In each case, the signal from the justices was the same: The Constitution of “We the People” means what it says. Federal powers are enumerated and few. Only legislatures may make law. Rights explicitly protected in the text of the Constitution may not be encroached upon by any branch or level of government. Everything else is up to the people to decide, state by state, through the democratic process—not by judicial activism, presidential “pen-and-phone”-ism, or bureaucratic rulemaking, which are all just other words for tyranny.
