I am sorry my friend but the change has been under way from it's very inception. Patrick Henry found cause in even replacing the original articles of Confederation with the original Constitution.Jefferson and Madison found cause in the central bank and the extended central federal authority. Let's never forget the changes that Lincoln brought us. After that we saw saw Wilson and far too many from both sides to even count.
The Founders warned us and tried to make it clear that the responsibility was ultimately in the people and not in the state and especially not in the federal government. The country has not changed, the People have.We gave away our rights and we passed them onto the states and even worse onto a federal beast whose only reason to exist since shortly after its inception is to increase its power.
It matters not if the interference from your federal overlord is in the form of barbed wire or over regulation, excessive taxation and limited liberty on the sub level. Once you have subjugated yourself to the Federal Overlord you are just another slave. How much leeway your master gives you changes not your status as a slave.
Blame not the leaders who brought us here and that includes Obama and Bush before him. We alone are to blame for the Founders warned us from day one that what they gave us would be under attack from it's inception.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what type of government the Constitution was bringing into existence. Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
We have to date failed to fulfill our responsibility. Now what...
