Doesn't anybody realize that "2013" marks the 1st centennial of our Democracy?

In 1913 our nation, in effect, went from being a Republic to being a Democracy and to be quite frank, I am astonished that no one is celebrating. Where are the caps and hats? Where are the t-shirts and the $100 dollar aluminum commemorative coins?

In 1913 the most sweeping of progressive democratic amendments to our Constitution and banking laws were all ratified and passed (hurrah and hoorah).

The 16th Amendment made it possible for the democrats to tax incomes from whatever source their little hearts so desired-making the redistribution of wealth possible. Of course we all know that the redistribution of wealth is basically voter buying.

The 17th Amendment made it possible for the people to directly elect the Senators from there States. And the best part is The Federal Reserve Banking Act was made law. All accomplished buy a progressive Democrat dominated Congress and Presidency in one year. The progressive democrats have got to be popping the corks. What an accomplishment.

I am serious-where is all the confetti and fireworks? Is it because the 16th Amendment gave us a 73,608 page tax code that nobody can figure out or afford to have prepared? Is it because the progressive profligate Senators can be re-elected over and over to the point where they die of old age in office? Or is it because progressive Keynesian economics has made it possible for the Fed to print so much paper money over the last century to where the dollar is barely worth 2 cents today-not to mention our massive debt.

Come-on... why is everybody looking so glib? After all isn't this what we voted for? Isn't this what "democracy" is all about-getting everything we want just by casting a vote? In the last election we did get even-didn't we?

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other." (John Adams)

"The proposition that the people are the best keepers of their own liberties is not true. They are the worst conceivable, they are no keepers at all; they can neither judge, act, think, or will, as a political body." (John Adams)

Ambition was meant to counter ambition-that is what constitutes a Republic. Democracy has wiped that away. If our Founding Father were alive today they would declare that the progressive academian conquest as the enemy within. They would then declare the Republicans as the inept with in-and our Supreme Court as nothing but a rubber stamp. Apparently the SC does what it is told by us and to hell with unalienable individual rights.

But-hey! It could be worse! We could be a dictatorship... or is that next? Ah... don't worry. The progressives and the republicans know what is best for us. Now you can return your attention back to the next "American Idol."

I am a libertarian convert because if anybody wants their Republic back they are going to have to undo what was done in 1913. And I don't see the Republican Party as having enough guts to put these "repeals" into their political platform. What was amended in one year can be repealed in one year. Or are the Republicans and the American-people that far gone?

I play for keeps and nobodies vote or principles, especially our founding principles, should be put to a vote or purchased with cheap and getting cheaper paper.
