Analyst's note: The more I consider this piece, the more I'm sure that it must be rated as "Absolutely must read and carefully consider." Mr. Lamb gets straight to the point in discussing critical and foundational, national security issues starting with the three pillars of gov't established by our forward-thinking Founding Fathers. If you have been thinking that the United States was ever intended to be a democracy (as the term is so often now used), then you will be most surprised with facts provided in this short civics discussion. With the Electoral College now under severe attack, Mr. Lamb is extremely clear when he asserts that the only acceptable method remaining, "[...] to retain what's left of the republic our founders gave us is to rid Washington and state and local governments of the progressives – and replace them with people who respect, understand and embrace the Constitution." Mr Lamb makes the case that Democrats have trampled the founders' model since 1933. Based on my own observation of the breadth and speed of the attacks now occurring from more that one enemy of this nation, I'm more and more convinced that we have precious little time left to save our country from multiple treasonous and seditious groups who are now all too often coordinating to destroy this United States from within. Both have different reasons, but the impact is the same. For the record, I'm now convinced that we have both Marxist-driven progressives and global Islamic Jihadist who are now, in some cases working together to destroy this nation. Both are dangerous, but because together they both wish to bring down this nation, we must be even more vigilant. Please study this article carefully as we approach each voting season.
"Except for a brief period during the Reagan years, America has been moving steadily toward becoming a social democracy rather than the republic our founders gave us. There is a very good reason why this is happening.
Since 1933, Democrats have had complete control of government – presidency, House and Senate – for 34 years. Republicans, on the other hand, have had control of government for a total of four years (108th and 109th Congress). Democrats controlled both houses of Congress for 56 years, while Republicans controlled both houses for only 12 years. For 22 years, the Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate; none for the Republicans.
[....]The Woodrow Wilson crowd erased one of the three pillars altogether, when it promoted and adopted the 17th Amendment. This amendment took from the states the power to elect senators and put that power into the hands of the public. Again, singing the progressive song of advancing democracy, the voters adopted the amendment in 1913, right after the 16th Amendment, which gave the federal government authority to tax income. These two amendments leave the republic a faint shadow of what our founders created. Marxist-driven progressives in the Obama administration are hell-bent to completely destroy what is left of the republic."
