can't we all agree on the Rule of Law?

Here's Andy Horning with the foundational part of the ideal approach to politics and public policy...

It should now be apparent that for the past hundred years our own government has advanced a campaign of theft and violence against us on the canard that it’s for “the common good.” Flying in the face of this commonly believed fib is the easily observed fact that we have not solved any problems at all despite worsening taxation, prohibitions and wars....

Why do we so numbly submit our lives, wealth and rights to a protection racket that does not protect?

We should not need more motivation. I assume that if you’re reading this, you already know that something must be done. But not just any action will do...

So here is my summary of the problem and what’s to be done about it:

Problem: Politicians and their agents act in violation of all of the laws that protect us from them.

Solution: We must stop that.

It really is that simple, and we have not even tried it. Our attempts to strategize and pick apart our social disease into only marginally-related “pragmatic” bits have been counterproductive to the effect that we have so far divided and conquered…ourselves. Democrats and Republicans who should ally against their common foe are instead locked in a battle over idolatry, deceit and ignorance. We do not even expect our leaders to obey their oaths of office; nor, in most cases, do we have any idea what the oaths say, what they mean, or to what laws these oaths pledge obedience. We must converge upon this solution- to demand Rule of Law under our existing state and federal constitutions…as written....

Then, Andy gets specific:

1.) Read and completely understand your
state and federal constitutions...


2.) Do NOT write letters, call your congresscritter, protest or hold press conferences about tax policy, the Fed, drug laws, public schooling or any other distraction. Concentrate. Think....We must not any longer allow them to divide us against ourselves with equivocal sub-issues and dubious solutions. As long as politicians violate every law that protects us, we have no issue other than this: we cannot tolerate this anarchy, this ungoverned government. We have one issue only: wrestle our lawbreakers down to the law.


3.) Do
employ every strategy, medium and means you can think of to address this problem: we must have Rule of Law under existing constitutions …as written....

I understand and agree with the points of this directive from Andy Horning, but his suggested approach is still too vague to really be meaningful for the average American.

Unfortunately, most of will have to experience the detrimental effects of our corrupt and violent government before we will be passionate enough to "wrestle them" to the ground. Ideally, we would all care enough without having to experience the negative consequences of our ambivalence, but it is likely not to happen.

Therefore, things will probably have to get (much?) worse before we rally around the Constitution at which point, Cause (the usurping of Constitutional Powers by politicians - Rep and Dem) and Effect (Taxation, the unconstitutional Power of the Fed, etc.) will work together as Motivators.

Nice Ideas, though, Andy!
