Freedom or Else! by Paul Hein
The American republic didn’t last very long. Probably some of the founding fathers were still alive when it began its disintegration. Can anyone today argue that our government bears even the slightest resemblance to the one contemplated by the Constitution? Does anyone who gets himself elected and swears an oath to the Constitution deserve our support, just because of that? If we are to have government at all, better to have the one envisioned by the founders. The fact that their inspired creation quickly succumbed to the lust for power should make one suspect that government, of its very nature, is a danger. The founders thought that the restrictions imposed by their Constitution would protect the people. They were wrong.
