“Last week marked the conclusion of the grand taxpayer funded spectacles known as the national party conventions. Sadly, the Constitution and its protections are respected less and less as we have quietly allowed our constitutional republic to devolve into a militarist, corporatist social democracy. Laws are broken, quietly changed and ignored when inconvenient to those in power while others in positions to check and balance do nothing. The protections the founders put in place are more and more just an illusion. This is why increasing importance is placed on the beliefs and views of the president.”
