Why we need to throw the current bunch of Leftists out of our government.


    Leftists, Nazi, Communists, ISIS, and Mideast Theocracies etc.  understand that it is only possible to oppress a nation through the use of a federal government. 

            The American Constitution was the first in the world to protect the rights of individuals, minorities, and states by limiting the power of the federal government. It was well understood from earlier democracies that in a democracy of three persons, two persons could create and pass laws to legally expropriate and redistribute the wealth or labor of any third person. Thomas Jefferson to P. Dupont in 1816; "The majority oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundation of society."  James Madison in the Federalist Papers, Feb 5, 1788 to the Massachusetts Convention, "but as a just government protects all alike, it is necessary that the sober and industrious part of the community should be defended from the rapacity and violence of the vicious and idle.  A bill of rights, therefore, ought to set forth the purposes for which the compact is made, and serves to secure the minority against the usurpation and tyranny of the majority."

            In fact under English colonial law the ruling majority had already democratically classified some minority peoples as goods to be bought, used, and sold. We pledge allegiance to a Republic because that is what the Founding Fathers intended.  The American Constitution was designed for a Republic specifically to limit federal government power. The government is divided into three branches of power, each completely unique with differing election terms, checks and balances. In the Senate, small states have the same power as populous states. These impediments to strong centralized majority power were included in the American Constitution because every pure democracy before America was short lived and often ended in a bloodbath. By 1824 Thomas Jefferson already thought the American Government was too big.  He wrote to William Ludlow, "I think myself, that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious."   Thomas Jefferson was the founder the Democratic Party.   In  1816 he wrote (note in Tracy's Political Economy), “To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it."
