(18,998 posts)From the day you pop out of the womb...if that is your lucky fate...you take a risk when you toddle of on two feet...life if full of risk....if you think you can eliminate them they you want a world not worth living in.
But you ask a lot of questions of me....do you really want the answers?....
I don't believe in the ideal president...it is a fucking illusion because this is not a book of fiction where you can just make up supermen that do supper things...I am not an ideal person and neither are you , and we don't live in an ideal world.
And I don't want him to implement my polices as perfect as I can imagine...nor do I want him to implement anyone policies....I just want him to keep his oath, to uphold and protect the constitution....because that constitution is the only thing standing between us and rule by force where the ones with the most guns and gold make the rules....nothing more than that and nothing less.
When Fascism wanted to rule the world Thousands of Americans died or were wounded to preserve this one principle of the rule of law...and we did not back down because someone might get hurt...and we did it to prevent that kind of police state where everyone had to show their papers and were watched all the time for signs of disloyalty.
That is not the kind of word I want to live in and that is the kind of world we will have without the protection of the constitution.
And if we let them just turn it into a piece of paper in a museum then Franklin had it right....we deserve neither freedom or security.
Did I make myself clear enough?
