re: #201 Justanotherhuman

I’m not sure it would come in a dramatic coup, but it might come after a slow and steady migration to a situation where one day, people will wake up and discover the Constitution is just a curious relic of an idealistic past. If the right laws are in place, all it would take is a national emergency for the Republic to just cease to exist.

The thing is, many of these people seem to favor the abstract notion of a theocratic state, but would be horrified to discover what the reality of such a state would be. China is not a theocracy, but the Communist Party is an autocracy (and an oligarchy), and life here for the “wrong people” can be very precarious. Say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, and you’re gone. Poof!

It happened all over 17th and 18th century Europe, which is why our government is the way it is. People need to be reminded of this, and crooks like David Barton are doing everything in their power to obscure that past.
