Are you proud of the system our Founding Fathers set up that has worked for 240 years allowing us to become the richest and most powerful country in world history and today is defeating Liberals from the grave through the Electoral College?

I wish one or more of them would actually come back from the grave High Plains Drifter style, ride into DC make them paint it all red and burn it down or something like that lol.

Many Americans have a good deal of ancestry tracing back to that time. To a degree they are us and we are them.

Yes.

However, 240 years, while significant, is not necessarily a long time, and history is replete with examples of barbarians crashing at the gates, literally and figuratively, we are probably at the cusp of such a period now, and there is no guarantee that the Constitutional era in history will survive the end of this century.

But it is worth holding onto for as long as possible: history also shows that walls work, even for a significant period of time.

Si vis pacem para bellum.

And then the cycle will repeat again over a thousand years or so.

Good Luck!

Some of us are familiar with the Fall of the roman Empire....we are possibly on the fall portion due to open borders, changing demographics, expensive wars, etc. I thought the election of Hillary would finish us off, with Trump maybe we can revive again, we'll see.

They are seeking safe places and crying rooms waiting for a petting pony.

Liberals are pretty dispirited if they won't even venture in to vote...kind of like Nov 7th I guess.

To bad it didn't kick his ass before he started a unnecessary war and destabilized the ME. There is only so much the dead people can do. Sometimes the living have to step up.
