It’s Not Your Founding Fathers’ Republic Any More

The title of today’s posting is the title of an essay written by Myron Magnet and published in the City Journal.  It was forwarded to us by a good friend and supporter of TheFundamentals.  We encourage you to read the piece by clicking on:  http://www.city-journal.org/2014/24_3_constitution.html 

Toward the end of the piece, which is Mr. Magnet’s views built upon the writings of four named authors/essayists, there is a compilation of suggestions and remedies for the mess we are in.  Our position continues to be to support any effort to end this madness which we prefer to summarize with our formula:
deficits = debt = destruction
Alas we see no solution in the proposed remedies but still would support any or all of them.   Likelihood of implementation?  Most unlikely given that the majority party of the United States is unable to even execute the simple constitutional responsibility of imposing and enforcing reasonable immigration control over our borders.  History bestows no longevity on any nation without such discipline.
