Term Limits

Newt is Surging: He can help to fix this. 

I was sent a great video by a friend who has a great deal of Government experience.  He thought it was funny to suggest that I may vote as the individual in the video.  I doubt that I would vote as did the actor in the video but he does point out a number of issues that need to be addressed in the next election. I completely by in on his commitment to his view on gun control.  I should be able

to have and own not just a gun but I should be able to own all the guns I want to own and the government should have nothing to say about this.  Remember the reason we have the 2nd amendment (A well regulate militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed on.) is so we can challenge the government if and when they get out of control and take our collective liberty away from us as did the English.  The I want to hunt is not the central argument for Gun freedoms.  It is our ability to hold our government accountable even if it requires a gun.  Maybe this sounds far fetched; That in our country this could never happen.  That our government has at its base the best interest of “we the people” at heart.  That the government has a certain morality to it that would ultimately stop the government from taking our liberty away to the extent that we may need a gun to protect us from that same government. 

However, if we do not look to history to educate us;  if we can not see what the professional class of politicians  have as their main goal.  Then we will set back and do nothing and at some point this will happen to us.  The entire 20^th century has changed the way we govern.  For example, no income tax.  No IRS.  Strong state government and weak federal government.  Small federal government employees not counting the Military.  The start of the building of the middle class lead by Corporate America not Lead by the Federal Government.  The creation of industries that lasted for a century.  And on and on. 

Just in the past 40 years we have seen our government take on most of the constitution as we knew it.  For example the Feds sued IBM.  They had become to big for their pants.  That would be the Fed wanted to control them.  Other than wars, we saw the government begin to borrow with out collateral.  No other entity in the US can do this.  We say other major corporations that spawned new industries Sued, broke up etc.  Microsoft, ATT.  We have seen the removal of decision from a local basis to the federal government.  The federalization and criminalization of just about everything you do from the bedroom to the boardroom.  There is a regulation enforced by a federal bureaucracy that is beyond we the peoples control.  As Gingrich and others have pointed out that the judiciary has participate with the making of laws as they in their 9 person judgment, not elected see fit.  As Justice Borke indicated in his US Senate Supreme court hearings, which he lost, “that there is no provision in the constitution for the right to an abortion or for that matter the right to privacy.”  The court has made up more laws than can be counted.  They have stepped way away from what was the courts behavior at mid century.  The most recent reality is the federalization of your Medical Care.   Guess who is going to decide this question.  The Supreme Court.  Not only do I distrust them but it should not be in the Court in the first place.  The government in its wisdom, or grab for power, has decided they can run our medical decisions like they have run the Pentagon with $ 200 hammers, GM with $200000 per unit Volts and on and on.   

Anybody who does not see the massive problems in DC and the congress, presidency, and the judiciary is blind.  They  count on this so they can not be caught grabbing more power. 

I submit that most if not all of the  problems we see in our government can be fixed by the simple act of term limits.  If government officials are term limited they can not consolidate personal power with our money and therefore there first thought maybe what would be best for the government not what do I need to do or get in order to be reelected.  I do not agree with Obama, but I do know that in 8 years max I get to make another choice.  However the 2^ND , and 3^rd most powerful person in government not counting the VP and the next 9(the supreme court which are life appointments.),  I have to deal with as long as they can use my money to buy votes.  This has to change if we want anything to change over the long haul.
