In my humble opinion, the constitutional government is the least harmful of the different types of government. The social benefits of stability and security can be obtained even in the face of moral corruption. Public success and private morality are separate. Societies always down through the ages have always progress from an oligarchy ( ruled by a small group of elite rich and powerful) type of government to a democracy type of government ( ruled by and for the people) then as history plainly shows the democracy type government degenerates into a government ruled by a single person (despotism), such has been the case throughout recorded history.
The United States of America before the time of it’s conception was ruled by an oligarchy ( rich merchants, land owners, and the King of England ) type of government which was deposed and a democracy was created by such men as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Jay, and others who names are listed in the United States Constitution. Today, it is still a democracy with a representative type government, but is in serious jeopardy of becoming a Despotism or Oligarchy type of government.
The Republican Party with people like George Bush are in the process of attemping to establish a Despotism or Oligarchy type of government. This calamity begin in the 1980’s with the election of Ronald Reagan to the Presidency of the United States, and was continued by the election of George Bush Sr., and the elites , rich and powerful within the Republican Party. Their efforts were slowed to some degree by the election of a Democrat William Jefferson Clinton to the President, who brought about the strongest economy this world has ever known. President Clinton greatly improved the lives of nearly all the American people. President Clinton was daily ridicule and demeaned by the Republicans who had control and was in the majority while President Clinton was in office. The Republicans refused to lend a hand at anything Clinton was promoting, and demagoged him throughout his Presidency. But notwithstanding the Republicans, President Clinton for eight tears took the United States to it’s highest plateau of excellence the world has every known.
Then the calamity resumed with the illegal election of George Bush the "Decider". The "decider" was not elected to become President, but was illegally appointed by the Republican majority in the United States Supreme Court. Since this appointment of George Bush to the Presidency America’s prestige and standing in the world has drastically and seriously been eroded to the point that the United States has little standing in the world, and is currently bogged down in the country of Iraq where there is an on going civil war between the Shintes and Sunnis people with no end to this war in sight. And at the same time are waging a war in the country of Afghanistan fighting a group of people that are a part of a group of terrorist who bombed the World Trade Center in New York, N.Y. on 9/11.
George Bush the "Decider" took us to war under false pretenses. He took us to war with the blessings of the U.S. Congress by turning over the powers of Congress to declare war to the "Decider" which at the time was ruled by a majority of Republicans. The "Decider" and the "Vice Decider" as well as all the Congress controlled by the Republicans took the U.S. to war with Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction, and that our national security was at risk. All this has been proven to be nothing more than a pack of lies and distortions. The "Decider’s" and the "Vice-Decider" poor planning and the breaking of the nation’s laws has become a disgrace and a plaque upon this nation. The "Decider" said how we would shock and awe, but watching on TV I watched as the bombs and rockets as they begin to fall. I clearly saw the effects of the "Decider’s" shock and awe, innocent men, women, and children being slaughtered and killed is what I saw. This was terrifying to many such as mothers and dads, and grandmas and grandpas. The United States military heric soldiers did as they were ordered, god bless their souls, but at what cost they paid as loved ones prayed and squawed. The "Decider" did a great wrong getting us into a war without just cause.
The want a be tyrant ( Republican approved) "Decider" does not begin his worst abuses until after he has gain total power over the people. Then the people will realize what a monster they have let be born among them. When this happens, the people will want to get rid of this tyrant but the people will find that they are to weak to do so. God help the American people if they should ever forget civil liberty or the ultimate issues that drives the gun control movement: the determination to make armed citizen into disarmed subjects of a powerful, sometimes benign, collection of people who call themselves the government, such as the Republican Party who is trying to some extent to succeed in bringing about a despotism type of government. The warnings are clear and history has shown that these revelation are true and real. God help America if this tyrant or any other should every gain control of the U.S. government and the American people, when just one person by the simple act of pushing a button or issuing an order would send the world into obliteration. Every American should bind together as one to prevent this calamity from ever forming into a despotism (rule by one) or oligarchy ( ruled by a small group of elite powerfully rich).
The United States of America is and should remain a representative democracy which involves the selection of government officials by the people. Representatives may be elected by a particular district or represent the electorate as a whole or a proportional system or a combination of the two, as well as the use of direct democracy such as referenda. The Representatives of the government are and should be elected by the people, to act in their interest, and they the Representatives retain the freedom to exercise their own judgment as how best to do so. This government of the U.S. also includes , free and fair elections, protection of minorities, the rule of law, separation of power between the three branches of government, protection of liberties, freedom of speech, religion, property.
