Dumb and Dumber: The US Public and Congress

Boy are we stupid!

In the old days a bunch of guys got together to draw up a new Constitution and came up with a brilliant ingenious document that has proven to be effective and flexible; until we got stupid. The very bright founders of this country could not build anything into the Constitution to protect Americans from their own stupidity, and here we are. The founders, unlike us, were smart enough to realize that power is dangerous, so they built into the Constitution ways to limit power. They knew full well for example, that it would be stupid and dangerous to allow just one person to decide to make war, and so the smart founders made that impossible by insisting that only the Congress can declare war. They couldn't know just how stupid the US population and Congress would become. We and Congress have created a situation where one man can make war on anyone for any reason, a frightening scenario in the eyes of the very smart founders of this nation.

The current president, has taken full advantage of the power we and Congress have stupidly given him, and has waged war by bombing 7 countries. This President is a former Noble Peace Prize winner so imagine what is to come when a real "hawk" becomes president. Considering his predecessor only bombed 4 countries, you can see how the power has expanded exponentially.

The founders must be rolling in their graves, disgusted that all their intelligent work in writing a brilliant document is being torn to shreds by dummies. But how did we become so stupid so fast?

1. violation of the Constitution

the founders in Article 1 ,section 2,parg.3 suggested 1 Representative for every thirty thousand, Public Law 62-5 is not an amendment. By restricting Representation in 1911 is one of the worst violations, giving us legislation without proper representation. Many of the bad discussions further abridging the Constitution trace to allowing Congress to violate a basic clause of the Constitution. The founders felt so strongly about this the 1st proposed amendment was to address this problem, it's still on the book awaiting ratification. Congress takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution and then proceeds to ignore, (are or they just stupid) it.
