Is it true that the government is evil and the military are evil and that is why the Constitution was written?

Power corrupts, and absolute power leads to abuse.\n\nGovernments have power, and when combine with the military, that gives them near absolute power. That's why the Constitution was written. To prevent the government from abusing its power.\n\nSadly, in recently years, a combination of fear and complacency in the population has resulted in the govt claiming more and more power, to the point of ignoring the Constitution, just because it can.

Because it is currently one of the most corrupt and hypocritical anywhere -- all the while the US is preaching that laws should be respected, our own govt is breaking the laws and shredding the Constitution on a daily basis.

We are the land of the free. The USA is not an evil place. It's just we have the wrong people running this country. There priorities are messed up. If we can all come together and take care of our own problems first then worry about someone else's problems, we wouldn't be considered evil.

The government is run by the people, these days into the ground by liberals. Years ago the people trusted the government to run the country by the laws that were written. Now we look for a problem with whoever is President while letting Congress run amok. Laws are made by Congress not by the sitting President.

The ancient Greeks, who invented democracy, had a philosopher who said." every government tends to fail by excess of its own basic principle". I cannot recall his name.\n\nThe USA was an experiment in government modeled partly on ancient Greece as revealed to europeans again during the renaissance when monks found old greek teachings and lore in Muslim libraries during the crusades that were translated and taken to Europe. This ended the dark ages in Europe.\nAlso the USA copied some native American government models.\nThe basic principle of USA is democracy rather than Monarchy, so it is this very aspect of our own government that threatens to topple it. Certainly it is made worse by ignorant masses that vote, but it is the power to vote that makes this ignorance dangerous. Not the ignorance per se.\nIf USA were an enlightened dictatorship, then this would not be a problem as the wise and kind ruler would protect the idiots from themselves.\nBut we let anyone vote. They need not own property, or be educated,or even be literate. They can still vote at age 18. This has made the gathering of the votes of morons a big business. This democratic system will be the undoing of USA as the morons are led to the slaughter by the evil geniuses that manipulate them and eventually will enslave them. Part of the con is to make working for the man a moral obligation (ha ha) Then paying taxes to a corrupt government becomes a growing legal obligation. Then obeying religious leaders and tithing. The rest is like taking candy away from a baby. The only reason the trap is not yet sprung is because evil factions are still fighting over the slaves. Once they end their war or have a truce, USA and all its freedoms is doomed.\nOH YEAH, they also do not want to kill the goose that laid the golden egg so it is better to let the fools think they are free as long as possible. We dont want no revolution! First thing to do is to distract them with drugs, TV and false issues to divide them. Then ruin the schools so nobody will ever get smart enough to see what is happening. It is really easy and almost done. so long suckers!

Very good quotes,  If you think those are scary try reading the Declearation of independence.  \n"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government"\n\nWhat does you question have to do with Bush suporters?

I've done all but show up at rallies. And only because being a member of the military I'm not allowed to say anything against the president, though in our vows we swear to defend the Constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. And as far as a lot of us are concerned, Bush is an enemy of the Constitution.

Paul_foster44 No one said that the troops were not honorable I think the point is our fuhrer is no more honorable than a used car salesman selling flood damaged cars from Katrina. Look there are treaties and laws that we must live by. Even the fuhrer himself says this when it is convenient for him to say(like talking about illegal aliens) war on terror or not I don't think anyone should give up 1 right under the constitution for any reason.No matter what anyone says give up one and others will surely follow.

Completely against!  We cannot act as the last check against the Government if we don't know what's going on.  You would be amazed at what corrupt politicians can deem important to national security nowadays, just to keep it secret.\n\nGovernment is a necessary evil, even the U.S. government which is arguably the best in the world.  Our democracy can quickly turn into a totalitarian state if we don't watch what those bastards we elect do....

Of course not.  The "unorganized militia" as defined in law, exists for one purpose only.  It defines the body of manpower available to the government in the event of a draft.  That's it.

Governments reprsent a congregation of power. Power attracts money. Whenever too much power and money gets concentrated in one place, bad things are bound to happen.\n\nOur founders were looking to prevent that by explicitly enumerating the powers of the federal government. All other powers not mentioned in the Constitution and the ammendments that followed were to be in th hands of the states and the people.\n\nWe've been folling away from that doctrine for some time, moreso over the last 6 years. In the current age of executive signing statements, domestic survellince, warrantless arrests and detentions, etc. one would be hard pressed to trust the government.\n\nThe founders of this country didn't trust their own government they created. Why should we trust ours?\n\n~X~

Of COURSE all the enemies of America are evil countries ruled by evil dictators bent on destroying the world but must be stopped at all costs by TEAM AMERICA!!\n\n\n\n\nGod no.  I hate the way Americans look at their enemies.  Especially the ignorant youth who have been sooo indoctrinated into 'the system' that they believe it.

There is a big difference between keeping the people informed of the governments activities and National Security.  Those who put our soldiers and nation at risk for the purpose of selling a newspapers are deplorable snakes.

The U.S. Constitution is the basis for all law in the U.S.  It describes the how the government of the Unitied States operates.  It also grants people certain rights.\n\nOf course, the present administration has great contempt for the Constitution.
