America needs to reboot back to our founding principles, or our liberty will eventually evanesce.

My text was not merely a speech but it was a good review over everything we have wrong in this country. I was just telling the facts, without a bias. Times change, and the framers even said the Constitution will need change. Our constitution has been amended a total of 27 times. Whether our constitution is being nostalgic to the "Good ol' Washington days", or being realistic to now, we still need to follow it and respect it until it is changed again. So conservatives do not exactly believe in Traditionalism, but they want America to follow all of the rules and rights of our current documents. I totally respect the idea that Traditionalism can be dangerous, but what about our traditional ways can be dangerous? Freedom of speech, or do we constantly need Progressives trying to limit what is being said on talk-radio. The Progressive Era had many consequences on this country. During the Great Depression, the Progressives launched a counterrevolution that radically and fundamentally altered the nature of American society. President FDR and an overwhelmingly Democratic congress, through an array of federal projects, taxes, entitlements, and regulations known as The New Deal, which breached the constitution's firewalls. At first the SUpreme Court fought back, striking down New Deal programs as exceeding the limits of federal constitutional authority, violating state sovereignty, and trampling on private property rights. But rather than seek an expansion of federal government through the amendment process, he threatened the very makeup of the court by proposing to pack it with sympathetic judges that would go along with his counterrevolution. The federal government began passing laws and creating administrative agencies at a dizzying pace, increasing its control over economic activity and, hence, individual liberty. It used taxation not merely to fund constitutionally legitimate governmental activities, but also to redistribute wealth, finance, welfare programs, set prices and production limits, create huge public work programs, and establish pension and unemployment programs. From this era forward, the Democratic Party and the federal government would become inextricably intertwined, and the Democratic Party would become as dependent on federal power for its sustenance as the governmental dependents it would create. Ironically, industrial expansion resulting from WWll eventually ended the Great Depression, not the New Deal. Indeed, yes, the enormous tax and regulatory burden imposed on the private sector by the New Deal prolonged the economic recovery. Democrats do understand or appreciate the true value of liberty. Instead they set out to throw it away. They want more government, temporary solutions that are consequential in the long run, higher taxes, more welfare, social programs, e.t.c. Everything has changed since our founding. The government works around the constitution, the government is much bigger and more authorizing than ever before. Did I ever say that I could not chase my dreams? I just said that it was eligible in the way the framers set it up. Sharing with our "family" is not being forced to provide money at gunpoint, is it?
