Small Federal Government.

Well firstly i'm going to address your argument that seamed prominent in your argument, that being the constitution is old, worn out and should not be used as a guideline anymore for the president. Here are my 2 responses to this; 1. How did America go from 13 small colonies to the single most powerful country in the world? Because people knew that in America their rights would be respected by the government, because of the bill of rights, because of this millions upon millions of foreign born nationals have flooded into the United States. Because the constitution was designed with safeguards so these citizens would have a chance to live freely without any communist, socialist fascist government breathing down their backs. 2. Under your thinking, that the constitution is old and shouldn't be used anymore, then what do we have to limit the government? Without following the constitution with strict precision our government will spiral out of control, like China, like North Korea, there needs to be boundaries and if the constitution is ignored those boundaries don't exist anymore. You where talking about how we have the freedom of speech. Turns out that freedom is written into the constitution, if the Constitution shouldn't be used anymore then the freedom is also old and worn out and shouldn't be protected. So your somewhat contradicting yourself when you say that we shouldn't use the constitution as a guideline and yet say that we should have the freedom of speech. Under your ideology then, the government should be allowed to take away our freedoms whenever they want, do you think this country went from nothing to the most powerful in the world because of luck? America used to stand as a symbol of liberty to the oppressed world, the only reason we got to where we are today, is because of the constitution. Moving on, i'm going to address your points on how Obama was handed this mess and how he has done a lot to help this country. I'm going to also address these arguments in 1 major point; 1. What has Obama really done to help this country? So far all of his jobs programs have failed, hes brought us $5,000,000,000,000 more in debt that we where when he started, he took a mess that was in the toilet and essentially flushed the toilet. He went to war with Libya, has not fulfilled his promises to bring the troops home, hasn't actually closed Guantanamo bay, signed a vague bill known as the NDAA which allows him and the military to detain any U.S Citizen suspected of terrorism indefinitely without trial. Yet the bill didn't actually define who the terrorist is so for all we know it could be anyone the government says is a terrorist. So far he hasn't followed the constitution, which is pretty much the duty of every single president. If we shouldn't follow the constitution, then what should we follow? What your proposing is that the government be allowed to do anything without boundaries. Is that the society that you want to live in? Where the government can do anything? Its time we limit the government, make it smaller firstly, because we as a country cannot keep borrowing money to stay alive, the U.S government spends $5 billion a day, 3.8 of that being borrowed. Obviously, starting another war is minimizing the affect with the republicans... You say were not china as we don't block internet websites, but let me remind you that very recently two pieces of legislation almost passed through congress, those being the bills SOPA and PIPA. We where this close to letting the government control the internet. That is what happens when the government doesn't follow the constitution. The constitution itself may be old but its fundamentals, its ideals are still useful and needed. You asked for a definition of a free society, well here is what I think a free society should look like; People should have the right to their own property, without being coerced into being searched by police officers, without having government agents abusing their powers to search for things, that are not specifically stated in a warrant. A free society where you can start a business without having to get a licence. Where you can sell things without the government knowing, where you can have free trade. I believe in a society where the government's power is limited so you can do what you want where you want when you want, as long as it does not violate the property of others. Pretty much the definition you posted. Not following the constitution like you suggested is preposterous. Say good bye to a free thriving society.
