Novus Ordo Baptista

Let's throw in some term limits. Our forfathers never expected career politicians to take over the country and do what benifitted themselves.

 

The Law is very explicit in most all cases, we interpret the law the same as we do the scripture to fit our already preconceived ideas.

 

One thing I would like to see is a line item veto. Maybe one way to curb judicial activisim would be to require both the House and Senate approve judicial appointments, especially to the Supreme Court. Also, maybe a part of the new Constitution should require laws to be ruled on based on orginal intent rather than evolving society.

Most of all, I would like to see functions of the Federal Government strictly limited to what is defined in the Constitution. For example, today that would eliminate the Department of Education, and give that power to the states where it belongs.

It would also be forbidden, as written in the Constitution, to engage in any world organization that in any way limited our sovreignty. Treaties and alliances would be limited to bilateral or multilateral agreements with other countries that were in our interest, with the approval of Congress.

Immigration laws would be strictly enforced, and trade would be a tool with the goal of making this country as self sufficient as possible. Never again would we be dependent on another country to the degree it would damage our national interests if the other country decides to cut us off.

Finally, never again would there be two parties so saturated by evil that neither has any interest in serving the American people. Leaders first goal would be to serve. There would be no lobbyists, pork, lifetime office holders, or any other mechanism that steals the life blood out of our citizens to feed the greed and power of the leaders of the two parties.

While always wanting freedom of religion for anyone to worship as they please, never again would Christians be put on the defensive to express their faith. If schools were at the local level or run by private entities, then prayer in school would be no problem. If someone does not want to hear the prayer, they are welcome to leave the class for five minutes.

 

Repeal of the 17th amendment, and place the role of senatorial designees back on the states, rather than popular elections.

 

Let's see, "Read the Bills Act":

I could go on and on...

 

Lets give Vermont, Massachusettes, and California to China to pay off the debt we owe them.

 

Worst idea I've ever heard.


They'd nuke us for sure. Wouldn't you?

 

Well, before we give them those three gems, we might want to perfect our missle defense system.
