Governmental Subversion: Will America Go the Way of the Banana Republic?
2019-12-05
[American Thinker] Who would have ever thought the United States could lose its way and find itself on a slippery slope to becoming a banana republic in which political power is typically determined by coups rather than elections? But it appears that many in the Democrat Party are willing to go down this road and risk the nation’s continuity and stability in a desperate effort to regain power and control.

Since there is simply no greater crime against the United States, its Constitution and its people than subverting the government that is duly elected by the people, Americans need to clearly remind Washington that the legitimacy of our government comes exclusively from the people.

Think about it... why should Democrats in Congress be ignoring their legislative responsibilities, and wasting their time and the nation’s scarce resources with impeachment proceedings less than a year away from the next presidential election on November 3, 2020? And why would Democrats think impeachment a wise course to follow, particularly after putting the country through nearly two years of the Mueller investigation -- which proved to be a hoax?

What many are now realizing is that Democrat Party leadership has lost its bearings by surrendering control to the extreme left -- an amalgam of pro-Islamic and Marxist views as represented by the so-called "squad." The impeachment effort is not just an attack against Donald Trump; it’s also meant to dishearten and disenfranchise nearly half the country who voted for him.

The American Republic established by the Constitution provided for a more stable system of government based on honoring the results of scheduled elections than the parliamentary form of democracy, where politics and a no-confidence vote could bring a government down and require a new one to be formed on an unscheduled basis. Relative political stability and continuity of the American Republic has been the chief contributing factor to the nation’s civility, as well as its meteoric economic rise over the last 240 years.

#6  Kakistocracy, yes.

The rule of the worst.

And there's plenty who will support it so long as the Free Sheeit and validation of SJW power fantasies keep coming.

Diversity is our strength.

#3  Nope. It's not oligarchy, it's a bureaucracy.

#2  Everything appeared to be going swimmingly until the Presidential election results of 2016 were announced.

#1  Hmm...no its no longer a republic. When you have one whole branch of government sit for life and unaccountable to the people which has constantly assumed more and more power and purview over the daily experience of normal Americans while ignoring the written text of the Constitution, it can not be a republic. Well, other than 'Peoples Democratic Republic of...'.
