Topic: Constitutional
Sometimes ol dave might look slow, but tis only an illusion. Im off thinking about the next topic to write about.
Far from the reactionary Liberal, I look at a current issue then spend weeks/months thinking it over.
Something was bothering me about this "term limits" scam Email floating around, especially since the people who refuse to think (especially troubling when its in the Tea Party) simply jump on this subversive bandwagon without noticing where its going.
Right to hell is where its going, and Ive finally figgered out the scam behind it. Its extremely slick!
There are already "term limits" in the US Constitution, and Ive written about that here, and written to the TP also.
The critical question is "what does term mean?" "Term" means "how long" and thats established in the C.
What this scam email is proposing is not term limits, but re-election limits based on the idea, passed off easily on people who are not paying attention, of "eliminating the bad apples."
The more obvious problem is that it also eliminates "good apples."
Thats not what its about. It finally hit me what it was about, oddly enough, watching re-runs of "24" (since there isnt crap else on TV fit to watch)
In this particular day, President Palmer has been removed from Orifice by the Cabinet over the nuclear bomb detonated over NV. One of his advisors is credited for 'having been around a long time and being in tune with whats going on' (paraphrased)
then it hit me - term limits are about keeping CONgress full of the uninitiated who DONT KNOW WHATS GOING ON and are easy to bullshit.
If so called "term limits" are imposed, it keeps CONgress full of people who dont know what the shadow Government known as the Administration are up to, and its an ongoing game.
When CONgress and pRESIDENCY are inhabited by the uninitiated, they are easy (easier) to lead around by the nose by the Administration (Exec. departments such as FBI CIA NSA IRS DHHS DoAg DoE where agendas are kept alive for years, outside of teh reach of the term limits imposed by the Constitution.
Sorry it took me so long to figger it out...
