Our Fragile Constitutional Republic: Abolished by the North American Union, Globalism, Apathy - Frosty Wooldridge

NBC’s Tonight Show host Jay Leno walks around Los Angeles streets asking easy questions of young people. His questions equate to what a sixth grader must know to move on to the seventh grade.
“Who was the first U.S. president?” Leno asked on a recent show.
“Richard Nixon?” an 18 year old girl answers. “No, no, it was James Dean!”
“Who was Charles Lindbergh?” Leno asked a guy crossing 77 Sunset Strip.
“I think he made cheese,” the man answered.
“How many eggs in a half dozen?” Leno asked another man.
“How many in a dozen?” the man answered. “If’n you tell me dat, I can figure it out.”
This may come as a surprise, but more Americans voted for an American Idol contestant than voted for George Bush to become president of the United States. Half of all eligible voters in the U.S. fail to vote in national elections. In excess of 80 percent of voters do not vote in local elections.
“Why won’t the people in Congress serve Americans?” a frustrated voter asked me at a convention.
“Because they serve corporations, money and the elite,” I answered. “Not enough Americans voted new people into office. All you get is the same old men with the same old thinking being bought off by moneyed interests–running this country into the ground.”
Little wonder this Constitutional Republic fails in the early part of the 21st century! Back in 1776, a man asked Ben Franklin what kind of a government the framers created. “A republic—if you can keep it,” Franklin quipped.
Not creating term limits for Congressional representatives proves the worst mistake of the Founding Fathers.
In the last 20 years, American apathy rose while Congressional ethics dropped. Voters return inept, corrupt and marginalized politicians back into office term after term.
The Leno bits sound funny, they represent a sad reality.
LAUSD schools have sunk to the lowest levels in tha nation. Many graduate from LAUSD high schools, without being able to read / write, or fluently speak English.
Of course, this has a LOT to do with the hundreds of thousands of illegal alien kids, from families where the mothers and fathers are illiterate, too, and, of course, they have some of the highest dropout rates.
This in the school district, which has a yearly budget, that is ONE BILLION higher, than the budget of Los Angeles (7 and 6 billion dollars, respectively).
