Volume 4, Part 2, Chapter 1
The Electoral College, composed of officials chosen by the state in a number equivalent to their respective congressional delegations, was intended to be limited term legislative body which would select a chief executive. This sytem would preserve elements of representation found in both the House and the Senate, while also preserving the powers of the separate states.
Do you believe in miracles?
One occurred on November 7th 2000
The Electoral College is one of the vital checks and balances created by the Founding Fathers to ensure the preservation of liberty. How brilliant they were when it came to government corruption. They had already experienced the inequities from the Kings (King George in England) and knew how corrupt rulers and tyrants could take over their country if there were no "law".
Now that the liberal-socialists lost their power in the White House it made way to true freedom one more time in America. Each time the stronghold of the fiat government slips backwards it creates another opportunity for the American people to discover an honest government.
The Electoral college has often been described as a peculiar institution and now with this miracle on November 7th 2000 so many liberal-socialists want to see the end of such a brilliant concept. Hillary Clinton, the new Senator from New York, was the first to say, "Let's get rid of the Electoral College." If you are not too bias, you might reply that she needs to do this in order for her to rise to greater power. We all know by now that she wishes to be president one day in order to prove something to her husband Bill Clinton, that she is a better person than him when it comes to politics. She would be the first to say. "Wouldn't it be simpler to go by the popular votes." ...especially when all of the liberal-socialist power comes from the concentrated cities and industrial areas of the country. We already have discovered that Bush won a large majority of countiesand if the voting electoral process would come from the counties won President G.W.Bush would have won very easily. The count had been 2,434 counties won by Bush and 677 counties won by Gore. That is a 4:1majority. This is something which should be brought out to the American people but because the media is liberal there is little hope of this becoming an issue to never forget.
The Founding Fathers as the Framers of the U.S.Constitution understood that when it comes to true freedom the simplest solution is not necessarily the one most compatible with the preservation of a free institution. Now we hear from all corners of the "liberal-socialists" the calls to abolish the Electoral College system. These liberal elitists are to be found mostly on the coasts in the New York area and that too of California. The map of the United States printed by the newspaper USA Today illustrates why this is so.... and why Americans who wish to restore limited government must work to preserve the Electoral College. On this map we see that the blue fringes on the coastal linesin the New York area and that too of California. The map of the Unites States printed by USA Today illustrates why this is so.... and why Americans who wish to restore limited government must work to preserve the Electoral College. On this map we see that the blue fringes on the bicoastal lines were in favor of Gorewith the occasional flecks scattered across the midwest ( and several clusters that are found in statets with high reates of illegal immigration and lareg population of thinly assimilated immigranmts). The Bush votes dominated the Western states, the South and the Midwest.
Another good look at the counties we can see that those which carried Bush are more economically productive thatn those which went for Gore. If we take a look at the economic growth of the counties we find that during the past 10 years the Bush counties enjoyed a 14 percent rate of economic growth as compared to 5 percent in the Gore counties.
In a different area of virtues, we find that Bush's counties were significantly so as we all know that the large cities have the illiterate and dysfunctional citizens who even do not know how to punch a simple ballot. We know that crime infest these areas with gang crimes, murder and robbery. We can also be certain that the counties which favor Bush have homes full of firearms, and we all know why.
In a race in which Bush was
inaccurately perceived as an advocate of smaller, less intrusive
government, and Gore ran a campaign rooted in vulgar appeals to
class envy and racial hostility, rural America.... where the productive,
law-abiding citizens seek refuge.... voted almost unanimously
for Bush and against the Clinton legacy. Urban America which is
full of constituencies dependent upon transfers of government-plundered
wealth, voted for Gore. Although Gore claimed a slightly larger
share of the popular vote, his supporters, who perceived him as
the candidate of redistributionist government, are thin on the
ground. This is measured in terms of aggregate population rather
than the numbers of votes, Bush won counties with a total of 142
million compared to Gore's 127 million. We can now see that it
is possible to drive from Fort Dick on the Pacific coast in a
more or less straight line to Ocean City, Maryland, without passing
through a single county that voted for Gore.
The 2000 miracle election demostrated how advocates of invasive,
plunder-crazed government could win the popular vote by focusing
their efforts upon winning the population-dense urban centers
and ignoring the vast expanse of the rest of the country which
contains people with higher vitues and greater responsibilities.
The idea that America was intended to be a "democracy"
and that the president is supposed to be a vessel of the "people's
will", both of these concepts are entirely alien to the constitutional
system as designed by the Framers. "Majority Rule" is
indeed a basic tenet of democracy. The Framers of the Constitution,
however, understanding how democracy rapidly degenerates into
mob rule and then into tyranny, created a republic, a government
of law, designed to protect the rights of the individual. As James
Madison observed in the Federalists, Number 10, many issues of
grace consequences "are too often decided, not according
to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but
by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority."
This is particularly the case when the majority is uninformed
about the issues involved and is misled by demagogueswho claim
to hae its best interests in mind.
Definition of Demagogue:
One who leads the populace by pandering to their prejudices and
passions, an unprincipled politician.
Political issues are best decidedafter sound derliberation, but
the closr a country moves toward direct democracy, the less deliberation
takes place, and the more political issues are decided by passion
based on the agitated, often deliberately misinformed whims of
the moment.
The Founding Fathersunderstood that just as sitis wrong for a
dictatorship or a monarchy to violate basic rights, it is also
wrong for a "democratic" government to do so. The fact
that rulers of a mjoritarian systemclaim to act in the name of
the people for some supposed greater good does not make whatever
totalitarian measures they impose any more palatable.
"From their vast knowledge of history, the American Founding
Fathers knew that unlimited political power cannot safely be trusted
to anyone, not to appointed officials of government, not to elected
representatives of the people, not tothe people themselves,"
observed constitutional scholar Dan Smoot. "Hence, they
devises a system to control political power by dispersing it and
balancing it so that too much power could not be concentrated
inany oneplace."
The system created by the Founders could usefully be thought
of as a mixed government" combining elements of popular,
aristocraticand monarchial governments in a constitutional framework.
This is brilliantand far above the consciousness of present day
politicians who delve in corruption on a daily basis.
The functions assigned by the constitution to the central government
were distributed among three branches, the legislative, executive
and judicial, with the legislative branch itself split between
the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The House represents the people; the Senate was originally elected
by the state legislature to represent the interests of the various
states. The Electoral College, composed of officials chosen by
the states in a number equivalent to their respective congressional
delegations, was intended to be limited-term legislative body
that would select a chief executive. This sytem would preserve
elements of representation found in both of the House and the
Senate, while also preserving the powers of the separate states.
Just as importantly, through the Electoral College the process
of selecting a president was controled by the states, rather than
by remote central governments, which wold always seek to enlarge
itspowers at the expense of the states. This same arrangement
that would protect the states from federal encroachment was also
intended to frustrate the emergence of a democratic executive
despotism.
Defintion of Encroachment:
Entrance upon the rights of another, especially gradual intrusion.
The contemporary minds, "democratic
despotism" seems like an oxymoron . However, the Founders.....
Definition of Despot:
An absolute monarch, autocrat, a hard master, tyrant.
Defintion of Oxymoron:
Contradictory terms are brought sharply together.
.....were quite familiar with
the way in which ancient demagogues like Catiline and Caeser had
seized power by bribing the masses with other people's property.
In remarks to the 1787 Philadelphia Convention, Eldridge Gerry
of Massachusetts, in warning about the evils of an "excess
of democracy", made specific mention of the "danger
of the leveling spirit", the plunder-lust that inspires mob
rule. Benjamin Franklin also offered a cogent warning about
how the "leveling spirit" that animates democracy can
lead to monarchial or executive despotism.
Defintion of Cogent:
Compelling belief, assent or action; forcible, convincing
"There is a natural inclination
in mankind to Kingly Government," observed Franklin during
the June 2nd session. "They had rather have one tyrant than
five hundred. It gives more of the appearance of equality among
Citizens, and that they like. I am apprehensive therefore, that
the government of these States, may in the future times, end in
a Monarchy." That such a monarch would be an elected ruler
would be of little comfort since Franklin observed, "There
is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow
the example of Pharoah, get first all the people's money, then
all their lands, and then make them and their children servants
forever." We can now see from the very words of Bill Clinton,
December 20th 2000 during his TV interview with Dan Rather, that,
"Gun Controls do not mean to take away guns from people.
It is not intended to do so." Those who are conscious enough
know that it is just one step in the direction of gun abolishment
when these words come from a dictator. The past eight years of
Clinton's rule have been to half of the country a signal that
a dictatorship does exist and therefore the miracle of 2000 election
came to be. As described previously the brilliant Founders knew
that this would happen as everything is predictable when it comes
to corrupted human nature. They knew that they had to preserve
freedom through the Electoral College something which Hillary
Clinton and her comrades will try hard to destroy as they continue
toundermine the U.S.Constitution or at least try to in the next
4 years (2001 to 2005).
Subsequent history had simply validated the Founder's rejection
of democracy, as tyrants claiming to embody the "general
will" have reigned with blood and horror in nearly every
clime.
Definition of Clime:
A country region, climate.
Adolph Hitler came to power in Nazi Germany (1933) after a perfectly
democratic election with little if any demonstrable vote fraud,
in which the majority of the voters cast ballots for either the
Communist or National Socialist Party (Nazis). As measured in
purely democratic terms, the "will of the German people"
in 1933 was behind some form of totalitarian rule masked in euphemistic
language. Hitler having won a dominant plurality, was appointed
chancellor, quickly consolidated dictatorial powers and abolished
what remained of the independence of Germany's individual states.
Definition of Euphemism:
A mild or agreeable expression substituted for a realistic description
of something disagreeable.
Definition of Plurality:
Majority, the excess of the highest number of votes cast for any
one candidate.
Now we have seen and experienced the liberal -socialist party
of Clinton and Gore repeatedly stating "the will of the
people" when it came to recount, recount and recount the
ballots. It was no different in Nazi Germany as the euphemism
was expressed.
Had Germany possessed a mechanism like the Electoral Collegewas
originally designed to be, Hitler's ascent may have been prevented.
The German people of the 1930's, after all, did not want to
be slaves any more than the American people of today, but many
were ignorant of Hitler's true intent and were swayed by his demagoguery.
They were promised security and greatness and given totalitarianism
instead. Bill Clinton and the later Gore potentially had participated
in the same ploy. History had repeated itself invisible to half
of the country with only a miracle to prevent such a disaster.
One can see that the liberal-socialists describe the Republcan
party as Nazis in order to sway their needy, ignorant and brainwashed
followers to stick with their party which truly has the "indentations"
of a true Nazi party, the liberal-socialists of America within
the Democrats. Notice how they keep the public schools inadequate
in order to maintain a control on the minds of masses to rule.
We will now see during the next four years whether Bush will
make drastic changes or will his agenda be no different? We must
not wait too long to discover if any conspiracy exists and always
remember thatthe liberal-socialists can come back quickly.
Hitler's Nazi Party, like the proponents of a directly-elected
U.S.president, believed that the Executive should personify the
"will of the people". In the section setting forth
the concept of Fuhrerprinzip (the "leader principle"),
the Nazi Party's organization book explained: "The Fuhrer-Reich
of the people is founded on the recognition that the true will
of the people....in its pure and uncorrupted form can only be
expressed through the Fuhrer.... He shapes the collective will
of the people within himself... (His) power is not limited by
checks and controls... but is free and independent, all-inclusive
and unlimited.
Now that you have read the Nazi Party's principle ideology you
can fully understand how power, when given to psychopathic leaders
no matter whether in a "democracy" or dictatorship,
will become manipulative to eventually destroy a nation. Bill
Clinton began to create the base for a dictatorship. Half of
America, because of their weakness, their guilt and need for such
a deceitful leader favored the Clinton's era. We are living in
a very dysfunctional era of time. Then it came to Gore who catered
to the same mentalities, the dysfunctional illiterates in the
big cities and industrial areas. Racial divisiveness gave Gore
the Black votes. Only because of Clinton's inadequacies in
the areas of morals and values did he destroy any future plan
for America under the already created dictatorship well disguised
behind the propaganda and demagoguery.
In the recent decades the office of the president has come to
acquire many of the features associated with dictatorship. This
trend had escalated dramatically during the second Clinton term,
during which the operative maxim was the witticism of Paul Begala:
"Stroke of the pen. Law of the Land. Kinda cool."
Coupled with the grotesquely exaggerated powers now claimed by
the presidency, elimination of the Electoral College would put
additional impetus behind the transformation of the office from
that of a constitutionally restrained executive to that of an
elected dictator. We have already had a dictator based upon
his executive orders in the hundreds unaware to the masses.
George W.Bush, now president, will have an endless job of changing
all of the executive orders created by dictator Bill Clinton.
When you consider the cost of doing all of these dictatorial
acts and the time wasted by the president how can one ever respectfully
look at Bill Clinton. In a way this is an outrage because he
looked down at his countrymen after taking a sworn oath to abide
by the Constitution. We could see a president building upon
the base of the Constitution, hopefully to be seen from Bush,
but to see a president undermine everything that two hundred years
had created is an outrage. Bill Clinton must have read books
on past psychopathic leaders and learned the way to build upon
the destruction of a true democracy and especially this republic,
however now finding that an Electoral College intervened, an Electoral
Collegedesigned by brilliant and spiritual minds based upon the
Will of God not that of evil. A miracle intervened and hopefully
Americans might realize how important it had been to see the separation
of good from evil arriving similarly to the separating of the
Red Sea at the time of Pharoah. Yes, miracles do happen however
how many will see this in the modern dysfunctional era of Bill
Clinton's presidency.
In a refreshing departure from her generlly liberal tilt, syndicated
columnist Georgie Anne Geyer had pointed out that direct election
of the president would presage the emergence of "the totalist
state.....
Definition of Presage:
An indication of something to come. A prophetic impression. Prediction.
.....in America." "In history, the development of 'direct
democracy' in which the leader communicates directly with the
people instead of being chosen (and controlled) by intermediary
organizations such as ..... an Electoral College.... has distinct
ominous undertone, observed Geyer in the November 17th column.
Definition of Ominous:
Of the nature of or marked by an omen or by a presentiment of
evil. Portentous. Serving as an omen. Prognostic.
"In modern times, the phrase can be traced to Italy during
the 1930's and to the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, who
developed a mesmerizing hold over the Italian people. In Cuba,
from the beginning , Fidel Castro, now Bill Clinton's friend,
defined his charismatic spell over the Cubans as a case of 'direct
democracy", a 'spontaneous approval of the masses', and
a 'constant plebiscite of public opinion' ".
Definition of Plebiscite:
An expression of the popular will by means of a vote by the whole
people usually resorted to in important changes as those dealng
with the constitution and sovereignty.
Referring to the growing trend across the U.S. toward various
forms of "direct democracy" Professor Laurence Berns
of St.John's College warns that our nation is headed toward "that
degenerate form of democracy called variously plebiscitary democracy,
totalitarian democracy, or more simply, demagogic despotism.
Fisher Ames, a congressman of America's founding era, warned
that"Every step.....towards a more complete, unmixed democracy
is an advance towards destruction; it is treading where the ground
is treacherous and excavated for an explosion. Liberty has never
yet lasted long in a democracy, nor has it ever ended in anything
better than despotism.
When it comes to national elections.....In the system designed
by the Framers of the Constitution, there were to be no nagtional
elections. As originally specified in the Constitution, electors
were chosen by the state governments through any method deemed
by them to be appropriate. The electors would meet in their
respective states and cast votes for two candidates, one of whom
must be from another state. The candidate receiving the most
votes (if he receives a majority ) would be president, with the
second-place finisher serving as a vice-president. If no candidate
received a majority, the House would select a winner from among
the top five contenders in a special election in which each state
would receive one vote, and the winner would be required to claim
an absolute majority.
As the majority of a nation become degenerate and dysfunctional,
which we now see in America (2001), there becomes a very serious
and significant reality to the future of the country. When
these kind of thinkers elect their own kind of leaders the country
hangs helplessly and crucially at a point of total spiritual collapse
into the hands of evil. We already know that democracies do not
last and so we see today the end is beginning, however at which
side of the wave. This author had pointed out in 1992, "Is
Another Hitler Coming?" Now we have seen eight year slip
by and almost a travesty to occur. Dysfunctional people do not
see, listen or take heed. Their consciousness is overwhelmed
by security worries and addictions such as gambling where we
can now see that a gambling society is a crumbling society.
Another serious problem is pornography and the emphasis on sex
while these sick addictions decompose the spirituality of most
human minds into submission to easily become brainwashed.
The Framers intended that the individuals chosen to serve as
electors, forming what amounts to a temporary legislative body
with one specific purpose, would be sober, public-minded men.
Alexander Hamilton put in the Federalist No. 68, "the immediate
election of the president should be made by men most capable of
analyzing the qualitities adapted to the station and acting under
circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination
of all the reasons and inducements, which were proper to govern
their choice." One of the principle advantages of this system,
insisted Gov. Morris was, "that of taking away the opportunity
for cabal."
Definition of Deliberate:
To think or consider carefully over a length of time.
Defintion of Cabal:
A number of persons secretly united to some private purpose. Conspiracy.
