The Politics of Balance
September 1st, 2010 by Dan Carrington posted in Political Issues | No Comments »The United States of America is approaching it’s 250th year of existence. I hadn’t really thought of it that way until just now. But, really, it’s only 16 years away. That’s not really all that far, when you think about it. It’ll be here in the blink of an eye.
When I think back over the last couple hundred years of American politics, particularly as it pertains to our political parties, something strikes me profoundly about where we are today. Now, I can’t presume to know exactly what the founding fathers had in mind, though we do have enough material written by them to make some educated guesses. And it seems to me that if they were to look into the future and see with way our political system works today, they would have dedicated more time to preventing certain things by making certain things a bit more clear in such documents as our Constitution.
