As he was leaving the final session of the Constitutional Convention, a woman asked him, "What government have you given us, Mr. Franklin?"
"A Republic," he replied, "if you can keep it."
For more than a century the Democratic party has intentionally and with malice whittled away at that Republic, being joined in that effort over the past couple of decades by the GOP.
Today we are at a precipice, where-upon 51% of the electorate can demand, and in many cases is demanding, that the other 49% pony up for the majority's every need and want. Healthcare is just another in a long line of such demands.
Our Founders would be mortified. Our Republic and its Constitution lie shredded on the floor of political greed and expediency.
