Here it comes! The dismantling of the rights of the states and its right there in the Wall Street Journal. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122930124441705413.html?mod=rss_opinion_main
Jonathan Soros (yes, that son of the Soros) is pushing the elimination of the Electoral College. But he isn’t calling for a Constitutional amendment to do it, he’s calling for a rejection of the Constitution to do it.
Remember, the President is NOT elected by the people in this country. The President is elected by the States. It is that way for a reason. If the President were elected by the people directly, the President would no longer be the President of the United States, he (or she) would be the President of the Federal Government and that leads to dictatorship. The founding fathers knew that and set it up so it could not happen here.
But it can. Soros has found a way to circumvent the Constitution and he’s out there calling for it like there is no consquence to his sedition. Well, it would appear there is no consequence to sedition these days, so perhaps he’s comfortable in knowing that.
Soros’ WSJ article is an admitted rejection of lawful authority and an attempt to overthrow a part of the Consitution. It is a call to override the Constitution through outright rejection of one of the most important sections of it. The Electoral College.
Will anyone hold him accountable for it? Don’t expect it. It appears these days the Republican Administration has no balls.

That article is just plain scary!

Sickening
MGamo (Diary) Monday, December 15th at 10:13AM EST (link)Same nonsense that liberals spit out because they’re still hungover from the 2000 election. I’m already in the midst of writing a scathing letter to the editor about this rubbish.

It is worse than scary
WHAT (Diary) Monday, December 15th at 10:19AM EST (link)We need the electoral college now more than ever because most of the voters are so dumbed down they don’t know even the basics about their government. It figures that four of the most socialistic, Democrat dominated states have gone along with it. I especially like that the “Sopranos” states of Illinois and New Jersey should be held out as role models. The commies are knocking at the door, don’t answer it.

I think Mr Soros is confusing his revolutions.
I expect no less from a Soros

Don’t bother the Soros elite with facts like the very reason the founding fathers included this design was to keep that from happening.
The Soros lust for power has no bounds.
You noticed in all the recent Wallstreet legislation the hedge fund managers did not get regulated further. That would have hit the Soroses in the pocketbook and would never be allowed.
Time for renewal!
