RE: My Response To @cryptoeagle And The New Paradigm That We Are Entering

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

Can we please stop repeating this fallacy of Adam kokesh being elected president then issuing an executive order abolishing the government? This is not possible. ALL executive orders are subject to judicial review and may be overturned if the orders lack support by statute or the Constitution. Also, major policy initiatives (which this would be) require review by the legislative branch (congress and the house of reps). Do you honestly believe any of these self-serving legislators would agree to terminate their own livelihood?
Also, by running for president in the traditional manner, as he is doing, he is only validating the system, not bucking it. This makes him a politician, just like the rest of them.

Sort:  

I agree it wouldn't be as easy as one single executive order.

  • But he could shut down a LOT of bureaucracies which were created by EO.
    • For instance, the EPA, DOE, ...
      • And then the other 2 branches would bring legal proceedings against him.
    • and that would be an interesting battle to watch...
  • I think he is using this more as an awareness campaign, and not something he actually thinks he can do. But then again, I could be wrong...
    • He is concerned that if the out of control federal government is not brought under control, some way, then it might get overthrown via a bloody revolution. He's laying out a bloodless revolution...
      • BTW It's Adam...
  • This vet loves America and has sworn an oath to the defend the Constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
    • Most legislators and court members are enemies of the Constitution,
      so I'm all for getting rid of them in whatever means possible.
      • As much as I love our Constitution,
        it has failed us miserably
        or better said, we have failed it miserably
        and allowed tyrants and despots to ASSume authority over us...

Sorry, Adam, I corrected my previous comment, thanks. I agree with some of your points and am not questioning his motive. I just don't feel our current system can be fixed, or revolutionized, from the inside out. A revolution, by it's very nature is violent, unfortunately.
Your second to last bullet point in your reply is right on, and I'm with you there!

Followed you cuz

  • iron sharpens iron
    • look forward to more good discussions...

Right back at you @wizardave!
