Trying to change our form of government?

I have been having serious thoughts particularly about the health insurance thing. We know that the stuff is written by staffers rather than by people we elected to office which means in essence, that we are not a democracy since the representatives themselves have admitted to having little knowledge of the bill's content. Is this the way our freedom and liberty is to be taken away from us? Are people with an obvious agenda, who have over the years infiltrated the staffs of our congressional representatives, moving us toward a autocracy or yet some other form of government?

The United States is truly fortunate that our founding fathers could see that this kind of thing could develop although the Federalists did all they could to weaken states rights. But with each state having a chief executive and a standing army and in some cases an air force (even though Kennedy tried to nationalize the National Guard) we have some protection against the federal government.

Sooner or later this is all going to come to a head. Come to think of it, the Civil War was a result of the exact same thing, where the federal government was dictating to the states rather than the other way around. That of course resulted in rebellion. There are some states who are positioned to precipitate such a scenario again should it become necessary.

Just as those who are bent on changing our form of government are surreptitiously working to achieve their sinister outcome, there are others who are similarly dedicated to assure that the radicalization of the United States never takes place (see our Second Amendment).
