As a result, it is the Constitution of the United States which is under attack. In the past five years every aspect of the constitution has been challenged. From individual rights to states rights to the balance of power between branches of government and the separation of church and state, not one area has been unscathed. All of this has been done with such brilliance that the nation has been complicit in its own demise.Guy T. Sturino makes a case that in the last five years our constitution has been attacked as never before. This is not to say the demise of our system of government did not occur prior to 9/11, only that the pace has certainly quickened.
I have always been of the opinion and tried as best I might to show that our demise began literately with the birth of the constitution in 1789 (Federalist Papers' lies and deceit), was solidified in the 1860's (Lincoln's tyranny), advanced beyond belief in the 1930's (FDR's New Deal), advanced again in the 1960's (more socialism in the Great Society). The pace of progressive socialism is less definable since the 1960's. Corporatism has grown and the goals and objectives of megacorporations essentially go hand in hand with a more socialist based society. Free people with individual rights, and strong states with inherent rights are not good consumers. A social collective with a strong central government is a friend to corporatism.
Of course socialism plus corporatism are two key elements in fascism. Yes I said fascism, that is not just a term for Nazis, our "progress" over the last 227 years had led us straight from free and independent states comprised of citizens with individual liberties to a state that very closely resembles an embryonic socialist entity. Corporations have more power and influence than any citizen or group of citizens might ever hope to wield.

I for one have no desire to live in Leviathan.

I find your comments about our country being in trouble since the beginning fascinating. I've been looking into the idea recently that we've had secretive (unless you know where to look) legislation subverting the Constitution (as you mentioned). I came across an article that you may find interesting that discusses some of the "mostly unknown" facts about the founding fathers and early America: DISCOVER THREE PURPOSES OF THE CONSTITUTION
