In his farewell speech, Republican Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn left his fellow United States Senators with a solemn tear-filled warning that the continued existence of America as a republic is in grave danger.
Alluding to President Barack Obama’s persistent trend of avoiding the system of checks and balances via executive orders and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) fairly recent act of “tyranny” by deciding other senators’ rights, Coburn alerted dozens of his colleagues in the Senate that America’s failure to stick to the Constitution and the founding father’s intent will only result in the U.S. repeating history by becoming just another failed republic.
Despite the bleak warning, Coburn said that there is still hope for America, but that it must radically change its doomed course of turning its back on the very documents that birthed America hundreds of years ago — the U.S. Constitution.
“Can we cheat history?” Coburn asked colleagues at the nation’s capital. “Can we do something better than has been done in the past?”
Coburn answered his own question by saying its possible, but not if America’s leaders continue to rewrite the documents and ignore the intent behind them.
“I honestly believe we can,” Coburn insisted. “But I don’t believe we can if we continue to ignore the wisdom of our founding documents.”
