Yea, it could be, if we actually followed those principles. Start with returning power to the states so we can de-centralize government power. What Beto is imaging is concentrating more power in the hands of the global elites and using bread & circuses to distract the peasants.

I'm not sure whether he's saying a) we really need to stop being the global military-hegemon in order to preserve the limited-govt principals of the founders or b) we need to tear up the constitution and get super-progressive so we can hegemon more-efficiently

Reading the article, its clear 'that's the point' - be vague, but thoughtful-sounding, churn out soundbytes that 'raise questions' and allow voters on any side of an issue to imagine he's "their kind of guy" Its Obamatown

Vague pablum means he ain't doing a damn thing. If he was serious he would name names of wars he would end and bases he would close.

This statement by Beto is actualy frightening in which he is not criticizing this presence & this empire but worried that in order to expand more we need a new set of adminstrative reform . This mdrfker is even more scarier than Neocons. they love him in DC . fit for the ofc .

The reason we are in that position is because we have ignored the principles that were set down 230-plus years ago.

Doesn't look like he's using the term "empire" negatively.

Yes it can because the priciples in the Constitution elaborate a system of perpetual advancement, not a set of specific goals.

Any constitution is going to be crap if you only follow it when it's convenient for your political ideal.

You can reconstitute the republic either thru the constitutional method or thru a coup which would probably involve a civil war. Here’s hoping you were only thinking of the former method. And Beto too. But yeah let’s pretend and write what a constitution 4 today would look like.

And is the subtext here that Beto is proposing to make America greater? Adding more states?

Umm, the military presence itself is a departure from those principles, and instead of returning to those we should come up with some new rules to compensate for the departure? No thank you.
