Unfortunately the fear that Madison had about factions is becoming more and more the case. If anything truly endangers the Republic, it is that. There is also a sizable effort to de-legitimize the Founding Fathers as racist and elites and to call the Constitution stupid and outdated. That needs to be resisted. When we have a Supreme Court that has basically become a means to circumvent the appeal process of the Constitution, we remain just a few SCOTUS appointments away from true tyranny.

No, no, no, EBL. The Constitution is a living, breathing document for the Liberals to shred in court. When it gets in the way, it is ignored. It was written by old dead, irrelevant White Men 240 years ago this year, matter of fact. It was a framework, but it's all knocked down now. We can celebrate it all we want, but it is gone now. What we have now is a free-for-all, dictated by Liberals, starting with the press that picks and chooses the winners of their own choice. It's over, just enjoy the decline now.
ReplyDeleteOh Jeez I don't want to mix metaphors because I hate that "living, breathing document" crap, but I know that the physical state of the Republic is way worse than Hillary Clinton's health last Sunday. Still, I have to note the day.
DeleteEBL, as you enjoy the decline, sometime, slide over to Netflix and enjoy the old series, "Dick Van Dyke Daytime Show". 5 seasons, 28 episodes per, America at it's very best. Talented, funny, no perversions displayed and actual writing of good humor. Nuclear families, they have children, they celebrate Christmas, New York City in the age of Christian values and mores. All gone now, but a good trip back. Shit.
ReplyDeleteJim, you might also enjoy Woodsterman's alternative holiday today
DeleteYeah, yeah, Woodsterman! Crazy bastard. When my girl gets up here tonight, my grill will look like his, only not as many! No propane for me either. I look in on him every now and then. The guy is an artist at his craft. You see the hope chests and other treats he builds? Beautiful stuff. I can fix stuff and that has served me well and truly. But I can't create like that, people that design and build beautiful things, rooms, buildings, especially things of wood are genuinely unique, beyond special. I look at how they turn something from nothing and I just ask myself how the hell do they even DO that? That I ask is indicative of low IQ and aptitude. A man has GOT to know his limitations..
