Where Does The Hatred Of Constitutionalism Come From?

The Constitution of the United States is an undeniably powerful document. So powerful in fact, that it took establishment elitists with aspirations of globalized governance over a century to diminish the American people’s connection to it. It’s been a long time coming, but in the new millennium, there is now indeed a subsection of the masses that not only have no relationship to our founding roots, they actually despise those of us who do!

There are a number of reasons for this dangerous development in our culture: A public school system that rarely if ever teaches children about the revolution, the founders, constitutional liberty, or the virtues of individualism in general. A mainstream media apparatus that has regurgitated endless anti-constitutional shlock for decades, attacking any person or group that presents a freedom oriented view. And a governmental structure that has become so corrupt, so openly criminal, that they ignore all aspects of constitutional law without regard, rarely feeling the need to explain themselves. As a people, we are surrounded daily by the low droning wash-talk of denigration and disdain for our principled foundations. The wretched ghosts of collectivism and tyranny mumble in our ears from birth to death. It’s truly a miracle that every man and woman in this nation has not succumbed to the mind numbing hypnotism…

However, our propaganda soaked environment is not the ONLY cause of our self destructive society; many people are themselves to blame. Severe character flaws and psychological imbalances have left some open to suggestion, manipulation, and fraud. Their hatred, though fueled in part by the socialization of the establishment, is still theirs to own.

Yes, I agree. The underlying driving force behind all this.

[ZULU]

Political correctness and our own apathy have allowed this to grow.

Amen... JESUS will win... I just pray that he will have me as his sword.

I have dual citizenship: Germany and America. Some choice; whether to live under an iron fist or an iron glove? What purpose common law and constitutions when czars, regulators, executive orders, PC, government-media collusion, judicial globalism, and abandonment of common sense, cultural-religious values and responsibility circumvent them?

America may yet have the barest of edges in individual freedoms, but the balance has tipped to an idiotic, information-resistant, labile, self-serving electorate.

When in Germany I am at least comforted by a semblance of competence.

Of course I know your reply will be to remind me that all the Progressive rot to which we have descended originated in the Germanic Prussian state.

Just wanted to save you the effort :)

While the modern "Welfare State" may have been associated with developments in Bismark's Prussia, the driving force behind the modern Left would be better understood--in my opinion--as having flown from the fantasies promoted by the French Jacobins in the previous century.

The inevitable conflict in any State allowing popular suffrage is between Liberty & Equality, as positive values. The Jacobins, in a form of self-hypnotic madness, believed that they were somehow kindred notions.

I fear that most of the dancing around the effect of changing demographics in changing values, in looking at what are more often symptoms than causes of the drastic changes in social & political attitudes, flows from a similar confusion among educated Americans. Our educational institutions, after all, seldom challenge the Jacobin fantasy, even after more than two centuries of repeated demonstrations that the coupling of "Liberty & Equality," leads inevitably to confused direction.

Yet the Germans were the first to observe common law, the English second.
