Or the “Living Constitution “ !
The Republic cannot exist along side Socialists and Communiats. The loss of trust that your civil rights would be protected by fellow citizens is disturbing.

Frank Zappa said it best:

One of the things that was taken out of the curriculum was civics. Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. You were taught what was in the U.S. Constitution. And after all the student rebellions in the ‘60s, civics was banished from the student curriculum and was replaced by something called social studies. Here we live in a country that has a fabulous constitution and all these guarantees, a contract between the citizens and the government - nobody knows what’s in it. It’s one of the best kept secrets. And so, if you don’t know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them? And furthermore, if you don’t know what is in that document, how can you care if someone is shredding it?

In the end, a constitution remains a covenant not between citizens and their government but between each other as citizens. It demands a leap of faith; a commitment that despite our differences we will defend the rights of our neighbors.

Conservatives believe in our Constitutions... Liberal 'elites' are more than welcome to move to hellholes where the strong and wealthy push around and brutalize the powerless.. They can leave tomorrow. ( and yeah, I kind of proved Turley's point - but I'm against violence. If liberals don't want to live under our Constitution - really they should just leave.)
