Agreed..

Now, the name and exact phrase escapes me at the moment, so please take this one in spirit..

“This constitution is for a moral and just people, It will work for no other”..

Conservatives and Liberals take this phrase to mean that the fed must regulate morality, that it must protect the people from themselves.

The truth is quite the opposite.

True spiritual morality cannot be changed in a person.

Politically motivated morality is subjective. It is subjective to whoever holds power at that particular time. The framers recognized this, and that is why morality is not in the constitution. Civil rights are.

Once this premise is accepted, then and only then can change begin.

Where does it begin? The easier question to ask is where does it NOT begin.

It does NOT begin in the halls of congress, or at the presidents desk.

It DOES begin in your own heart first, then in your own home. It then progresses to your extended family, then to your friend and aquantances.

When, not if but when, you run into the person or peoples that place all their trust in politics, that is when you ask them to apply the constitution test.

You do not need to argue, or debate, or go point for point with them. Just ask them to apply the constitution test.

This alone will plant the first seeds of doubt.
