Constitution for the Newstates of America (Liberal Rexford Tugwell's Proposed Constitution)

I should have posted this yesterday on Constitution Day but this demonstrates great insight into the liberal's version of what they think the Constitution should look like. It was written by New Dealer braintruster (Rexford Tugwell (appointed to be governor of Puerto Rico) in his book, "The Emerging Constition."

Forget all the phony claptrap from the Liberals about how they love the Constitution. The Tugwell version of the Constitution is what they would really want. Truly frightening to read. Note the establishment of the office of Electoral Overseer. Seems like Tugwell loved that word: Overseer.

Tugwell can urinate up a rope and kiss my hindmost parts. Any move to make that screed the law of the land means a shooting war.

Heck, that's mild compared to this:
A Blueprint for a Monarchy in America

It strikes me as not insignificant that many, if not most, liberal advocates of the tax-and-spend-just-keep-fuling-the-nanny-government-with-other-people's-money mindset usually set themselves up on .org websites, just like those who started the tax-exempt foundations to shelter and direct their money to pet projects while promoting the income tax in the last century. Hypocrites, phonies and worse.

Thanks for posting this Tugwell constitution. I'm glad you've reintroduced it. Probably many have never been aware of it.

The President ... shall have one term of nine years, unless rejected by 60 percent of the electorate after three years;
"Except for the 'dear leader' who shall remain in office 'til death do us part."

I stopped reading after the first article...this is $h!+

I believe there was also a socialist “People’s Constitution” floating around in the 1970s but I haven’t been able to track it down online.

[Tigerized]

I LOVE it! Now all we need is for them to self-expatriate to some People’s Utopia and adopt this piece of crap.

In about two seconds after adoption, a national “emergency” would be declared, and all the supposed safeguards would be null and void.

It would be fun to watch. Hell, I’ll even buy the popcorn!

[SeeSharp]

Note the langage "shall not be abridged except in declared emergency." This tracks with the Declaration of the Rights of Man from the French Revolution. One has to wonder just who is going to abridge your rights other than the government? So who then is going to declare emergencies?

Tugwell was interesting bird (apart having a name that sounds like a like a gay porn star). He came in with the Hover administration and was in charge of Hoover's economic recovery efforts. FDR kept him on and made him the head of the NRA (no, not that NRA). Tugwell wrote in his memoirs that they tried from the start to recreate the economic central planning that had exited during World War I. They went to the warehouses and got all the old forms, crossed out "War", wrote "Recovery" above it, and they were back in business. They were basically just taking advantage of the crisis to implement their ideology and he was unapologetic about it.

Reads like some weird SciFi Fascist Utopia.

Truly frightening. The old America according to Pres Reagan........America Is The Last Stand On Earth

[PJ-Comix]

Please do not upset the Electoral Overseer.

[Publius]

I remember this golden oldie from 1965. Where did you dig it up? It's been sitting around the file cabinets of the great tax-exempt foundations gathering dust for eons.

Tugwell went to his reward in 1979, but bad ideas live on, thanks to the miracle of the Internet.

[Noumenon]

Oh, my. They seem to have left that part out. /sarc

Astonishing. It’s a recipe for the management of human cattle.

[Publius]

It’s tough for someone to urinate up a rope if he’s been dead for 32 years.

[PJ-Comix]

Tugwell published it in his book in 1974. Keep this in mind whenever the liberals pretend to venerate the Constitution. They don’t. They would much prefer the Rexford Tugwell version with its Overseers.

[Publius]

Poor Rex. He never figured it out in all of his 88 years.

Age doesn't necessarily bring wisdom.

“SECTION 12. Police powers of the Newstates shall extend to all matters not reserved to the Newstates of America; but preempted powers shall not be impaired.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is just gggrrreeeeaaatttt. I wonder if there is an actual meaning hidden in that tossed word salad. My best guess is that it would mean that the police powers would be unlimited in any way. No matter, anyone capable of putting forth that sentence as a serious proposal should be put away somewhere for his own protection. He clearly does NOT have a functioning brain.
