'We ought not to entangle ourselves in really stoopid entanglements.' (Paraphrasing the Founding Fathers.)

Instead of paraphrasing, all Conservatives should take the time to read George Washington's Farewell Address. The admonitions are as timely today, as when it was written in 1796. Moreover, Washington's carefully presented reasoning behind his conclusions, is more apt than just about anything you will read today.

Farewell Address.

[Eastbound]

"One method of assault [by treaties, executive orders, etc., pro-active courts, congressional mis-chief] may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, alterations which will impair the energy of the system; and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown."

(Bracketed comment mine)

Thanks for the link, Ohioan. It appears every admonition Washington offered was ignored -- and even to this day. We are so accustomed to being the re-actors to the whims of government we forgot that we the people are supposed to be the pro-actors.

Is it time to say that most of our Constitution has been overthrown indirectly?
