Over that last 200 or so years laws have been passed as our population has grown and technology has advanced. Step by step these laws were debated and passed by elected legislatures and signed by elected presidents and approved by federal judges...FOR THE PEOPLE. I supposed you would undo more than 200 years of legislation? Reinstate slavery? Take away women’s right to vote? Or will you pick and choose? (Well aren’t you special...) You cannot undo more than 200 years of living and existing as a country. We are not perfect, but we are America and we are better than the rest of the world.(People a still moving here by the millions.) Still we are always trying to be better. Paul would undo 200 years of our history - that is why he is wrong.
So because the 'New Deal' (repackaged socialism) was passed by 'elected legislatures' we should keep it? All those great government programs which have broken the back of our economy? How about the Progressive acts of the late 19th/early 20th? Making the market 'fair' instead of free?
As I've said today's 'conservatism' follows the view of the Framers in no fashion. Face it, you are advocating nothing but a 'living, breathing' Constitution. Taking up the banner of liberals.
Reinstate slavery? Take away women’s right to vote? Or will you pick and choose? (Well aren’t you special...)
How special, the red herring of slavery and women's suffrage. Because if I don't support the 98% of unconstitutional government surrounding me I must by default support putting people back into chains...although it would do to get rid of the 17th Amendment and put the power back in the hands of the separate and sovereign states.
Still we are always trying to be better.
So that's the moniker of today's progressive movement is it? Trying to do better? Just my opinion but you may want to work on a better catchphrase...
Paul would undo 200 years of our history
Again another misnomer. He would work to undo 200 years of unconstitutional government. The government is not history, the government is not the nation. The government is the government. And it's time to put it back in its place
