I had a conversation similar to this last weekend. The person didn't care what the intent of the Constitution was. They said the only form of government that works in today's complicated world is socialism. They then had the gall to tell me that I was "uneducated". I believe that they could have used a history lesson.

This is an excellent piece. But hardcore socialists see the Founders as men who couldn't possibly understand the modern world. They believe that we have grown beyond them. I was also told that the Founders believed in survival of the fittest and were not charitable. So speaks the entitlement class.

Thank you for posting this.

I agree with you. That is very much how they think, but they have been ‘trained’ to believe that.

Being independent is not easy. It means you do not depend on the social structure and yet the social structure depends on the ones who choose to be independent. Being independent requires thought, effort, and skill. Maybe even a little luck.

I would say to your socialist acquaintance...if every person to on their own independent responsibility we would not be in this mess.
