I’m taking a couple days off, so I thought I would leave some recommended reading for my FRiends (both old and new).
The famous 3rd way. It must be stopped. Resistance is the key.
One of the things that really ticks me off is our politicians that try and determine what our Founders really, REALLY meant. Just read the Constitution as what it says. There is no way that they can determine what they really meant. I think they did a very good job with the Constitution. I am also interested in the Honduran Constitution. Did you know that they can NEVER change their Constitution. I hope they did a good job on it.
Some of this reminds me of the central thesis of P. J. O’Rourke’s “Parliament of Whores”.
This has been building for decades, not months. This piece was actually written at the end of the Clinton administration, not this week. But the issues it raises are as valid today as they were back then, and even more critical.
And I’m less worried about Obama as the dictator (I don’t think he has the support of the people, nor the military) than I am about what is being set up for the leaders to come.
Actually, the words of the Constitution mean what they say. I truly believe that as well. But I do think that context is important. Therefore, it is important to consult The Federalist Papers as well as The Anti-Federalist Papers to understand the thinking of the founders and the mood of the nation at the time the Constitution was written.

Bump for home reading.
The Marxists have nearly total control over our government K-12 schools and colleges and universities! Once they took hold of the schools those graduates then took over the culture.
In fact, from their very beginnings in the mid 1800s to finally being enacted nationwide in the early 1900s, government schools teach children to be comfortable with taking other people's money to pay for something their parents want for free! Do this for 13 or more years and the citizen is now fully ready to take money from his neighbor for retirement, disability, medicines, ICU care, food, clothing, shelter, university scholarships...etc.
It is my belief that FDR was elected and his New Deal approved because 1 to 3 generations of citizens had been programed to comfortable with socialism merely by attending government schools which are fundamentally middle class education welfare. It's been a downhill slide since.
But...If conservatives want to reverse this they maybe there is still time. They must dedicate themselves to getting children into building up a system of conservative, tuition-free, and private schools. ( Hopefully, it is too late.)
I'm referring to this bit:
In the Jan./Feb., 2001 issue, Mac, John, and Dave discuss how the invention of new legal rights and collective rights, the results of the Civil Rights Act, the Environmental Protection Act, and the American Disabilities Act are being used to empower government and special interest groups and to abrogate our natural rights.Thank you for posting this.In later issues they discuss how Presidents unconstitutionally bypass the legislative process with Executive Orders, which include among them provisions to suspend the Constitution for indefinite periods; how bureaucrats are putting themselves beyond our reach with juryless trials; how the government now uses businesses including banks, airlines, and even manufacturers of paper to get around the Fifth Amendment and conduct warrantless searches; how the government will eventually control the Internet, how the conversion of the military from a “citizen army” to a professional army is a danger to us all; and how all the time we were fighting communism, fascism was put into place in this country.
Bookmark for careful read.
Bump for later reading...
