The release of Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" (HarperCollins, 2009) has brought out not only the Palin bashers, but also, of course,has increased chatter about whether she will be the Republican presidential nominee in 2012.
What's missing so far in the "professional" chatter - which ranges from the snide and petty to the more substantive about her future - is whether she or any other potential candidate has grasped what conservative newspaper editor Seth Lipsky describes so astutely as America's "constitutional moment."
Thanks in great part to the new, alternative and social media,people are talking and writing about the Constitution-certainly more than I've seen in my lifetime.
Barry Goldwater,the first movement conservative to receive the Republican nomination for president, spoke of the Constitution frequently. It was a prime basis for his candidacy in our relatively nascent movement. He helped the movement coalesce into a political force.
Ronald Reagan managed to unite the three main elements of the conservative movement - economic, social and national defense conservatives - into a governing force. He, of course, for years before his successful run for president, trumpeted the Constitution and our founding principles as the basis of limited government.
George W. Bush and the Republican-led Congresses of Tom DeLay and J. Dennis Hastert neglected the Constitution, and set back the conservative movement because many of its leaders had become uncritical, sycophantic appendages of the Republican Party. Arguably, America wouldn't have elected President Obama and the Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid Congress had Republicans been better constitutionalists, which means the party of limited government.
Americans are concluding more and more that many of the current problems we face are caused by unrestrained and corrupt government. It is becoming apparent to millions of voters the solution lies in electing officials who understand,respect and abide by the Constitution

Amen!
Hell she is left of JFK. What in the heck is going on around here? For her to be a right wing extremeist you have to be a Castro Communist. Maybe a Washington DC blockade should be the order of the day. I think the Democrats have been infiltrated by the old KGB and the Pubbies are like the old Liberal Dems. Prepare for the worst. Survival and a good safe haven. Red Dawn is not far away. This mess is coming down.
I was astonished at how perceptive and accurate the article is - until I saw the author: Richard A. Viguerie, perceptive as always.
Living and evergreen. Outstanding read.
This article is exactly right, in my opinion. Much education is needed to get more Americans (even Conservatives and Freepers, sadly) to understand the Constitution. 7/8ths of Fed/Gov is illegal. If we really need those things (Medicare, Social Security, a standing Army) we should ammend the Constitution.

BINGO!!! NAILED IT!!! Superb commentary!!
I've been saying all along that Constitutional awareness and adherence will be my litmus test for ALL candidates in 2010. I'll vote for the town freakin' drunk or a convicted criminal if he places the Constitution first and foremost. ANYONE is better than these corrupt losers we have in office now! (That means goodbye and good riddance, Niki Tsongas!)
Restore our Constitutional government, with limits and fairness and guarantees for our rights and we'll see things MUCH improved in America!
Hell she is left of JFK.
***Baloney. Besides, it won’t be JFK she’ll run against. B4SP2012
