Odd that this piece should lead with a quotation from Charles A. Beard--that revisionist historian whose works were used in teaching a distorted view of America's history to young Americans for decades.

His reinterpretation of the Founders motives in establishing this bastion of liberty can be seen in those in leadership positions today who claim we have a "flawed" Constitution--one which must be "changed" to be in tune with the times.

Wahtever errors Beard committed, the quote rings true for today.
