Good read

I think Dave Dougherty and I give a pretty good answer in our new book, “A Patriot’s History of the Modern World to 1945”: the answer is American Exceptionalism, which consists of Christian religion, common lae, private property with titles and deeds, and a free market. These are all contained in the Constitution, and in 1789 only one other country, Britain, had these elements-—but not written in a code or Constitution. But Britain has all but lost common law, mostly lost the Christian religion, and is losing its free market.

The Constitution is about limits. It limits government and the government is where the left finds its natural home. People without morals or ethics hate limits.

In our hearts, we’re control freaks. Just ask the DEA.

The Framing generation considered education of our young in the principles of republicanism to be of utmost importance.

A major criticism of the Constitution was the absence of a Bill of Rights. Aside from its obvious protections, Richard Henry Lee wrote of a BOR as sort of a text for continuing education in the foundations of our society.

The reason some societies held on to their God given rights like jealous lovers was because they were reminded of them often in schools, newspapers and public proclamations. In Great Britain, Magna Charta was read twice a year in public places, not that it would lose its validity without such confirmations, but to fix the contents of it in the minds of the people.

If neglected, we were sure to descend to the pitiful condition of man in mainland Europe, where they accepted their very existence to be at the whim of despots.

A republic cannot be maintained by a people ignorant of the traditions and ideas essential to their political happiness.

We are very close to accepting the slavish condition endured by most men throughout history.

The Constitution is all about limiting the power and the size of government. Those in government are power junkies and hate anything that might limit their power.

“Where Does The Hatred of Constitutionalism Come From?”

A reading of the Constitution of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA at this link should make clear their goals and methods and answer this question.

It is a good read and so are some of the comments that follow.

But, I have to agree with one of the comments. They correctly point out that the Constitution as such has indeed failed us or maybe more correctly ...we have failed the Constitution.

In reading the, “5,000 Year Leap,” one item stuck profoundly with me. The founders at the time of the writing and debate questioned if, We the People, were moral enough to have liberty.

A Constitution, as we see today, cannot function if the people are not moral enough to maintain their liberty. As we march into this very dark time in our country's history we must recognize we will not retain our liberty until we restore morality to the people.

It comes from the Progressive movement that thought it was antiquated and obstructed their “new and improved Scientific” ideas of governing.
The more I learn about Woodrow Wilson, the more I despise the man.

I haven't read it yet, and I promise I will ... after I comment.

In The Garden, Satan tempted Eve with a crucial tactic, still used today ...

"Yea, HATH God said .. ?" (emphasis mine)

It was common in my hippy days to "question authority" and there doesn't appear to be a reason to change that attitude, but Satan still uses it as a tactic to justify his hustle.

The Constitution declares all the basic rules for a decent and proper operation of government, and it is sufficient for men or morality and conscience to legislate and operate without guilt nor regret.

The enemy continues the same tactic of foisting on the unlearned, "Yea, HATH the Costitution said .. "

So the hatred of or for The Constitution is based in the hatred for the decency, morality and maturity of a people that is Bible based.

hatred for the Constitution is hatred for the Bible which is hatred for God which is Satanic.

Now, I'll go read the article.

The hatred of constitutionalism comes from hearts darkened with that age old lawlessness that emanates from hearts not controlled by the Spirit of God.

[sergeantdave]

The Founders warned us that freedom required vigilance. Conservatives allowed leftists to take over schools and pack the classrooms with communists. Leftists infiltrated county boards and gave union leaches untenable contracts while raising property taxes through the roof. Conservatives refused to get involved and elect constitutional sheriffs into their counties who believed in the 2nd amendment.

Conservatives were busy remodeling kitchens, barbecuing burgers and chasing the dollar and forgot to secure liberty for themselves and their children. We’re in this mess because of overbearing self-interest and sloth.

Where Does The Hatred Of Constitutionalism Come From?

With few exceptions, institutions of “higher education”.

[Diogenesis]

“There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of
Pharaoh — get first all the people’s money, then their lands, and then make them and
their children servants forever. It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings. I
know it. But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government. It sometimes
relieves them from aristocratic domination. They had rather have one tyrant than 500. It
gives more the appearance of equality among citizens, and that they like. I am
apprehensive — therefore — perhaps too apprehensive — that the government of these
States may in future times end in a monarchy [not called a monarchy but an executive
with monarchial powers]. But this catastrophe, I think, may long be delayed, if in our
proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction and tumult, by making
our posts of honor places of profit. If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a
number and not a single person, the number will in time be set aside, it will only nourish
the fetus of a king (as the honorable gentleman from Virginia very aptly expressed it),
and a king will the sooner be set over us.”

-- Benjamin Franklin

I believe that the American Constitution was divinely conceived. Hence, the hatred from evil for it. The left has embraced satan and in doing so unwittingly is seeing “reason” for evil as doing “good”. We can see this not only in disrespect of the constitution but in disrespect for life, marriage, Christianity, etc. It is the ultimate battle between God and evil that we are witnessing unfold right now.

This hatred of constitutionalism comes from the uninformed or “low-information” voters who equate the Constitution with hard work. “We the People” are not looking for hard work but life on easy street in so many instances. The lawmakers have surely found easy street at the expense of “We the UNINFORMED People”.

Vampires hate garlic. Werewolves silver...

Bureaucrats hate anything that limits their power.

At this point, the only purpose the Constitution serves is to act as a fig leaf for the statist usurpation of power.
