100 Years After Woodrow Wilson, Mark Levin Pens A Brilliant Response
Forbes ^ | 9/08/2013 | Peter Ferrara

One hundred years ago, Woodrow Wilson was leading a counterrevolution against the Constitution. Unfortunately, he was doing it from the White House, as President of the United States. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Wilson was one of the early leaders of the so-called Progressive Movement, which was an open conspiracy against the Constitution from the start. Former President of Princeton University, he had the haughty attitude of superiority that marks so-called “Progressives” to this day. He was so sure he was so much smarter than the Founding Fathers, who laid the careful foundations of the most successful country in the history of the world. He displayed the contempt for the average American Progressives exhibit to this day as well, successfully running for reelection in 1916 on the Slogan “He kept us out of war,” before he led America into World War I the next year.

Wilson’s handiwork as President bedevils the nation to this day. That includes the federal income tax, and the Federal Reserve Board. Posterity is finally beginning to recognize the rotten seeds Wilson planted that have grown to ensnarl America in vines that now threaten to bring the whole nation down.

But now comes the most effective response to Wilson, and the whole Progressive Movement, since Ronald Reagan, in the new book from former Reagan Justice Dept. official, Landmark Legal Foundation President, and nationally syndicated talk radio host Mark Levin, The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic.

The Levin Amendments solve one-third of the problem.

Unfortunately, offices must be filled by human beings with human frailties. But I think Levin does better than that.

If the states had a veto over legislation, executive orders, regulations and Supreme Court decisions, it would solve many, if not most, of the problems.

Why would MA senators take action that p!sses off the legislature, a small group of men and women, who, unlike the dumb masses, will pay close attention to every vote?

I would love to have Massachusetts senators take action that outrages the legislature. Massachusetts legislators are by and large even dumber than your average Masshole.
