Standing Strong on the Constitution

America, in both its ideal and in its actuality, stands on two feet. Under those feet is a foundation of Biblical wisdom and a knowledge of history that taught the founders what worked and what didn’t. With enormous care, those great men designed a nation with a stable underpinning of a constitutional rule of law and the right of each individual to have a say in how that rule would be implemented –- in other words, the right to vote. We’ve all been busy hooplaing over the impeaching of a president, hyperventilating over the coronavirus, and watching the Democratic frontrunners stumble all over each other that we forget what’s really being attacked here.

All this fuss-and-bother isn’t just about winning the 2020 elections. That will be one step, for sure, but that isn’t the end game. The left isn’t at all interested in continuing the grand experiment that is America. The left is about ending it entirely, and they are involved up to their skinny necks and wobbling dentures in pulling those two stable feet of the commonwealth right out from under us. They are trying to eviscerate the Constitution by attacking every one the of Bill of Rights, and they are undermining the individual vote -- local, state, and national.

The Constitution endured leftist attacks during most of the 20th century starting with Woodrow Wilson and still it held strong. Toward the end of last century we started hearing silly statements like, “The Constitution is a living document,” which, if true, would have rendered it useless -- of what good is a malleable contract? Recently, and especially in Virginia, both the 1st and 2nd Amendments are being pounded; I’m grateful the Virginians are standing up to the onslaught.

The Right needs to understand its goal and objective: MAGA BY RESTORING AMERICA'S FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

That is incorrect.

There have been increasing attacks on the Constitution during the entire last century.

The "living Constituion" attacks started at least as early as the Wilson presidency.

The Constitutional attacks ramped up during the FDR administration and WWII.

FDR and Truman packed the Supreme Court with Progressive judges. There have been numerous rulings that have degraded the Constitution in serious ways from the Roosevelt revolution in the courts.

Attacks on the Second Amendment, a complete revolution in tort law, the eviseration of the Commerce clause to grant federal power over all commerce in the United States.

The list goes on, and on, and on.

Exactly. A good many SCOTUS decisions have been unconstitutional themselves. Where do we go to undo those?
