Short thread but cuts directly to the bone. Looking at what it took to get rid of slavery, I can’t fathom what it will take to get rid of liberal progressive socialism.
It's all written in plain English. You don't have to be a lawyer or a scholar to understand it. 100%
The government is SUPPOSED to protect us from foreign invaders...instead they’re doing the opposite.
It’s all upside down.
Remember, the Constitution was written to protect us from government.
No but a law was passed and 7% of my income has gone to social security so I want my money back.
Exactly.
But what generations are being taught in the schools (and that matters)and what generations are being taught by the media, and what some generations of some cultures have lived, this is where we are today.
Yes!
nor was the constitution instituted in order to coddle the sensitive feelings of thin skinned whiney groups of people like liberals- Yet sadly the Supreme Court is turning our constitution into a delicate sensibilities protecting document
Great post. I hope you send it to papers and commentators. I send the below letter on July 4.
American Dream
On July 4 we recognize the Declaration of Independence which defines the American Dream as inalienable natural rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution establishes a government to secure those rights by promoting the general welfare, and the blessings of liberty.
Whatever he Constitution further defines is subservient to natural human rights independent of and superior to any government construction. Most importantly they are intangible property sourced in personal opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only by application of these inherent rights can one truly hold material things.
The American Dream never meant government largess ensuring home values, college funds, retirement accounts, savings, executive severance packages, affordable healthcare, homeownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits.
Politicians become patricians offer enchanting elements of material security such as described above, while obscuring subservience to rules vastly increasing their power. Legislation routinely negates our Bill of Rights confiscating freedoms for apparitions of material prosperity.
Administrative laws and regulations are the soft underbelly of our Constitution. Under English common law, which serves as the basis for our Constitution, a person is innocent and not subject to the penalties of the law until proved guilty. Under administrative law like Roman civil law a person is subject to its penalties and restrictions until they discover a way to legally extricate themselves. Citizens routinely make Faustian bargains which exchange the essence of their humanity for illusions of material comfort.
The History and Danger of Administrative Law

Bravo, but lets not exclude the DoI...
“The U.S. government was not instituted to take care of you”
Well of course not. It was instituted to take care of Syrian refugees. Of Mexican illegal aliens. Of Somali refugees. Of Iraqi refugees.
Of basically anyone and everyone who doesn’t have the slightest connection to historic America and it’s descendants.
Any truth to the rumor that Obama wants to establish a new federal holiday called “DEpendence Day”?
It should be posted on the door of every school room in the US.
“”It was not instituted to provide income for you in your old age.””
True before the 1937 FICA law was passed....
Did you write this and may I share it with my students?
