Surprising people still read TIMES.....unfrakinreal. =.=

The same Time magazine that made Hitler, man of the year.

Repeal Amendment XVI and we will be half-way back to a Constitutional Republic, as designed by the Framers.

[Pharmboy]

Well done.

But, the question really is: Does TIME magazine matter anymore? I think we all know the answer, and Stengel (that effeminate twit) is projecting. (And being effeminate is fine...as long as you're a woman).

These stories are the softening up pre-invasion bombardmend. This is a full on plan,,, and the BIGGEST goal of a second Obama term. This is his main advisor. Farreed is is the author of the book he is carrying in that famous photo, “the Post American World”.

More than anything,, they want to be 100% freed from having to pretend to live by the US Constitution. This is their main goal.

The last nail in the coffin of the MSM. . don't rest in peace. .

The liberals have now made it clear they are the enemies of the Constitution. There will be no mercy and no reprieve.

Glenn Beck posits the question: “Can Man Rule Himself?”

If the left think that Man cannot rule himself, then how can they endorse Men ruling over other men?

This seems to be a paradox on the left.

If Man is not qualified to rule himself then isn’t man also equally unqualified to rule over others, be those men Kings, Dictators, or even Saints?

All the apparatus of government consists of men, but if the left is correct in their assertion that man cannot rule himself then should their goal be to minimize the sins of men ruling over other men?

Rejection of the U.S. Constitution is one step from advocating overthrow of the U.S. government. Are the editors of these publications trying to overthrow our government or do they wish to cedede and establish a new nation separate from the U.S. which I love and which is guided by the U.S. Constitution?

[Hoosier-Daddy]

The Constitution is a Compact between the People and the government. When one party breaches contract, as government is doing now, the aggrieved party will seek redress. When the offending party is the government, who may tell the aggrieved party they don't have standing, then all bets are off. This will not end well.

[Billthedrill]

There isn't any more perfect illustration of how different the conceptions of government have become between the two ideological poles. Shorn of the trappings Stengel's argument is simply "The Constitution protects my freedom to regulate you." The fundamental premise of any constitution is that it describes one set of rules for everyone to follow, open and transparent. Since the heady days of the 60's when liberalism took a hard left turn, that premise has been discarded in preference to a government that attempts to adjust social outcomes by invoking different sets of rules for different classes of people. Progressive taxation was the first of these attempts, Affirmative Action the most obvious. Naturally the strictures of a Constitution will be a hindrance to those whose purpose is to change rules until a carefully undefined "social justice" is attained.
