Progressives target the constitution (Time shreds it, CNN shrugs it off)
Time and CNN

Posted on 06/24/2011 8:49:11 AM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

This is how the progressives do it. Plant some seeds, then before you know it these kinds of ideas will be all over the media.

Time magazine cover features shredded U.S. Constitution, asks if it still matters

And

This Exists: Iceland Rewrites Their Constitution Using Suggestions Through Twitter

This second link has me more troubled than the first. The things that Fareed Zakaria are saying could practically be lifted right out of the pages of The Road to Serfdom.

I don't think it's possible to state just how much danger we are in. These progressives are out for blood.

————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.——————

You would think that. On the surface, it certainly does contradict.

I referenced the book ‘Road to Serfdom’ at post 1, but there’s another book you should read that Beck has recommended.

Philip Dru Administrator. It’s all there. These progressives believe themselves to be masterminds.

You can get the full text of it for free. All we have to do is read it.

-————————And I don’t think it’s even slightly nuts to call for violence in response to a move to scrap the US Constitution.-——————

That’s what the left wants us to do.

The media have made that very clear. Every time something violent happens, before the facts come in, the media blames the tea party.

If any tea partier or conservative got violent, that would be the justification for getting rid of the constitution.

Blessed are the peacemakers.

Haha, ok fair enough.

But I don’t see where you’d go. America is the most likely place where america would re-emerge.

"Uruguay is a representative democratic republic with a presidential system.[35] The members of government are elected for a five-year term by a universal suffrage system."

They have elected a socialist president in 2005, but that term should be completed by now.

The first overt attempt to attack the Constitution was the original charter of the ACLU. Reads pretty much the same as the 1963 paper from the Communist party.

First we hang every one at Time and then we hang every one at CNN. Then we move on to the progressive media.

You won’t find a friend of the ACLU with me.

However, if you would look further back, you would find more.

===================Justly revered as our great Constitution is, it could be stripped off and thrown aside like a garment, and the nation would still stand forth in the living vestment of flesh and sinew, warm with the heart-blood of one people, ready to recreate constitutions and laws. ... Woodrow Wilson============================

Let me put it to you this way. Glenn Beck seemingly said “Woodrow Wilson, I hate that guy” on a weekly basis on his Fox News TV show, and it started when he started reading Wilson in his own words.

There are a lot of us around here who view Obama as Wilson’s third term, and I do believe that Thomas Sowell also viewes Obama as a third Wilson term. Wilson was wildly, WILDLY radical.

“First we hang every one at Time and then we hang every one at CNN. Then we move on to the progressive media.”

That is a logical first step.

We really don't need the American version of Jacobins. Wanting to hang everyone who puts pen to ideas you don't like, isn't as conservative as you probably think it is.

Wanting to hang every one who wants to destroy this nation suits me just fine.

Pack that nice and tight in your pipe and smoke it!
