This is to me another example of the fatal flaw in a constitutional form of government, there is no provision for removing evil from our socity.

When we have reached the time when everything is a lie or a truth twisted beyond reconition then, but we have to suffer this drivel if you leave you home or reach out to the outside world via TV, internet etc.

I was taught as a child that you could always trust a Cop and if you were in trouble you could go to one. Now Lawyers tell you when dealing with a cop either lie or say nothing.

For those of you that forget, in a Christian socity lying is a sin for it is one of Gods commandments. Or at least it used to be.

There is. It is called sedition.

From Wikipedia: Sedition

In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.

From Merriam Webster Dictionary

Sedition : incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority

I have often wondered why we don't prosecute the obvious examples of sedition from people like Soros, Piven, Ayers, etc.

Interesting...a child of the ‘50’s, I was taught not to trust cops OR lawyers. In fact, Dear ol’ Dad used a policeman to scare me sometimes when I was naughty. And the dummy played along. Made him feel important to be scaring a 7 year-old, I guess.

I’m still wary of them but I fear lawyers more. Too many years in the business world as well as a couple in law school.

Providing we use it, our Constitutional system is self-correcting. Knowledge is the key and the Constitutional provision starts with Freedom of Speech.

We have let ourselves down by letting journalism and education be overrun by the philosophical tyranny of the progressives and we are reaping what they have sown.

However, like with some of the article's commenters, until Beck talked about them I had never heard of Piven and her husband nor their work.

But now I have and so have millions of others. The curse of interesting times be upon us.
