“Does the Constitution matter? If it doesn’t, then your Freedom doesn’t matter.”

Mr. Sowell shows how to identify an example of the general failure of leftist thinking.

“Does it still matter?”

What a thought. This is just another reason (if another reason is needed) to ignore the MSM. Even supposing the Constitution is WHOLLY flawed...that it was not written to serve all America and has not been effective in the process, WHO could replace it and with WHAT??? The statement ‘Does it still matter?’ is asinine and was made by asinine, malicious and ill-informed people. I am sick of this!!!

“Our Constitution was not written in the sands to be washed away by each wave of new judges blown in by each successive political wind.” Hugo Black

Such a great, brief article with a point.

Why isn’t this man President?

Picking a nit...

The Continental Congress voted to declare our independence on July 2nd. The specific wording of the Declaration to be sent to the King was voted on and approved two days later.

Do we celebrate the deed or the parchment?

Something to ponder...

Wrong question is being asked.
It is not does it matter?
It is who benefits?

Big Bump

“But most people have enough common sense to know that a constitution does not exist to micro-manage particular “events” or express opinions about the passing scene.

A constitution exists to create a framework for government — and the Constitution of the United States tries to keep the government inside that framework.”

Back to the top. I wish this short essay would go viral. Who can dispute a word of it?

Thanks for posting it.
