Rush's perceptive comment about Van Susteren's seeming lack of awareness last night when she referred to this as a "fight over contraception," should catch the attention of all who have bought into the Obama power grab. Is Greta a victim of law school training which did not focus on the Constitution's underlying ideas? Or, is she simply buying into the "progressive" over reach of power?

As in the so-called "health care reform," or "health care reform," or whatever other semantic maneuver was used, the President's language always is designed to disguise his intended agenda.

Constitutional illiteracy, brought about by the decades-long "progressive" censorship of the Constitution's underlying principles from textbooks and public discourse, has enabled him to be bold and confident in the belief that he can subvert the Constitution without "the People" knowing it.

James Madison stated: "Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant—they have been cheated; asleep—they have been surprised; divided—the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson? ... the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government, they should watch over it ... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free."

“... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free.”

The problem is our youth have been instructed by Bill Ayers and his Ilk.

No, it’s not about contraception, but contraception and an attack on Catholics are what have woken some people up.

I belong to a pro-life group that is about half Catholic. Suddenly they are up in arms. What about NDAA? Isn’t that much more of a threat? People are still living in a world of identity politics, where you don’t really care until your ox is gored.

I now wear my “LEGALIZE THE CONSTITUTION” button everywhere. I actually get evil looks from some of the people in my neighborhood but they can’t say a word.
