... the atomization of liberty's principal institution, the family, in the name of individualism. Funny how it was collectivists who pushed that.

Sure. For something or someone well understood and stable, substitute something counterfeit and manipulable. Who is better able to stand up to the serpents? Not individuals, standing alone and without the support of their kin groups.

You are right, kindred groups were once the building blocks of society, which corporatizing interests of the left and right have sought to pulverize, to leverage their own power.

Tacitus tells us that when the German hero Arminius sought to transform his advisory and leadership-based chiefdom into an absolute monarchy after his victory over the Romans, it was a cousin who responded to his direct command by killing him -- thus saving the people from the savior. This the kinsman did in full view of the court, and not one finger was raised against him as he left the hall afterward. He defended his rights, and everyone else's, and even admirers of Arminius recognized the fact.

Besides Cornell, this investigation was also conducted at Yale, Syracuse, Vassar and Oberlin

University officials agree to rip up Constitution in undercover video

"Project Veritas president James O’Keefe, known for his undercover video operations against ACORN and the National Public Radio, said the videos showed that the willingness to cut up the Constitution was “not an isolated incident.”

Conservatives have long accused academics of shredding the Constitution, figuratively speaking, but a Project Veritas sting operation recently caught them doing it literally.

Undercover video released last week showed administrators at Yale, Cornell, Syracuse, Vassar and Oberlin agreeing to rip up copies of the Constitution handed out off campus after an investigator posing as a student described the document as “triggering” and “oppressive.”.....................

..................................."Because in the end, you have got to laugh out loud at these videos as you listen to this chick moan and groan over the Constitution," she said in a Friday commentary. "It the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard, and these officials swallow it hook, line and sinker."

Mr. O'Keefe, who makes a cameo dressed up as a copy of the Constitution, said he was also surprised that the operation worked.

"When this idea came up in our newsroom about campus administrators shredding the Constitution because it's a trigger against students, we didn't think people would actually fall for it," he told Campus Reform. "We underestimated just how stupid and politically correct these people are"
