Scared?

On 10/26/06 I posted my paper showing that the Notorious 4 Isms were endeavoring to destroy our Constitutional Republic. Publicity of that well documented paper could destroy the Democratic Party. Not to any great surprise, politicians and the media have not picked up on it. Hence, this paper entitled "Scared?". My first paper, "Guilt of the 4 Isms" can be accessed below. But first, please read the present paper.

One would think that the Founding Documents penned by our well educated Founding Fathers would be the respected law of our land. Yet my Congress Critters (both state and federal), the one honest TV network (Fox News), and the one journalist that I thought shied away from nothing (Matt Drudge) all seem afraid to touch something. What? Why?

In my paper, "Guilt of the 4 Isms", the Founding Documents were used to expose a dangerous truth. Reasonable attempt was made to stay within their context. Logical progression led to the following logical conclusion: “The 4 Notorious Isms will destroy our Constitutional Republic. Therefore, all who support the Democratic Party are traitors.” In defense, that paper, “Guilt of the 4 Isms”, will destroy the Democratic Party.

Conclusions: Since no one at the state or national level will touch it, either they do not respect our Founding Documents, or they are afraid of something. Neither deductive nor inductive reasoning arrive at conclusions other than one: Our “humble” public servants are afraid of something.

A hint might be obtained from the following statement: “If all the laws on the federal books were forced to pass Constitutional muster today, 99 percent of those laws would be off the books tomorrow.”

Does the foregoing statement apply here for this “Halloween Surprise Aught 6”?

(I do hope replies to this post will include sensible documentation to support statements made.)

I know several people who are not PC (Politically Correct) and who remain very quiet to protect their job status. I respect their silence, especially since I have paid my dues, so to speak.

As was known by the founders and the philosophers who's writings formed their thinking, freedom and self government as a political system is a very difficult arrangement to maintain over time. The same human nature that makes free enterprise such a marvelous economic system, also makes self government difficult. Seeking ones immediate self-interest in purchasing and bartering works well for the benefit of all society. However, seeking ones immediate self-interest in making laws takes much more foresight.

To do it right, one should remember the example of two people dividing an apple, one should cut and the other should get the first choice of the results. If one person had both, the cutting and the first choice, it is more often than not to be unfair in that person's favor.

I think it was Eric Hoffer who said, (paraphrase) that those who can't handle freedom seek power. History verifies that. The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, captured the imagination of those who didn't do well with freedom. Under the guise of championing the masses, the elite captured the reins of power. Unbelievable poverty, pain, and suffering by the masses followed. The elite, not having to compete, did well.

As a result, the elite who considered themselves intellectually and intrinsically superior, liked the system. They could hide behind the platitudes of moral superiority while exploiting the less gifted. However, they knew their pose was a lie and that freedom of speech would soon expose and overturn them. Therefore, there was no freedom of speech nor freedom of political choice. Like a stern parent, the leaders told the masses what to do and when questioned responded, "Because I said so!" and backed it up with terror, prison, and death.

The kings and emperors that the Communists replaced were the same. The masses just saw one charade replaced by another.

The 4 isms are just variations of the above theme.
