Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.


I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.


It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.


The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

Bush has lost it.

I know my co-blogger, Will, will agree with me: El Presidente Bush is no conservative. He is in fact a socialist hell-bent on using government for "compassionate consersative" means. El Presidente's compassionate conservatism can best be described as: Using tax money confiscated from hard-working Americans to pay for lazy asses suckling on the teat of FEMA, unbelieveable expansion of Medicare drug plans, wholesale dumping of money into the sinkhole that is government schools, complete unenforcement of our sovereign borders from invaders to our south and north, and even curtailment of everyone's First Amendment rights with campaign finance reform.

Bush is no conservative. Bush is no libertarian. He's not even a Reagan Democrat. As Andrew Sullivan says, he's a "Christian socialist." I couldn't agree more.

Thanks to El Presidente's unwillingness to enforce our border Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano (a Democrat!!) has ordered Arizona National Guard to deploy on the AZ-Mexico border. Well done, Gov., well done. Will this be the wake-up call to El Presidente Bush? I'm not banking on it.
