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.

Leftists are breeding themselves out of existence.

A fascinating article at USA Today discusses the reluctance of leftists--they're lovingly called 'progressives' in the artcle--to procreate and replace their numbers.

"For instance, do you distrust the army and other institutions and are you prone to demonstrate against them? Then, according to polling data assembled by demographers Ron Lesthaeghe and Johan Surkyn, you are less likely to be married and have kids or ever to get married and have kids. Do you find soft drugs, homosexuality and euthanasia acceptable? Do you seldom, if ever, attend church? Europeans who answer affirmatively to such questions are far more likely to live alone or be in childless, cohabiting unions than are those who answer negatively."

Is this really any suprise to anyone? Leftists are notorious family-haters, baby-murderers, and moral relativists. They don't value family, marriage, love, or--for that matter--making love. Rather, they'd prefer to rut like stoned hippies and take their RU-486 in the morning to forget it all. In a way I am thankful these souless ghouls don't have children. But I pray for the ones these leftists murder off in the name of "Hey, if it feels good, do it."
