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.

Last Post

For the next few years, I expect to continue not having enough time for updating this blog with quality posts. My job and my wife are my life. In a few years I may re-start a blog/website, if I decide to enter the political arena as one seeking office. Who knows? If so... it'd probably more than a few years from now... Right now: too poor, too tired, too young looking.

Unless Rob wishes to continue using this blog as a springboard, or some viewers wish for more time to read through his archived posts, I will delete this great blog. If you wish for more time, please reply to this post within a week.

Many thanks to all of you for all of your witty comments and support.

Now can anyone finally answer this question: "What would James Madison do?"
