Nothing Annoys A 'progressive' Like Refugees From

Can The Real Constitution Be Restored? Probably Not. Too Many Americans Depend On Government Money Under Programs The Constitution Doesn't Authorize, And Money Talks With An Eloquence Shakespeare Could Only Envy. Ignorant People Don't Understand The Federalist Papers, But They Understand Government Checks With Their Names On Them.

The Words Of Jesus, Including Those Jefferson And The Jesus Seminar Have Blue-pencilled, Have A Unique Permanence. They Don't Merely Survive As Aphoristic Wisdom; They Have An Authority In Our Hearts, Even When We Try To Deny Them. They Command. We Can Obey Or Rebel. That Is Why Jesus Is Still Not Only Loved But Hated - And Why Those Who Hate Him Feel They Have To Profess To Love Him.

All In All, The Framers Would Probably Agree That It's Better To Impeach Too Often Than Too Seldom. If Presidents Can't Be Virtuous, They Should At Least Be Nervous.

How Odd That Americans, And Not Just Their Presidents, Have Come To Think Of Their Constitution As Something Separable From The Government It's Supposed To Constitute. In Theory, It Should Be As Binding On Rulers As The Laws Of Physics Are On Engineers Who Design Bridges; In Practice, Its Axioms Have Become Mere Options. Of Course Engineers Don't Have To Take Oaths To Respect The Law Of Gravity; Reality Gives Them No Choice. Politics, As We See, Makes All Human Laws Optional For Politicians.

...[t]he Constitution Conferred Only A Few Specific Powers On The Federal Government, All Others Being Denied To It (as The Tenth Amendment Would Make Plain). Unfortunately, Only A Tiny Fraction Of The U.s. Population Today - Subtle Logicians Like You - Can Grasp Such Nuances. Too Bad. The Constitution Wasn't Meant To Be A Brain-twister.
