Blog on!
I'm late, I'm late
For a very important post
No time to say “Hello” - good-bye
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!
As I type
these words, I’m listening to the album ‘THE ART OF TEA’ by Michael Franks,
which naturally made me think about the U.S. Constitution and how our nation
has totally derailed solely because We The Sheeple were
not diligent in holding our elected scumbags to their oath of office:
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution
of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will
bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely,
without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and
faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so
help me Beelzebub in my endeavors to deceive and destroy America in your name.
~
Congressional Oath Of Office
Actually,
that IS the Oath Of Office our elected scumbags take. I stand corrected.
I can
barely keep my eyes open, and my mental exhaustion will undoubtedly contribute
to the dreamscape, semi-stream of consciousness style of this blog bit.
However, if you think about it just a little bit, you will make a couple o’
connections between the references.
I sat
down in this chair with the idea of composing an original review for a book
about the Constitution that I would recommend to EVERY American. But the
fact of the matter is that it’s getting late as I type these words in Phoenix,
Airheadzona, and I am too tired (from learning myriad details of a new [old]
job) to think straight enough to compose something new, creative and worth your
time to read.
So, like
all of our presidents and congressmen – Dumb-O-Crat AND Repugnantcan
alike – I am going to “fake it”. What do I mean? How the hell would I know?
Didn’t I just tell you how mentally wiped out I am?
No. Wait.
Don’t go away – I has an answer:
What I
mean is, I’m going to re-post an old review I wrote for a different book
related to the U.S. Constitution, and then I’m going to tell you, “Now, go read ‘THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT
GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION’ by Kevin R. C. Gutzman,
J.D., Ph.D. (2007)” Are you with me so far?

4.0 out

STEPHEN T. McCARTHY
As of
this date, on the Amazon.lib website there are 3,039 reviews posted for the
book ‘THE DA VINCI CODE’, 900 reviews posted for the compact disc 'The Marshall
Mathers Lp' by EMINEM, 48 reviews for ‘LAW & ORDER - The First Season DVD
set’, and 13 postings on ‘QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY’, a DVD that doesn't
even exist yet. But ‘WE HOLD
THESE TRUTHS’, the late Congressman Lawrence McDonald's
exceptional analysis of the U.S. Constitution has been entirely ignored until
now. I can't say that this surprises me, nor can I say how this nauseates me...
because there are no words to describe the depth of my disgust! This comparison
paints a perfect portrait of America
2005! If anybody should EVER happen to read this: I think we're all alone
in the world, you and I.
If you've
actually read the U.S. Constitution and come away thinking it was an enigma
because American legislation doesn't seem to jibe with what you read, you can
be sure that there's nothing wrong with your powers of comprehension.
It's just that our entire way of life is now un-Constitutional; meanwhile the
Hounds of Socialism run freely through our house, howling.
"The American constitutional system was not perfect," says McDonald, "but it was the most nearly perfect political
arrangement ever devised by men." Notice how he speaks in the past
tense.
"The United States is a nation governed by
those who believe that more government is the solution to mankind's problems.
In seeking 'solutions' they often
ignore the law of the land - the United States Constitution, a document they
swore to uphold... What is the proposed solution? More government, additional
tax revenue, and fewer liberties. . . Un-Constitutional United States Supreme
Court rulings have enthusiastically approved each violation of the law of our
land. The Court has used the equal protection and due process clauses of the
Fourteenth Amendment to usurp power, justify new and unlawful Federal programs,
and to impose on the people... destructive mandates, programs and decisions of
the Court's own making."
McDonald
clearly illustrates how the Bill Of Rights (intended to be imposed strictly
upon the Federal government) has been inverted by Judicial activists, and is
now (illegally) used as a battering ram and club against the states.
This
small but information-packed book covers "Religion And The First
Amendment", "Manipulating The Economy", "Subsidizing The
World", "Social Security", "Restoring The
Constitution" and everything in-between. It also includes the full texts
of THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
Lawrence
McDonald, a strict Constitutionalist and conservative Democrat from Georgia, served in the House Of
Representatives from 1975 until he was murdered in 1983 along with 268 other
passengers aboard Korean Airlines Flight 007, by a Russian air-to-air missile
over the Sea
Of Japan.
To anyone
who wants to understand our Constitution and how it was designed to safeguard
our personal liberties, I highly recommend this reprint of McDonald's 1976
book, which he over-optimistically dedicated "To
the coming generation of Americans, with the prayer that they will restore the
Constitutional principles we have abandoned, protect the freedoms we have
neglected, and preserve the Republic we have almost lost."
Who am I
talking to?
HELLO!...ELLo...ELlo...Ello...ello...
IS THERE
ANYBODY OUT THERE?...AIR...AIr...Air...air...

I'M HERE

By "FREDERIC BASTIAT"
I haven't actually read this book, but I just wanted to respond to your
petition, is there anybody out there...
I'm here.
I love Larry McDonald. However I'm not so sure it was a missile that was his doom... I'm not so convinced Flight 007 was not forced landed and he was taken captive... evidence seems to suggest that was the case.
I agree entirely with your perspective on the Constitution and America... but if it's any consolation to you, I'm in my twenties... and I care.

Now, go
read ‘THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO THE
CONSTITUTION’ by Kevin R. C. Gutzman, J.D., Ph.D. (2007)
[I have
only one seriously negative remark to make about an (astonishingly egregious,
hard-to-believe) “oversight” in Kevin Gutzman’s otherwise excellent book.
Someone, post a comment in my comment section and ask me, “What did Gutzman overlook?” and I will tell ya ‘bout
that six hundred and sixty-six leaf four-leaf clover he overlooked.]
All
these Rolls Royce hip
Roll down the Sunset Strip
Just like pharaohs down the Nile
Sometimes I just forget to smile
Dog bites, lost kites
He says “Thanks” but he never says “Please”
We both shave and we jump waves
He never has much skin on his knees
You know he’s got the habit now
For Peter Rabbit now
And Disney crocodiles
Sometimes I just forget to smile
