Entry: Right From the Beginning Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/right_from_the_beginning#22812 Post contents: Richard, if by "building on the past" you mean accepting the changes to our Constitution that occurred in the wake of the Civil War, then I totally disagree with you. The 14th Amendment, as an example, is a horribly formulated law which has allowed liberal interpreters to fundamentally alter the character of this country. It is one of the main causes of the disfigured and distorted America we see today. Moreover, its legal standing is, to say the least, suspect, since it was never Constitutionally ratified. There are other examples one could give, but the point is that most of us wish for a return, not to 1860 per se, but to the authentic U.S. Constitution that existed in 1860, while you seem to be saying that we should just concede all that lost ground to our enemies and start again from there. Well, the fact is, there is no starting again from there. Paleos have no future whatsoever in this country under the laws as they currently exist. For all intents and purposes, paleo-ism is illegal. In order to bring about the kind of country and society we want, the repeal of several existing Constitutional amendments (at the least) is demanded. Sent at: 2008 10 13
