It is curious, claiming the Constitution is a flawed document when you fail to abide by any of it. As you say, the Constitution did not fail us, we as Americans have failed it. It is good indeed to know there are still those who will fight for it.

I suppose I should also address the subtopic: the Constitution and cynicism.

I think it is a divinely inspired document that is better than anything that has come before it or after it. But as the founders said: it is only suited for a moral people. It's only suited for an educated populace, including and especially educated in civics. It's only suited for people who follow the rules and let words mean what they mean and not what you twist them to mean. In short, the Constitution didn't fail, the people did.

We are in a lawless post-Constitution Oligarchy. It's best to get your mind right about that, pain and heartbreak and probably jail time await you otherwise. Just ask "Enrique" Tarrio. He was an FBI informant and he's still going to jail. Assuming they don't Oswald him, like Lee Harvey.

Power matters, and only power. The stakes are who can take power and use the State to advance their agenda. So far, it has been the Left, Democrats and rich f**knuts who actually run things without bothering about elections. If the Right is going to reverse the trend...well...they aren't. The Right writes books. The Left occupies cities and gets their foot soldiers bail and charges dropped. And then give book deals to the real sellouts that pay 100 times what the books make in sales. Or 10,000 times.

Not a cheerful view, I suppose. But everything dies, and there's no going back to the way things were. The way forward will be dominated by one side or the other. And the Right is still trying to pick out their running shoes, while the Left bolted before the starting gun even went off.

But thank you for the post man. I appreciate hearing from you.
