41. SIANews, whatever that is,
Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 10:20 PM by Heywoodj
doesn't seem to be a good source. The next document is a diatribe on why the Constitution is a bad idea, has no virtue, and will lead to corruption. The site seems to be Libertarian, carried to the point of stupidity and absurdity. I mean, look at what the site's author is publishing, of which I've included below.

I also don't trust news sources that ask questions like this: "Did you know that they did this in 1787?????" No, I didn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same for when it MAKES POINTS IN ALL CAPITALS FOR EMPHASIS. YOU HAVE MORE AUTHORITY WHEN YOU SHOUT, I GUESS???????


BUT, unless one understands the original intentions of the Founding Scoundrels who met in secret conclave in 1787 to conspire against the freedoms of the American people
Yeah, that enumeration of one's rights and freedoms, that spelling out the roles of government, that's complete shit. They're all bastards who just wanted to take your freedom (to oppress, apparently).

I realize that the Constitution is considered as sacred as the Bible by those who know little of the origins of either and I realize that nothing is ever going to be done to correct all the widely agreed-upon stupidities of our age which will in short order bring civilization once again to its knees.
The Constitution will help bring civilization to its knees. Yeah. You do that, buddy.

He condemned democracy but gave us just that.
"Democracy bad, y'all. Let's just have survival of the fittest."

On the other hand Franklin moved "that the Executive should receive no Salary Stipend or Emolument for the Devotion of his Time to the public Service but that its Expences (sic)should be paid." This was the same scam that Washington pulled as commander in chief which shocked the Congress so that it took upwards of a year to come up with the cash. His wine bill alone might have gone a long way towards supplying Arnold's fighting troops with shoes.
"Hur hur! Washington's a drunk! Public servants should give it up for free! We won't pay them so they can pay the rent or a mortgage and we'll expect the work to be done anyway, but it's still survival of the fittest, baby!"




But seriously, I think this one's the killer:
The idea of another Constitution holds no promise of any rebirth of freedom. It only offers a new set of chains to bind down the people. Only by going back to the Saxon (and earlier) basic ten family political unit (the Tun) and working up from there by appointing - NOT ELECTING - representations to sit in council can a limited government ever be constructed.
Let's appoint our government and live together as family tribes! Not just feudal, but tribal. It's like the writer's slipped back about two thousand years.

This is what a republican FORM of government is all about. The democratic form is suicidal.
Democracy is death!




Yeah, someone who publishes, repeats, or endorses that - mixing in with "news", that's a source I trust for serious news and clear interpretation. Now, where did I put that sarcasm tag...
