The Doctrine of the Democrats

The strange phenomenon of our time -- one which will probably astound our descendants -- is the doctrine based on this triple hypothesis: the total inertness of mankind, the omnipotence of the law, and the infallibility of the legislator.

They like for us to call them "our leaders". They do so because they have distorted the relationship that we are supposed to have with them -- according to the Constitution.

Their purpose, according to that contract (Constitution) is to manage the government.

Their purpose is not to lead us by directing our actions from their snobbish setting in the Halls of Congress. If they were to lead us, they… Continue

It is also to govern the government which was created by that Constitution. They were not given the freedom of extravagance (the right of royalty) when they were elected.

They have,… Continue

When the Constitutional Convention completed their work in drafting a Constitution for the United States of America, they realized that it wasn't perfect. There were tradeoffs, which were necessary to obtain agreement to the whole. One of those tradeoffs resulted in a war that pitted brother against brother, but it was a necessary part of the design of the United States of America. It was not perfect, but it… Continue

Abortion - Abortion is a moral issue. It is not a federal matter, but is, or was, in the purview of state and/or local government.

Federal crimes were limited to those enumerated in the Constitution, and, those that were passed in accordance with Article I, Section 8, clause 17, of the Constitution. In Roe v.

In War -- in battlefield combat, one of the most important strategies, especially if the enemy has superior numbers, is 'divide and conquer'. Very briefly, it can be explained that if you have a force of 3,000 and the enemy has a force of 4,000, you will probably be defeated in combat.

It is easy to come to that conclusion, since we all know how much work we have been investing in the project, program, or web site that we have taken to pursue. Since we have made that… Continue
