I can only hope that our constitutional republic can withstand slipping into "complacency to apathy to dependence, and back to bondage."
I am not prophet but currently it appears to me that lunacy of the left is only waking up the ire of the Silent Majority (or those with any common sense intact.)

Laughing, still laughing at water cannons and VanGogh. Woke up to MORE snow this morning. I wonder if the Boss would let me borrow his polar bear to go shopping...

The scary thing is the amendment bringing on the income tax is basically a one-liner, but it gave birth to 80 thousand pages of tax code and a giant standing army to enforce all that gobble-de-goop. Not to mention sucking up nearly a trillion dollars annually for the nations people and businesses to comply to the behemoth.

Good point, BornSovereign. The Constitution was never meant to be used against itself like a national suicide pact.

Oh, the book title: "The Politically Incorrect Guide To Woke". Go, Thor, Go!

Nice. Is this your wesite?

DON'T LOOK HERE!!!!!!!!!!
The current generation of stupid could care less how to retore the Republic. Spoiler -- solution is a Convention of the states and the Amendment process.
If you are not stupid, have an attention span longer than a woke teen, can actually spend time reading without distraction and are not a spammer who takes five seconds to find an email to spam to, go here: https://www.TheSocietyProject.org It will test your patience and how much you are willing to do for restoration.

The income tax is flat out unconstitutional. The sooner we all know, the sooner we can starve the deepstate.

Yes! We certainly have our challenges. Those in the Constitution I like to call “graffiti” and, as you point out, they're found several places in the Document (and Amendments). Few may result from imprecise word choice or a consequence of word meaning shift. Others are glaring. But, in all cases, the meaning must be consistent with the document's purpose (stated in the Preamble) otherwise ignored as graffiti.

I was just in Vegas and caught the local news on this. Yep, next to a water delivery canal. You know…they’ve been discovering similar unlicensed, undocumented labs like this in California - mainly Chinese and working w Covid. Nobody in the government cares and Gavey’s CDPH told the authorities in Fresno after one was found there to quit talking about it. Hey. This is where we’re at now. Some factions absolutely LOVE what happened during Covid, apparently, and would like to see more of it. But, don’t worry. The government loves you, and wants to keep you safe.

Reverse science: Picking a question to suit a list of conclusions:

LGBTQ - good
Trump - bad
Christian - bad
Islam - victim
Black - victim
Hispanic - victim, unless conservative
Asian - Exception to victim rule. Ignore unless they also support all other victims
Guns - bad
ICE - bad
Law Enforcement - bad if admin is conservative, good if admin is progressive
Totalitarianism - Great, if government is progressive.

We could write a book!

Hmmmmm, somebody should come up with a meme expressing that, LOL! (Sorry, Thor, as true as your post is, the thought struck me as humorous and I couldn't help myself.)

Wasn't the US border a "sensitive place" violated by these ILLEGAL aliens in the first place? There are NO "sensitive places" for law enforcement not to do it's duty and its job.

Our forefathers studied the classics and logic. The present world studies memes and practices cognitive dissonance.

Regarding this, as an independent little peon I'm doing the only things I can do: I don't watch their programming, I don't attend their functions, and I don't buy any of their crap. Even when programs I do like tangent off into the sports politics garbage I switch stations or shut it off and find something else to do with what's left of my time here on earth.

Nice article, LibertyPen. Thanks for posting it in the Gulch.

I REALLY liked the water cannons!

Understood. I despise the phone for typing on that teeny keyboard and dictation screws up every time.

The words of Lord Tytler Woodhouselee appears eerily prophetic. The Scottish judge, writer, professor, and historian described the cyclical stages of democracy. He portrayed societies moving from bondage to spirituality to courage to liberty to abundance to complacency to apathy to dependence, and back to bondage.

A good fiction writer couldn't make this up! WTF!!! I know this is dangerous, but tax dollars supporting entities like the CDC that refuse to chase this down after it is discovered need to be diverted to an agency that actually does! How would we know if Nellis AFB isn't already contaminated and is unknowingly delivering bio-death all over the military?

Sorry for the typos. I did this in my phone just before I had to run a meeting, ha…

I certainly agree; their actions must have consequences!

Supposed to get even more nasty this weekend so I brought in extra wood from back in the snow to supplement the heating using the fireplaces throughout the weekend. Wife happy... niiice.

Its unfortunate but I think we are at a stage of corruption that this is now necessary. These "elites" in the semi-released Epstein files are far more sadistic and self-serving. They will never be prosecuted until we demand that they are. All of them, it doesn't matter who they are, actions have consequences.

"Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States..." I did not know about this, we are far from it.

I personally think that this is our biggest challenge, the unequal levy of taxes and benefits. Corruption, special interests and a welfare state are all the result,

I think everyone should pay the same flat percentage of income taxes or you get a proportional vote based on your income tax bracket. I don't know if you have noticed but the inmates are running the insane asylum. All of these government programs to subsidies the cost cause it to go through the roof for the non-moocher types, causing more and more to go on the tit.

Nicely written, but some problems are built into the Constitution such as the preamble clearly states "promote" the general welfare but Article 1 section 8 states "provide" the general welfare. Free America can go along with the "promote", but clearly the commies love the "provide".

The preamble: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Article 1 section 8: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States..."
