Tightening The Noose On Liberty

[PaintMyHouse]

"Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of nineteen years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right. It may be said, that the succeeding generation exercising, in fact, the power of repeal, this leaves them as free as if the constitution or law had been expressly limited to nineteen years only. In the first place, this objection admits the right, in proposing an equivalent. But the power of repeal is not an equivalent. It might be, indeed, if every form of government were so perfectly contrived, that the will of the majority could always be obtained, fairly and without impediment. But this is true of no form. The people cannot assemble themselves; their representation is unequal and vicious. Various checks are opposed to every legislative proposition. Factions get possession of the public councils, bribery corrupts them, personal interests lead them astray from the general interests of their constituents; and other impediments arise, so as to prove to every practical man, that a law of limited duration is much more manageable than one which needs a repeal." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. ME 7:459, Papers 15:396

'Let us provide in our constitution for its revision at stated periods. What these periods should be nature herself indicates. By the European tables of mortality, of the adults living at any one moment of time, a majority will be dead in about nineteen years. At the end of that period, then, a new majority is come into place; or, in other words, a new generation. Each generation is as independent as the one preceding, as that was of all which had gone before. It has then, like them, a right to choose for itself the form of government it believes most promotive of its own happiness; consequently, to accommodate to the circumstances in which it finds itself that received from its predecessors; and it is for the peace and good of mankind that a solemn opportunity of doing this every nineteen or twenty years should be provided by the constitution, so that it may be handed on with periodical repairs from generation to generation to the end of time, if anything human can so long endure." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:42

'Forty years [after a] Constitution... was formed,... two-thirds of the adults then living are... dead. Have, then, the remaining third, even if they had the wish, the right to hold in obedience to their will and to laws heretofore made by them, the other two-thirds who with themselves compose the present mass of adults? If they have not, who has? The dead? But the dead have no rights. They are nothing, and nothing can not own something. Where there is no substance, there can be no accident [i.e., attribute]." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. (*) ME 15:42

'The idea that institutions established for the use of the nation cannot be touched nor modified even to make them answer their end because of rights gratuitously supposed in those employed to manage them in trust for the public, may perhaps be a salutary provision against the abuses of a monarch but is most absurd against the nation itself. Yet our lawyers and priests generally inculcate this doctrine and suppose that preceding generations held the earth more freely than we do, had a right to impose laws on us unalterable by ourselves, and that we in like manner can make laws and impose burdens on future generations which they will have no right to alter; in fine, that the earth belongs to the dead and not the living." --Thomas Jefferson to William Plumer, 1816. ME 15:46

'A generation may bind itself as long as its majority continues in life; when that has disappeared, another majority is in place, holds all the rights and powers their predecessors once held and may change their laws and institutions to suit themselves. Nothing then is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:4

'The generations of men may be considered as bodies or corporations. Each generation has the usufruct of the earth during the period of its continuance. When it ceases to exist, the usufruct passes on to the succeeding generation free and unencumbered and so on successively from one generation to another forever. We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." --Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813. ME 13:270

More than significant, you didn't say "Without FDR we wouldn't have much of an American nation."

In destroying the Constitution, he ended the America of our Founders.

The America of the Founders was meant to last about as long as it did. After that a new generation was supposed to create a new nation, like they did. That's not something they teach in Korea I guess...

So your latest excuse for the destruction of America is that the Constitution had a "sell by" date????

BTW....if you'd like to compare each of our educations...let me know.
Nah....don't bother.....folks can read each of our posts.

You have no education. If you did you'd know what the Founders thought of the Constitution, including the fact that it wasn't written in stone, not worthy of said thing.

"...Constitution, including the fact that it wasn't written in stone,..."

Now, if you had a familiarity with the Constitution, you'd know about Article 5 and the amendment process.

This is an indictment of Franklin Roosevelt.....he passed national insurance without authority of Article 1, section 8, and inserted the federal government into the private housing market, ...causing the mortgage meltdown...also without authority of Article 1, section 8.

He ignored the amendment process which was required.
He was lawless.

And dunces cheer this lawlessness....
....raise your paw.




Jeeezzz...I'm ripping you up pretty good today, huh?

Your side cheers Putin, I can't help you.

Now, why would you use such a transparent lie, when I proved earlier that you sociialists/Liberals/Progressives were of the same ilk a the communists/Nazis/fascists?

Oh...right...because I'm ripping you up pretty good today.....as usual.

You are an anarchist.

ROFL

You don't grasp the meaning of words. I am far from an anarchist.

I promote liberty, they are nothing alike.

The fuck you do. You attack liberty, at ever turn. You are a totalitarian. You openly advocate for the denial of the right to worship as one pleases, to speak, or to defend ones life and property.

 

[Uncensored2008]

The only authorship on the bill is Frank J. Senselessbrainer of Wisconsin and in the Senate in part to Russ Feingold, no credit is given Biden.

They revived the Biden bill, which you would know if you had bothered to read the supplied link.

The attempt by the democrats to claim innocence is beyond the pale.

8. J. Christian Adams, in his best seller, "Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department," wrote the following:
" I testified under oath that pervasive and open hostility exists within the Justice Department towards race-neutral enforcement of voting rights laws….the Justice Department’s unwillingness to enforce voting laws equally and in a racially fair way.


Patriots of all races gave their lives to enshrine racial equality in this country, via the 14th and 15th Amendments and then during the Civil Rights movement. The beneficiaries of these sacrifices should not be limited, either. The Department should undergo a searching examination as to why they are unwilling to enforce voting laws in a racially fair fashion and change course.


Inside and outside the DOJ, some will snicker at the notion that the provisions of Section 5 should be used to protect whites and Asians when they are in the minority in a covered jurisdiction. Please snicker so the rest of America can hear you. It’s time you engage the debate, or else you are about to lose it badly without ever having spoken up."

Nope, not even close. But I have no problems passing laws that make the American people, who are as dumb as dog shit, behave in a reasonable manner.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Nope. Just obey the law when doing so.

Obey laws to kill Jews? To report parents who speak ill of the rulers? Those kinds of laws, Comrade?

You are a totalitarian thug, fully opposed to liberty.

So, you support the "liberty" of Americans, (whom you hate) to obey without question?

If the law is unfair, or immoral, you can go against it, but be prepared to get your ass kicked. That is the real world.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Classical liberalism got it wrong.

Got what wrong, Comrade? The whole civil rights thing? Is that why you Communist wage war to end civil rights?

Nice meltdown. You're in today's contest.
