2008-05-12 03:08:00 "Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government."--James MadisonOf course, that is exactly what has happened in this country, we have allowed a certain political ideology, composed of members of both the left and the right, to infect it with particular brand of Statism that is little more than a hybrid of Fascism and Socialism.So, what happened to the Constitutional Republic, why, as Statist claim, didn't the Constitution remain viable and continue to work if it were such a sublime document as touted by those, like myself, as the ultimate political form for the advancement of society and the individuals who make it up?What Statist fail, utterly fail to realize or admit, is that this country and its government has fallen to the Statist. Nationalization and Centralization began in earnest during the reign of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln and h...
