In our system of justice, based upon the First Principles set forth in our founding (the DoI), government cannot FORCE responsibility, it can only penalize irresponsibility.
But the 'progressives' see it as exactly the opposite; force responsibility by unconstitutional burdens on the people, and excuse irresponsibility, particularly if the guilty party is a minority.
In the last 100 or so years, the 'progressives' have had much success in excising our First Principles from our national ethos. In his July 4th speech, Woodrow Wilson stated that to consider the DoI, we must first set aside the 'preamble'. This must be reversed, and quickly, or Kruschev's promise of communist victory by the acquiescence of our own people will come to pass. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
