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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
