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 |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
