Nobody Suggests–Put the Constitution in Stone
Nobody’s Opinion
I must admit, I have an awful habit of picking up old issues of Time Magazine at my local library, because they sell them for 10c. I have five big Tupperware containers filled with back issues, which I have decided NOT to put on my house insurance, because it would be no loss to humanity. In fact, I’d burn them myself, but I’d probably get arrested for contributing to global warming.
I was reading one Time article today, that was just…absurd. Sort of like the lady I heard on the History Channel today who said, something to the order (can’t remember direct quote) that Skull and Bones have always put men into powerful positions. (Kerry, Bushes) But, to think that these men want to take over the world…is simply a whacko conspiracy theory. Utter nonsense she said.
Nobody Says: Just the fact that all these men are sworn to place each other and all their friends in high positions, making it hard for the “people” to ever get true representatives of their own, thereby stacking the decks against any kind of real representation for “we the people,” is in itself a huge conspiracy of elites. Of course they want to take over the world.
Something tells me that lady (sorry, didn’t catch her name) didn’t even see the absurdity of her opinion, or anything wrong with the rich running the world, just like this author of an article in Time from July 4, 2011. Time Magazine asked the question in big bold letters on the cover: “Does It Still Matter?” referring of course to the Constitution. 
Nobody Says: Do you really want to go there Mr. Richard Stengel? (author) Well, I’m your Huckleberry!
Stengel Says: Drones over Libya constitute a violation of Article I, Section 8, which gives Congress the power to declare war. Well, since George Washington didn’t even dream that man could fly, much less use a global positioning satellite to aim a missile, it’s hard to say what he would think.
Nobody Says: You’re kidding—no it’s not hard. No doubt George would have loved all those nifty tools, but he would have never in a million years sent a war weapon such as flying drones with bombs over to kill in another country that was no threat to the United States. And especially without asking Congress. If he was one thing, George was meticulous.
If Obama was doing it to help France get oil…then he should have just said so. Instead, he helped the Muslim brotherhood take over Libya, which looks like he did it also to help some Saudi King.
Stengal Says: that he wondered what Thomas Jefferson, a man who owned slaves and is believed to have fathered children with at least one the them would have thought about a half white, half black American President born in Hawaii. (a state which did not exist)..Again, hard to say.
Nobody Says: Mr. Stengal, what in the world does this question have to do with the Constitution? Where does it say that a half white, half black man cannot be President? The requirement is that he be born an American. Hawaii would have been fine with Jefferson, the more land for the US the merrier to Thomas. IF Obama had been born in Hawaii, not Kenya, he would have thought nothing of it. He would have been against a foreigner taking office.
Stengel Says: Yes the framers had their reasons for that, (President being born here) but those reasons have long since vanished.
Nobody Says: Vanished? We put a Muslim sympathizer, (who ran as a Christian) with a Muslim name, who is using all the forces at his command to fundamentally “change” America..and funding Muslim brotherhood “change” in the Middle East. He is using all his power to destroy our country, and rewrite our history. The founders were afraid exactly of that very thing.
Stengel Says: The founders also gave us the idea that a black person was three fifths of a human being, that women were not allowed to vote and that South Dakota should have the same number of Senators as a Californian, which is kind of crazy.
Nobody Says: First: it was the southern democrats who fought hard to keep slavery. The first order of events was to become an independent nation. Back then, it was the land owners who voted, and women got the vote AFTER the black man. As the country grew, so did the voting rights. Both good things.
BUT…to latch that last bit about the electoral college on to the other two, (so clever by the way) is your way of saying that the electoral college is just as outdated as slavery and the right for women to vote.
WRONG. The electoral college made us a Republic. It gives all states equal representation…get rid of that, and the United States will have no states. California will pick every president.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I’ll call the electoral college affirmative action for the little guy whose voice would not be heard in a ‘democracy.’ All liberals will go “Oh..that’s right! Affirmative action is good, so the electoral college must be good!”
Nobody can play around with words too.
Stengal Says: The framers weren’t afraid of a little messiness. Which is another reason we shouldn’t be so delicate about changing the Constitution or interpretation. It was written in a spirit of change and revolution and turbulence. It was not written in stone.
Nobody Says: Ah…Richard…you’ve been talking to Bill Clinton again. You know…that guy can confuse even the best idiots. You think the founders WANTED to fight the British? According to all their own words, they didn’t exactly like have British militia stationed in every house.
Richard Stengal makes it seem that the founders are just like the protesters on Wall Street..we are all learning more about the Marxist handbook of start a revolution and then TAKE OVER ! See, pitch your tents! That’s what the founders did!
Make no doubt, The Constitution may not be written in stone, but there are still millions in this country who hold it dear in their hearts.
George Soros funds Time Magazine. He wants to get rid of the Constitution, and he has said so.
Maybe it’s time we do set our Constitution in stone, get our best stonemansons to carve a big huge stone…bigger than MLK’s. Make sure it sets on the entrance to the Capitol, and every time any politician forgets it, we should stand in front of it..and point.
And then, set another stone down on the White House Lawn. On that one I would put the Ten Comandments, and the Declaration of Independence, and maybe a statue representing the American Citizen..facing the front door. At the bottom of the statue, in big enough letters for the President to see… a quote from John Adams…—
“A Government of laws, and not of men.”


Good post. I study something more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to learn content material from other writers and observe slightly something from their store. I want to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I provide you with a hyperlink in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.

I’m with you amfortas…heros…lost to the wind. Morality had to be burnt to a crip in order for the “we want to do anything we like” politicians and their friends to continue their rape of the country that trusted them.
“Today is it all violence without honour and sex without eroticism. And politics without “The People”. Is it worse, I ask myself”
You hit it right on the nose…Yes, that dark cloud has turned into a tornado, and all good hearts are running to “hide in the cupboards” before the horrible storm hits us all. And speaking of storms, I hear Obama is bringing troops to Australia? I’m sure the good Aussie men can protect themselves so, what does he want? Free bases?
A photo op with your Lady? Or is he getting primed for his WWIII?
I’ll apologize in advance for his presence, but rememeber, just like the government in our mother country, the lowely citizen wonders where are the hero’s are.
They are…invisible if they are there at all.
Thanks amfortas…and you know, Nobody Thinks, when the kid leaves the nest, it’s very hard on the parents.(Mother England) — (LOL!)

PS. I love America and Americans and you especially. My dark views are caused by a cloud infront of the Sun.

As a mere durn furriner, (and an Englishman to boot) I would love to see the Constitution and the Declaration set in stone, made by true stone masons and placed in front of the White House.
I would also like to see the American President on his many travels overseas – and his next one which is scheduled to my own shores in Australia – give copies to every head of State, Prime Minister, President and commoner he meets.
They are Models of modern thinking.
Not ‘Post-modern.
Even though I as an Englishman have much to grieve over, what with our favourite son turning all hippy and making off with the family silver, the horse and wagon and sundry supplies that my forebears worked and sacrificed hard for – I do nonetheless think it a travesty of justice and freedom that he has decided to trash the lot for an iPod and a big Mac.
The Founding Fathers redeemed a little of the honour they besmirched when they wrote those Sterling documents. Not enough though it seems and the criminal disregard for a priori rights has gone on to besmirching the very attempt at redemption that they made. I fear (you will not like this) it is part of the American Character. No-one expects perfection or flawlessness from anyone but America seems to be destroying what Goodness was there.
I was watching a film the other week and got to thinking. It was a ‘western’, the very defining American genre. I grew up on them, as most older western folk did whatever western country they come from. The good cowboy / Sheriff / ‘drifter’ was always outnumbered and outgunned by lots of ‘baddies’. Lots. Lots and lots. These baddies were more often than not…..Americans too. We cheered for the goody in the white hat (even when it was grotty) and admired his fortitude, moral standing and his courage. We tended to overlook the clear fact that he was up against vast numbers of immoral, criminal, AMERICANS who cared not one whit for the Law or common heritage. Often they were rapacious politicians and rapacious businessmen, in cahoots, and each with gangs of almost indistinguishabe clods and .inebriates. Most could not even be named in the credits. Gunman #1: fuckwit #2; drunken thicko #5.
The average ‘man in the street’ who could take sides usually didn’t. Again, these were Americans hiding in the cupboards, behind their shop counters or in their carpentry huts waiting for either the goody to win for them or for him to get killed and let them get back to their terrorised little lives serving moonshine and displaying the bodies in the street..
By the Lord Harry, we need some Burt Lancasters and John Waynes again. We need Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers. Our ‘post-modern’ ‘heroes’ no longer have the moral standing. The Bruce Willises and the Steven Segals are as cruel and vicious as the ‘baddies’ they happily murder. And the shopkeepers and coffin makers are still in the majority.
Joyanna, I am getting old !! I miss the Heroic. I haven’t seen any for such a long time. And when I do see an old film, I am struck by just how badly the American people portray themselves. Today is it all violence without honour and sex without eroticism. And politics without ‘The People’. Is it worse, I ask myself.
