Founders’ Papers were always meant to gore the enemy. Originally it was the monarchists who wanted dictatorial powers for the royal government. Then it was the radicals who wanted no national government and the fools who wanted an American monarchy. Now it is the grasping Marxists who want to wipe away the states and the Constitution and impose big-brother government into every aspect of our lives.
The casual distain many Americans have for our unique and hard-earned liberties does amazes me. And the willingness they have to throw those liberties away for bread and circuses.
Milton Freeman spoke about the amazing and historically unique run of freedom Americans enjoyed for a century and a half or so (from the Revolution through the Coolidge Administrations). That run is over and will probably never be repeated unless we colonize other planets.
