Consider the word "constitution"

[CrusaderFrank]

Pea brain Frank would rather spread National Enquirer 'history' that LBJ had JFK killed. When a plot makes it all the way to a House Committee investigation it becomes leftist paranoia...

Like that 80 year and counting corporate plot to upend the New Deal?

CF, there is ConLaw and there is conlaw, the former is a course in law school & an upper division Poli Sci course , the latter is the propaganda you've learned from Limbaugh and the RW media elites.
Your posts on conlaw are silly and deserve ridicule, your post on our Constitution provide proof what an ignorant fool you truly are.

Wry, you don't HAVE to respond just because I addressed the non-statements that pass for "your posts"

If you have nothing substantive to add, and clearly now in 2 consecutive posts you've brought nothing but Progressive froth and spittle, go find something else to do with your time.

I used to think CrusaderFrank was brainwashed by the RW Media. Alas, you disabused me of this belief - a pea brain needs only a light rinse.

Frank, are really THAT naive? The genesis of what you spew in your OP comes from well funded revisionist propaganda from people like the Cato Institute's Richard A. Epstein.

Are you going to try to tell us that industrialists, and corporations just sit by idle and don't try to influence legislation, regulations and public opinion? Just LOOK at the Wall Street bankers and industrialists who funded the American Liberty League. LOOK at who funds the Cato Institute, Heritage Foundation, National Rifle Association, American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, the US Chamber of Commerce etc.

 

[Bern80]

No, it was not an unconstitutional rewrite. And when you freakazoids dismantle part of what FDR accomplished, such as the Glass-Steagle act, the nation suffers, just as we are now.

The Constitution will continue to be interpreted in ways that cede more powers to the citizens, and less to the oligarchs. As much as you find this disturbing, we liberals find it to the interest of our nation. Just as we had to fight you concerning voting rights for all Americans, for Social Security, for government agencies such as the CDC, we will have to finish the fight for universal health care, for a distributed grid, that enables all citizens to be both producers and consumers. Yes, and income redistribution to even out the injustices of the present inequities in income.

And you will cry, mewl, puke, and squeal, and eventually be remembered with as much affection as Martin, Barton, and Fish.

Accept that is exactly the opposite of what is happening. How is taxing people for SS, medicare and now for not buying health insurance giving them more power. Money is power the more of it the government takes from you the less power you have. The more government dictates what you must do the less power you have.

con·sti·tu·tion
   /ˌkɒnstɪˈtuʃən, -ˈtyu-/ Show Spelled[kon-sti-too-shuhn, -tyoo-
–noun
1. the way in which a thing is composed or made up; makeup; composition: the chemical constitution of the cleanser. Constitution | Define Constitution at Dictionary.com

The Founders did not pick the word out of the air as they were drafting the document. They had deliberately called the document what it was: a constitution, a description of the nature, composition form and function of the new government. The very word itself has a meaning that has been lost and obfuscated.

Obama and Progressives demonstrate a profound, fundamental and intentional ignorance of the very concept of a constitution when he/they states,

"And to the extent as radical I think as people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted. The Warren Court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you. It says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf."

Our Founder knew EXACTLY what they were doing! They did not draft a living, breathing easily malleable document. They drafted a document that was very precise in what the new federal government was supposed to do -- very little. It wasn't accidentally called a "constitution", they were describing the very nature of the limited democratic republic they formed using the best ideals of Rome as their base.

that is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

and that means that NOBODY TODAY has ANY RIGHT to DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES what kind of government they should have!

period.


our founding fathers were TYRANNICAL in their belief that ONLY THEY had a right to decide for ALL CITIZENS for ALL TIME TO COME FOREVER and FOREVER what
rights
rules
laws and government they MUST BE BOUND BY!

now all you traitorous treasonous liberals had better just shut up before we deport you to 3rd world nations where you will be rounded up and executed!


I HAVE SPOKEN!

my favorite conservative quote;

newt gingrich "we must change the laws of theland to reflect our christian religious beliefs and then SEE TO IT that they can NEVER be changed again!"

Obviously a key member of the Wry/Bfgrn brainless trust

what?!!!!!!!!

are you saying that people today have a RIGHT to form the government of their OWN preference?

are you actually saying that we do not have to mindlessly submit to the whims of our tyrannical founding fathers?

my grandfather use to speak fondly about the days when we had smaller government...;

men working in coal mines for no money at all and breathing in toxic fumes from which they died early deaths

corporations, underpaying their slave-workers, dumping toxic waste in our back yards to save money so they could give even BIGGER profits to the CEO/president/owner so he could buy yet another multimillion dollar mansion

people living in poverty and degradation

working 6 days a week, 12-16 hours per day for practically no money

families living in tar paper shacks

womens lives ruined if they had sex outside of marriage, got pregnant, or...worse...DIVORCED!

being able to call women SLUTS and WHORES if they had sex at all outside of marriage (though it was alwasy a mans right)

keeping those uppity n-g-rs down, the way the white christian god intended

and the fun we had when we found out someone was gay so 8 or 10 REAL MEN would gang up on him (with bats!) and teach him a lesson...
(a lesson generally lost once the miscreant died)



those were the days....

all gone now...thanks to those damned libruls!

Extreme idologues at both ends of the authoritarian spectrum are idiots.

When you try talking sense to them, they automatically assume you're an supporting the extmemist view on the other side.

Apparently, as our society falls apart, the most truly extreme view one can take is one of moderation.

That way, eventually, as most people side with one ideological extremism or the other, those partisan idiots assume that YOU are their enemy.

Except that's all fodder and nonsense. If things the "left" bring forth are always all that unconstitutional, I'd be looking inward if I were a Conservative. Because, as it stands, there's all talk, no action from those who actually feel this way. I think the Constitution strictists need to read and learn about how checks and balances works.

You keep pushing the fallacy that authoritarianism is a shared trait. It is an overwhelmingly conservative personality trait.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Authoritarianism personality based on a 50 year study…

Right-wing Authoritarianism (RWA) is a psychological personality variable or "ideological attitude".

It is defined as the convergence of three attitudinal clusters in an individual:

1) Authoritarian submission - a high degree of submission to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives. "It is good to have a strong authoritarian leader."

2) Authoritarian aggression - a general aggressiveness, directed against various persons, that is perceived to be sanctioned by established authorities. "It is acceptable to be cruel to those who do not follow the rules."

Conventionalism - a high degree of adherence to the social conventions that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities. "Traditional ways are best."

3) High scorers on the RWA scale (High RWAs) tend to have a rigid, often fundamentally religious, view of morality tending toward homophobic, racist and patriarchal beliefs. High RWA scorers tend to support authority figures, such as the government, taking action to censor certain social groups — often those they view as physically or morally threatening.

Right and left

The "right wing" in right-wing authoritarianism does not necessarily refer to someone's politics, but to psychological preferences and personality. It means that the person tends to follow the established conventions and authorities in society. In theory, the authorities could have either right-wing or left-wing political views.

Milton Rokeach's dogmatism scale was an early attempt to measure pure authoritarianism, whether left or right. The scale was carefully designed to measure "closed mindedness" without regard to ideology. Nevertheless, researchers found that it correlated with political conservatism. In a similar line of research, Philip Tetlock found that right wing beliefs are associated with less integrative complexity than left wing beliefs. People with moderate liberal attitudes had the highest integrative complexity in their cognitions.

There have been a number of other attempts to identify "left-wing authoritarians" in the United States and Canada. These would be people who submit to leftist authorities, are highly conventional to liberal viewpoints, and are aggressive to people who oppose left-wing ideology. These attempts have failed because measures of authoritarianism always correlate at least slightly with the right. There are certainly extremists across the political spectrum, but most psychologists now believe that authoritarianism is a predominantly right-wing phenomenon.

Although authoritarians in North America generally support conservative political parties, this finding must be considered in a historical and cultural context. For example, during the Cold War, authoritarians in the United States were usually anti-communist, whereas in the Soviet Union, authoritarians generally supported the Communist Party and were opposed to capitalism. Thus, authoritarians generally favor the established ways and oppose social and political change. Hence, even politics usually labeled as right or left-wing is not descriptive. While Communism in the Soviet Union is seen as leftist, it still inspired the same responses. This leads to questions over what makes various ideologies left or right, but that is another discussion.


Significant Correlations

1: Faulty reasoning - RWAs are more likely to:

Make many incorrect inferences from evidence.
Hold contradictory ideas that result from a cognitive attribute known as compartmentalized thinking.
Uncritically accept that many problems are ‘our most serious problem.’
Uncritically accept insufficient evidence that supports their beliefs.
Uncritically trust people who tell them what they want to hear.
Use many double standards in their thinking and judgments.

2: Hostility Toward Outgroups - RWAs are more likely to:

Weaken constitutional guarantees of liberty such as the Bill of Rights.
Severely punish ‘common’ criminals in a role-playing situation.
Admit they obtain personal pleasure from punishing such people.
Be prejudiced against racial, ethnic, nationalistic, and linguistic minorities.
Be hostile toward homosexuals.
Volunteer to help the government persecute almost anyone.
Be mean-spirited toward those who have made mistakes and suffered.

3: Profound Character Attributes - RWAs are more likely to:

Be dogmatic.
Be zealots.
Be hypocrites.
Be absolutists
Be bullies when they have power over others.
Help cause and inflame intergroup conflict.
Seek dominance over others by being competitive and destructive in situations requiring cooperation.

4: Blindness To One’s Own Failings And To The Failings Of Authority Figures Whom They Respect - RWAs are more likely to:

Believe they have no personal failings.
Avoid learning about their personal failings.
Be highly self-righteous.
Use religion to erase guilt over their acts and to maintain their self-righteousness.

The RWA construct was developed by Robert Altemeyer, drawing on Adorno's post-WWII research on the concept of an authoritarian personality - based on Freudian theory - which contained conservative, pro-fascist, prejudiced and ethnocentric beliefs. Taking an empirical approach based on statistical analysis and disregarding the theoretical construct, Altemeyer found that just three facets of this authoritarian personality were statistically significant and cross-correlated: conventionalism, authoritarian aggression and authoritarian submission. Conventionalism is the tendency to accept and obey social conventions and the rules of authority figures. Authoritarian aggression is characterised by an aggressive attitude towards individuals or groups disliked by authorities, and authoritarian submission is submission to authorities and authority figures.

They'll call economic and corporate authoritarian control over the people freedom and defy anyone to call it a conspiracy, too.

Thanks for telling me where I got the OP from, you're so helpful.

I thought it was because I just read "The Prince" and Niccolo mentioned the constitution (small c) of a government and that's when it clicked that what we call the Constitution of the United States was named that for a very specific purpose. No doubt the Founders, and certainly Franklin, read "The Prince"

They could have, but rejected the notion of saying, the laws, or framework or principles, instead they opted to describe the nature, formation, constituent parts, and operations of the Romanesque Republic they were forming, it's very constitution.

That's why I started the OP.

it was LIBRULS who fought (and died) to help fight for equal rights for blacks

no doubt some of them were REPUBLICAN anmd DEMOCRAT

Anyone notice how powerless the right decided the government is supposed to be the moment the Republicans were out of power?

And yes, of course, they all now claim they always believed that. That's a key ingredient of the bullshit.

You want the government to have less and less power?

Fine. That will create a power vacuum. What will fill the power vacuum? The entity most capable of wielding power.

Who/what is that? The corporations, of course.
