Everything needs progress or it stagnates and dies. History should have taught you that.
Uh...NO, it doesn't! History should have taught you that if it ain't broke...DON'T FIX IT!
The ONLY reason women or blacks got the right to vote is because the founders provided a process for the peaceful altering of laws to reflect the will of the majority. Anyone who thinks there is another country on this planet that applies their laws as uniformly as the US...they are COMPLETELY uninformed!
Let's see, how did women in Afghanistan get the right to vote, go to school, own properties or run for office...oh yeah. 4000 DEAD AMERICANS!
And just for a little historical perspective for all the America hating progressive/socialist who always look to Europe and your beloved France for guidance, just exactly WHEN do you suppose women got the right to vote in France? I'll save you google bots the trouble. 1944....and when was it in America....oh yeah, the 19th amendment in 1920. Huh, imagine that.
And by the way, the BIRTH PLACE of modern socialism, England got suffrage in 1928. Not even the great Fabian socialist that you follow could speed that up.
Of course, blacks got the right to vote in 1870 in this country. LONG before women in just about any other country on the planet. By the way, ALL those countries had cultures and societies in place for a thousand years before we ever got to this continent. So I'd say we got around to it relatively soon compared to the rest of the world.
Oh, and just for you children whose only come back when confronted with truth is to say prove it, nunt nua or a link to Wiki like it's any more authoritative than some blogger setting in their footy pj's in momma's basement...we'll educate you just a little.
First, the definition of progressivism from the horse's mouth, the PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT! "
A political ideology advocating or favoring social, political, and economic reform or changes through the state." Translation, state ownership...controlled by the intellectual elite.
Socialism...state ownership controlled by the intellectual elite. Communism....state ownership controlled by the bureaucratic elite. Marxism...state ownership controlled by the social elite. Fascism...state ownership controlled by the ruling elite. I'm detecting a pattern here.
The ONLY difference in any of them is which son of a ***** is going to take your shit and give it to someone else!
Educational message number 2.
Article III - The Judicial Branch---Section 1 - Judicial powers---"
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."
Just for those of you who are reading comprehension compromised...I'll translate the bits I've made bold. "
...and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." All we need is Garret Morris SCREAMING IT AT YOU. But since he ain't and just so you get the inference, if Congress can establish a Court...THEY CAN ABOLISH IT!
Thank you Garret. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Then there is the second part about, "
...shall hold their Offices during good Behavior..." Now what the HELL do you suppose is meant by good behavior?
Let's see, elsewhere in the Constitution when the founders described a reason for removing someone from office, say a president or congressman, it says, for crimes and misdemeanors. Huh, wonder why men who held language so precious that they spent so few words to establish the longest running government in the history of man said "good behavior" instead? Maybe it's because it's WHAT THEY MEANT!!!
If they don't behave as an impartial applicant of the law in accordance with the Constitution, they got to GO!
During times of good behavior means they are to be held to a HIGHER standard than just being lawful personally. In fact, allowing personal predigest to affect their duties IS bad behavior!
And the last part, "
...during their Continuance in Office." Do you know what Continuance means? I'll give you a clue. It does NOT mean till death do us part. Nor does it mean till they can't be wheeled up to the bench any more. It means while they are in office. Judges were NEVER intended to be lifetime appointments...NEVER!
And in fact...they WEREN'T for much of our history!
So, the questions is still, progress to what? You don't have a freakin' clue! Just progress. We don't need to progress our government. We need to RECLAIM our government to it's founding principles!
And I know DAMN WELL what those are. It's spelled out plainly in our founding documents. The Declaration is the WHAT and the Constitution is the HOW!
Simple, effective and it's worked well till a bunch of self righteous, pseudo intellectuals who are barely smarter than a fifth grader decided they were smarter than the greatest collection of TRUE intellectuals ever gathered in one place at one time in the history of the world!
I'll take the smart guys and the Constitution thank you. You can KEEP your damn progress!
