Would media have published an unsourced Op-Ed such as this one?
Would citizens have been offended by the POTUS using phrases such as “Americans First”?
Did citizens have to be told not to stage a protest during the national anthem?
Did people need to be told that it was inappropriate for men to shit next to little girls?
I could add to this list all day long....Why do bad people wonder why good people tend to be traditionalists?
You seem to have missed Jim Crow laws, denial of gay men and women to serve in our nation armed forces, the time before amendments to COTUS gave voting rights to all citizens, even women, the Lily Ledbetter Law, labor relations acts, Miranda Rights, gay rights, etc.
Something traditionalists, aka, reactionaries, seem to want, i.e. a return of America into what it was before the Civil War.
I missed it. And by proxy... Miss it still. Indeed this nation has been corrupted into something its founders never intended.
What did the founders intend?
Looks as if Vastator has run away. When someone makes a claim as did he, he ought to wait more than one minute before running a way.
I'll answer for him, here in one paragraph is the vision signed off on the Constitution, to wit:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
This is clear and concise and something easily understood by those who understand when it was written and why.
