Yes the oh-so-intellectual Trump Haters try to short circuit every discussion to NAZI!!! RACIST!!! PUTIN'S PUPPET!!!!
I'm sure Madison wasn't the only one to disagree with the wording in parts of the constitution. They evaluated all the complaints, decided which changes should be made, and voted on the outcome. If you disagree with their decisions, you'll just have to get over yourself.
I'm still laughing at how you were hung by your own petard.....
So I made a mistake. Are you as quick acknowledging mistakes?
I can be generous....let me help you pull your foot out of your mouth.
If you are a tRump supporter you are not.
Who I voted for has nothing to do with your silly list not being factual.
When I disagree with Trump I post threads about it.
Ashamed?
That has never happened.
There is a 750 post threat I started supporting the free speech of Mahmoud Khlil and one called "Trump won...so what?"
Why do you think we have the rule of law and constitutional governance in this country?
Because we used the Old Testament as the basis for our Constitution.
| This question was asked by political science professors at the University of Houston. They rightfully felt that they could determine the source of the Founders’ ideas if they could collect the writings from the Founding Era and see whom the Founders were quoting. The researchers assembled 15,000 writings from the founding Era – no small sample – and searched those writings. That project spanned ten years; but at the end of that time, the researchers had isolated 3,154 direct quotes made by the Founders and had identified the source of those quotes. The researchers discovered that Baron Charles de Montesquieu was the man quoted most often by the founding fathers, with 8.3 percent of the Founders’ quotes being taken from his writings. Sir William Blackstone was the second most-quoted individual with 7.9 percent of the Founder’s quotes, and John Locke was third with 2.9 percent. Surprisingly, the researchers discovered that the founders quoted directly out of the bible 4 times more than they quoted Montesquieu, 4 times more often than they quoted Blackstone, and 12 times more often than they quoted John Locke. Thirty four percent of the Founders’ quotes came directly out of the bible. The study was even more impressive when the source of the ideas used by Montesquieu, Blackstone, and Locke were identified. Consider for example, the source of Blackstone’s ideas. Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws was first introduced in 1768, and for the next 100 years America’s courts quoted Blackstone to settle disputes, to define words, and to examine procedure; Blackstone’s Commentaries were the final word in the Supreme Courts. So what was a significant source of Blackstone’s ideas? Perhaps the best answer to that question can be given through the life of Charles Finney. Charles Finney is known as a famous revivalist, minister, and preacher from one of America’s greatest revivals; the Second Great Awakening in the early 1800’s. Finney, in his autobiography, spoke of how he received his call to ministry. He explained that – having determined to become a lawyer – he, like all other law students at the time, commenced the study of Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws. Finney observed that Blackstone’s Commentaries not only provided the laws, it also provided the Biblical concepts on which those laws were based. Finney explained that in the process of studying Blackstone, he read so much of the Bible that he became a Christian and received his call to the ministry. Finney’s life story clearly identified a major source of Blackstone’s ideas for law. So, while 34% of the Founders’ quotes came directly out of the Bible, many of their quotes were taken from men – like Blackstone – who had used the Bible to arrive at their own conclusions.” This doesn’t even include Supreme Court decisions, Congressional records, speeches, inaugurations, etc. all of which include sources of Biblical content and concepts. I can produce those as well, if need be ,as well as what was taught in American schools for the first 175 years. Bear in mind, the above is not some made up opinion, it is well documented, irrefutable research into actual quotes from the Founders.
