“Somebody Needs to Make the Case For the Constitution”

American, American Thinker, founding principles, U.S. Constitution

The folks at American Thinker have seen fit to publish an article I’ve written entitled:”Somebody Needs to Make the Case For the Constitution“. Though AT’s interest has everything to do with content and nothing to do with this author, I am of course pleased, grateful, and honored to be included among such fine company, if only for a time.

To the content of the article, I think the subject matter is clear enough, though it’s not so clear exactly who this “somebody” is. I don’t know, maybe it’s you… It is also somewhat ambiguous to some as to the reasoned urgency of “making the case”, but to the same this will be evident once the case is made.

Judging from some of the reactions to it thus far [on A.T.], I want to make a few quick comments: 1.) The article means not to imply that “nobody” is currently, vigorously making the case for the Constitution, 2.) some consideration as to whom, primarily, the case needs to be made, is in order, and 3.) being that the article is bit of a clarion call, it was hoped that it might encourage greater summaries in defense of the Constitution. ~tdv

Update 02.24.2013: Posted the complete article here

“There is a sublimity in conscious rectitude – in comparison with which the treasures of earth are not worth naming.” ~J. Hawes? @ 08.16.12
note: found this quote at Webster’s 1828 Dictionary; Definition of “Rectitude”

If you need a reason to be reasonable, then it is unlikely that you can be reasoned with. @ 08.16.12

Did you know that Hamilton considered the Preamble a better recognition of popular rights than any Bill of Rights? ~fed.84,par.8 @ 08.16.12
CotUS merely intended to regulate general political interests of the nation, not every species of personal & private concerns. ~fed.84,par.9 @ 08.16.12
Hamilton said of the Bill of Rights: “why declare that things shall not be done, which there is no power to do?” ~fed.84,par.10 @ 08.16.12
Ref: Federalist No.84 ~Alexander Hamilton

Fun with HashTags ~ 08.14.12 Edition ~ #ObamaDictionary
BUSINESS: 1) A bothersome piggy bank, 2) Labor union underling @
RADICAL: Any traditional activity or person @
FAILURE: The United States before Obama Monarchy @
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: Political focus group @

Next VP Paul Ryan today: “We wont replace our founding principles, we will reapply them… We will honor You” @ 08.11.12
Related: His Jan’10 speech “Health Care in a Free Society” ~RESPECT for the founding principles.
Only a true Marxist progressive would view the support for America’s founding principles as radical. Wear it with honor, Mr. Ryan. @ 08.11.12
If Paul Ryan is radical, then socialism is the new norm, and the American experiment is dead. This is pure leftist progressive delusional spin. @ 08.11.12
It is Needed and Refreshing, Paul Ryan using his New Stage to expound our Founding Principles, natural rights, etc. Thank you, sir. @ 08.13.12

Yeah, maybe everything has already been said… but not everybody has heard it. @ 08.11.12

The only problem with reducing things to their simplest terms is that you really don’t have anything else to say when you’re done. @ 08.11.12

The last thing I’ll do, is the last thing I can. @ 08.10.12

“The liberal/progressive way…. is just not the American way.” ~ @Daggy1 That this needs saying, marks what they’ve done to us. @ 08.09.12
