Not to be intentionally redundant, but I believe the Founders' firmest and continual intent is well expressed in the United State Constitution, created September 17, 1787.

While I appreciate all the previous article, they are most philosophical with the intent of rousing people to Conservatism.
My question encourages you (or any other contributor) to think about the DREAM of the Founding Fathers. Thanksgiving is a great time to be thankful and use our mental "time machine" to travel back to 1776 when documents were penned to put it into words. We had to fight a vicious war of Revolution to bring this nation into being. Most interestingly, many of those battles were fought "down South." Every time I travel I-85 before it reaches Charlotte is Kings Mountain / Cowpens / other places where blood was shed for freedom! What did the founders think about FREEDOM? What were the Whigs / Tories / Patriots / Colonialists / etc." What about the Halifax Accords that preceded the Declaration of Independence? NC was, perhaps, the real locus of Independence even though the document was signed in Philadelphia. Discussions took place in Boston, but NC was a big battlefield. Frances Marion, The Swamp-fox, is passed over as I travel down I-95 near Florence and cross over the swamps before getting there. What were those men of the south fighting for? Just a few points of thought any writer might consider. Our Southern Heritage should help us be more accurate than most in thinking about the struggle to found an "Experiment in Democracy." You touch the subject with the declaration that Beaufort County is a Republic rather than a Democracy --- explain the difference to readers, if you please. |
The intentions of the Founding Fathers goes well beyond what time now I have to donate to explaining what was in the hearts of our finest patriots, but I do know this: Liberal Democrats desecrating the Constitution is bad place for you people to exist.
I can, however, provide a link to posts on BCN regarding the Founding Fathers: beaufortcountynow.com ... Ad one more thing, our county is not a democracy, it is a republic. |
You have done well with your criticism about "Liberals." You say virtually NOTHING about the real DREAM OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS.
If you can kindly share such with all of us, I think we might have something to talk about and discuss. Just remember: This is still a mighty experiment in democracy and freedom many projected to be a failure. I am of the opinion we are in a constant cycle between too much freedom and too much conformity. The great dilemma is HOW CAN YOU PUT TOGETHER PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER AND OF EVERY SOCIAL CLASS AND STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE "E PLURIBUS UNIUM"??? I, for one, welcome you ideas on this |
Just don't let your 'school of hard knocks' education cloud your judgement.
These are serious issues, and one is not similar to the other over multiple generations. American society is in a state of flux, and when you stray far from the Constitution, and use Democrat talking points like, 'they've all done it', to minimize the seriousness, you miss the point that we are losing our Constitution, and when we lose that document, we lose the Republic. It's that simple. I am standing strong here that Obama, and all like minded Democrats, will not destroy my country, so they can win more votes from those that will not live by our laws. I'm not alone here, and there is a battle at hand. |
SORRY ~~~ my "talking points" on what I said are ONLY from my School of Hard Knocks experience of house loss / high taxes / little money with folks in the same boat to pay for my Tree Surgery skills --- outside a hurricane of tornado!
Chill, good buddy---enjoy the debate without trying to encapsulate me in ANY foolishness of PR~~~from any political camp. I prefer to camp under the stars and let them inspire me for TRUTH TELLING. |
I only use the word hate in rare circumstances.
You are "From the Middle" when you wish to be from the middle. When you use Democrat talking points, you are not from the middle. |
Stan--- you are now admitting to why you have problems NOT hating anyone you designate as "liberal."
By your own designation, you titled me "from the middle" --- then you want to position me to the left for the sources I cite. I also do BBC News to see how others in the world view us. It's seldom exactly the same as our media news. With me it's always DON'T THINK AS I THINK ~~~ BUT THINK! |
So, Gene, you only watch the channels that filter the news for Democrat consumption. The ones that will only publish true accounts of big stories after FOX News, or even Matt Drudge, so many more journalists break these stories that will form the backbone of today's history.
FOX News isn't perfect, but it is by far the best available because they are the only major TV news outlet with journalistic integrity. That is why FOX is hiring so many of the their best away from the former better news outlets. You, liberals, keep making fun of of "Faux" News, and we, much smarter/wiser Conservatives, will continue making fun of you. You guys are some easy targets. I remember being in Myrtle Beach on September 12, 2012, with others watching CNN, the morning after Benghazi. This was before The Amateur had formulated the lie about the 'despicable video'. That morning on CNN, two 'talking head' bimbos went back and forth for at least 30 minutes about how unfortunate it was that Mitt Romney made terrible remarks exposing The Amateur's Middle East policy for what it was, and how Mitt could have been partly responsible for the unruly crowd that took these lives. If CNN employs bimbos to tell me the events of the day, I don't watch CNN ... ever. I can't learn from stupid people. You know, these insufficient people would not have jobs if there were not so many Liberals. |
I get my news from many sources: Print / Internet / CNN / major networks / PBS ~~~ THEN I make up my own mind and note the bestiality of Fox News and the new Blaze Network where Conservative commentators, like cow manure, are in one big pile that stinks when the wind blows my way!
Years ago I lived in Hartsville, SC. Depending on the wind direction I got a choice of 3 odors: Soybean Oil Mill (smelled like cooking ham) / SONOCO paper products (smelled like sulfur) / a chicken hatchery (smelled like FAUX). Some days were delightful and others not so nice! |
You Liberals really do love your talking points. And you do so hate "Faux" News.
Where do Liberals get their news anyway? I'd love to know. There has to be a reason why Liberals don't know real stuff about America, the Constitution, and why they can not discern obvious differences of real information, from that which is spun to enhance their leaders, who aren't so good at knowing real stuff themselves. It really is a vicious cycles that liberals find themselves in. |
I know a "little bit" about comparisons between then and now.
I also know that what the Obama speech did was essentially what George H.W. Bush and his son BOTH addressed in an almost identical fashion. "Why does the heathen rage?" is a good old Conservative question! Can you answer why such as Boehner and others like old John McCain carry on since his address to the nation. Add the Conservative commentators of FAUX News who try to make a mole hill into a mountain of Impeachment---that will never be without shooting themselves in the foot --- or about 2 joints up and half way around! |
