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! ![]() |
