“Living” or Established Foundation
Talk about a middle class dream home! It was brick with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage, concrete patio, fenced-in back yard situated on a half acre plot in the “good” part of town. What more could a young family need? It was truly a wonderful place to live and raise a family. But beneath the surface (literally beneath the floor) there was a cracked drain pipe which leaked warm, bacteria laden water every time the washing machine operated.
The results, although slow to be noticed, were none the less devastating. The base of the residence became a breeding ground for mold, mildew and who knows what else. The very foundation of the home was “living” and changing. Only a tremendous effort saved the structure from total collapse. The really sad news? A simple inspection followed by some low-skilled maintenance and the whole ugly, costly episode could have been avoided.
The moral of the story is A FOUNDATION THAT IS “LIVING” DESTROYS THE HOUSE.
Don’t you find it alarming that people claiming the Constitution of the United States to be a “living” document are everywhere trying to kill it? I believe this is the defining thread pulling various groups on the Right together. Give us back our Constitutional government! Let this be the rally cry of Libertarian, conservative and Tea-Bagger alike.
Let’s not kid ourselves; we are past the point where a simple inspection and a little maintenance will do. We have to do difficult things that are going to be painful. Perhaps most difficult of all will be to admit we were wrong. The truly “Great Society” provides equal opportunity, not redistribution. Redistribution is only a disguise for slavery and tyranny. No more “New Deals” it was a lemon, just give us back Old Ironsides.
Through neglect, we the people have seen our foundation become infected with a disease called Progressivism. Make no mistake, Progressivism means to progress beyond the Constitution. Those who trumpet this tune mean to completely change America. The infection has spread, our foundation is crumbling, and our civil society is on the brink of collapse.
We can still vote the bums out. The question is, will we?
Thanks for reading.

Good analogy, Bryan. The Constitution does not change over time and it shouldn't. Those who want to change it are really wanting to change our country itself. For some reason, the progressives want our country to be more like the rest of the world, but I contend that is not even close to a good thing. Our country was founded to be different and it has been thus for over 200 years. Because of it's "difference", it has been able to withstand a lot of storms and has helped the rest of the world weather them as well. It has cost countless American lives, but our country still stands today. To change it would be a travesty.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
I must say that generally I’m really impressed with this blog. After reading your post I can tell you are well-informed and knowledgeable about your writing. Keep up the great work and I’ll return for more! Cheers!
It’s refreshing to see someone very chuffed about what they do. If only I had your writing aptitude. I look forward to more updates and will be returning.Thanks!
