And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Really the law should ban both male and female genital mutilation. But "conservatives" call you bad names if you support banning the maiming of young males.
It's nice to compare the two, but they are not the same. Men circumcised as adults often claim it's an improvement in sensitivity. Females are destroyed to eliminate sensitivity. That's just cruel.
What is the number of the Amendment that allows the government to give welfare, foodstamps, obamaphones, racial hiring preferences and the like to these ex-slave descendants? Because that is the most important thing when said descendants decide for whom they will vote. Those other Amendments are so far in the past they do not mean anything to them today. It's more about what have you done for me lately, and what are you going to do for me now and in the future.
like any existing law, the US Constitution is worthless if the citizen fails to enforce his or her rights under the law and the US Constitution. The freedoms we all enjoy have been bought and paid for in blood. it may just turn out that maintaining those freedoms for all of us may cost more blood as time goes on. government employees and officials must never forget that they are US citizens first and they must be held accountable under the law for all their actions good or bad.
The progressives ignore that.

ReplyDeleteJefferson was right. There’s been an extended drought and that tree looks like it needs watering.
