Laurie and I are enrolled in a 12 week class called "Constitution 101". It is available free through Hilldale College but I recommend taking the class live if available in your area. We are taking it in Prescott. You will meet fellow concerned citizens and will learn or relearn what it means to be an American. Our class is led by a husband and wife team and the husband is a lawyer.

When was the last time YOU placed your hand over your heart and reciting "The Pledge of Allegiance" with other people? It is an incredibly cathartic experience.

When was the last time YOU read "The Declaration of Independence", "The Constitution of The United States of America", and "The Bill of Rights"? I encourage you to do so at your local beer garden on a warm sunny day.

Careful, Tom. Parading around the constitution is considered a seditious act these days. You may find yourself on a watchlist.

...can we force our elected officials to take the same course, as part of their new-hire orientation package?

Way to go Mr. and Mrs. Reindog

Only TWO colleges in USA that do not take state and federal aid.

Those two:
Hillsdale
Grove City

Solid education from either.

Lots of people from around the world have graduated from these two excellent schools!

There is no substitute for education and freeing the mind so it can flourish.

Did you know that prior to the 20th century Harvard, for instance, that their graduating classes were over 70% in pastoral care.

Our children deserve better than the tripe being fed them!

R.D....I truly believe most of them are as stupid as the people who elect them. The majority truly ARE that ignorant of our nation, it's founders, and the ideals everything was built upon.

Even giving the benefit of the doubt that elected officials are the "best of the best" (I do not, by the way, subscribe to that belief)....you're still looking at a piss-poor educational pool to pick from. "Best of the best", in the case of the American public...is a pretty low bar.

There is a ray of hope in Arizona. There is much work ahead for the several hundred participants in our Republican Precinct Committeemen meeting today in Prescott. We are getting a head start on 2022 getting Conservative candidates nominated, voter registration drives, meetings with legislators, requesting to speak on issues in front of the Legislature, redistricting, education, and fund raising.

We are in the process of making Arizona a gun sanctuary state using the same language that California successfully used for their illegal alien sanctuary city/state legislation.

Can you stand up in your State to roll back the tide of despotism, and post Constitutionality?

We've got a lot of work to get done. How about you? Get to work, Badwebbers.

It would be great to get a study of the constitution, with a discussion here. Would any body else be interested?

I'm in.

I'm familiar with it, but nowhere near where I should be. Civics class was a LONG time ago!

Brad - this isn't worked up. This is reality.

You should pay attention to what's going on.

Taking a class with like minded people is enlightening. When was the last time you stood with others with your hand over your heart reciting The Pledge of Allegiance in front of an American Flag? It is cathartic and inspiring.

The big picture purpose of the Constitution is to protect the People from the Government. Period. That is a wonderful and unique way of viewing the almost religious gift that the Reasoned Founding Fathers gave to us Americans. It is really quite astounding if you should meditate on our Blessings. However, I am fearful that we are beginning to live in a Post Constitutional America and that will not have a happy ending if one is a student of history.

Remember, we are a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Democracy is an unstable form of government which always leads to Oligarchy or worse. The Constitution provides a method to protect us from the Tyranny of the Majority but we are about to learn some of the weaknesses that the Founding Fathers inadvertently left out of the Constitution. The despotism of the Democrat Party is once again raising its almost demonic head. It once was the Party of Slavery and has been reborn as the Party of Equity which is revealing itself daily as an Orwellian nightmare. Try dismounting from your Buell and declaring this and see what happens to you. I was banned from Facebook while using the EXACT same words that Biden posted. Study the history of the Cultural Revolution which occurred in China in 1966. My Chinese piano teacher was sent to a China reeducation camp where his crime was wearing glasses and playing the piano. It is virtually no different than today when you might have said a stupid joke forty years ago and now become Cancel Cultured.

I implore you to gather your Loved Ones, place your hand over your heart and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. You might awaken and renew your spirit of love long since forgotten, for the Blessings that is America, the Greatest country on the Earth.

Which Badge do you wear? The one that says that we are One people with beautiful flavors of culture and diversity? Or the one that says you are a member of a group with grievances relative to all others which makes you victim demanding redress?

If the latter, please read "The Prince" by Machiavelli and ponder your perspective.

Start by rereading the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. Over beer, if necessary.

None of it will come to fruition unless the country reverses its fall into ungodliness. As John Adams so astutely noted:


"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

The Hillsdale class is exceptional though. I could take it again online. Great stuff.

Thanks Hogs..
Red the Declaration last night, Though provoking. The founders put it all on the line to get the fight started.

The list of grievances was significant and bears some thought. There are some parallels to today.

The current political situation bares some similarities.

I wonder if we had to choose could we put it " all on the line "
