My, how you are so unconcerned with what Washington and our other founders believed and said. You and most other liberals prefer to have things the way you feel they should be, rather than what our founders intended things to be. That said, please proceed to debate.
He was speaking of "morality" and "ethics" as understood by the founders. To a large extent, it was religion that set those founding principles. Your reply, however, is typical of the American leftwing; i.e., that the Constitution means what you want it to mean, and screw the principles upon which our nation was founded if they don't fit with your concepts of "right" and "wrong". You should thank nature's God that we Conservatives don't agree with you about that! I'll put the brains of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Adams, Hamilton, and our other founders up against any politician (or physicist) today. Unfortunately, leftist politicians keep convincing themselves that they know best. "Morality" and "Ethics" are hard to come by in today's politicians, especially in those now running the Senate and the Executive branch.
I fully agree! However, that's not what progressive Democrats do when they don't like the laws. They appoint liberal Justices who interpret the founders' Constitutional intent in whatever manner necessary to make the law what they want it to be. That tactic is tyranny, and is NOT what the founders intended. Rather than having the Legislators pass controversial laws and suffering the potential wrath of their constituents, they surreptitiously do it through corrupt courts.
I was trying to debate "original intent of the Constitution" and the requisite for strong national principles of "right" and "wrong". You and other liberals here have yet to debate anything! Why don't you address the questions inherent in the posts I made?
1. When all of the primary sources support our conservative positions on Constitutional interpretation, what argument justifies ANY opposing interpretations?? Please don't pull that old "times-are-different-now" argument. If times are different, then Amend the Constitution as required by law!!!
2. When our founders unanimously declared that our nation's prosperity, security, and longevity depended upon a solid foundation of Judeo-Christian morality and work-ethics, how do you justify any opposing views??
The ball is in your court now. Don't drop it!
