If the Constitution starts to move, then there is literally no brake on the power of the state. Then absoluteness is transferred from the people to the state, and our experiment in liberty is effectively over. Which is precisely how the left has wanted it to be, beginning with Woodrow Wilson:..."<br /><br />Yep. And the parking brake that Pro-Regressives like Wilson particularly hate, are those in our Bill of Rights, especially the 1st & 2nd Amdts.

Absoluteness must be somewhere, or thinking itself is impossible. For if knowledge isn't certain, then it isn't knowledge.”<br /><br />That’s for certain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131472318246441780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-55497458133930229762018-07-25T17:47:02.395-07:002018-07-25T17:47:02.395-07:00The unthinking cliché that heliocentrism and Darwi...<i>The unthinking cliché that heliocentrism and Darwinism somehow ousted man from the center of the universe is just... an unthinking cliché. To the extent that it is true, it can only be said by a creature situated at the top and center.</i><br /><br />This speaks to why suicide is such a terrible act. To murder one person is terrible, but when you kill yourself you in essence destroy the whole world.<br /><br /><i>1: The proclamation of our autonomy is the founding act of Hell.</i><br />Or as Crowley put it, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." Those who practice what he preached do their part to create hell on earth.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
