To the Department of Homeland Security:
I am delighted to learn of your intense & increasing interest in learning the original intent of Our Constitution! Please feel free to browse around to your hearts’ content.
Also, if any of you have questions as to the original intent of any provision or provisions of Our Constitution, please feel free to post your questions.
To learn Our Constitution, you will need to get a copy of The Federalist Papers; and for word definitions, Webster’s 1828 Dictionary of the American Language. You can find The Federalist Papers on line; and here is an online copy of Webster’s 1828 Dictionary: As I trust you know, word meaning are like the clouds: meanings change as time passes. So, naturally, we want to focus on the meanings enjoyed by Words during the Era of our Founding.
OK! Here is your homework assignment: Get a hard copy of The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Read them cover to cover. Using different colored pencils, highlight (1) the powers of Congress, (2) the powers of the Executive Branch, and (3) the powers of the judicial branch.
With a 4th color, highlight all references to God in both Documents!
Please pay particular attention to what the Declaration says about the SOURCE of our Rights. Mark that with a 5th color.
Surprising, isn’t it?
Oh! You can get pocket copies from the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, etc. I think Heritage sells them in bulk – really cheap – so you can buy lots and distribute them to your co-workers, family and friends.
Again, do not be shy about posting your questions! I am just a little old lady, and do not bite.
Kindest regards, Publius Huldah.

Our real dilemma with the Constitution is finding a way to stop our Elected Criminals in Washington from violating it with impunity. Sadly, this has been going on for many, many years. Now, there seems not to be the least concern by our lawmakers and administrators about violating the Constitution.
Hi PH:
I was just turned on to you by a friend of a friend this evening. Maybe we’re related (tee hee). I love your stuff.
If you find yourself in Kansas City, I’d be honored to buy you dinner…or a drink…or coffee…whatever.
Sleep good.
Publius50
Well, I revere our Framers; and all I do is show what THEY said and apply it to our problems of today.
Thank you for your kind words, Publius50!
Dear PB
I know I’m completely out of place, writing to you simply because I’m not an American, I don’t live in America but I believe in the country and I believe it is God given. I have never heard of you until today. Freedom Outpost, to which I subscribe, showed an article on you, which I read. That in itself was surprisingly thorough and bold but the video on you explaining yourself simply knocked me off my feet. I decided to find out who Plaubius Huldah is. Admittedly it’s a rather unique name. Funny that there doesn’t seem to be a Wiki entry on this person though (maybe I missed it or it didn’t appear at the top of the search list) but I went to the WordPress blog. And I’m left stunned in total disbelief at the depth of your work.
I admire you greatly. I am a Malaysian although I have lived in Australia for 23 years. I’ve seen liberalism at work in government AND in churches and it’s only recently that I realised how much so many of us were hoodwinked by labels such as multiculturalism. The second victory by Obama was more than we could stomach even in Malaysia – we had pinned our hopes on a Republican return but alas, it was not to be.
I am a strong Christian and in our church, we do include America in our prayers. We believe that God has touched your great country to do great work. I pray that you and all those who are similar in strength of spirit and vigorous in evicting Islamisation will succeed. I’m not very optimistic unfortunately but I do see your point – if the federal government doesn’t do anything, the states can. I like that. Thank you for your tremendous wisdom. You have so much on your site that I don’t even know where to begin to read but I have bookmarked it.
You are a gift from God. Truly, justly and most favourably. Do keep up the good work. May God bless America.
Regards
Khen Lim
My dear Khen,
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! You are not out of place at all! I am thrilled to hear from you.
“Publius” is for the pen name Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay used when they wrote The Federalist Papers in 1787-1788. These papers were written to explain the proposed Constitution for the United States to the American People and induce them to ratify it.
“Huldah” is for the prophet at 2 Kings 22. Then, as now, the Law had been lost for a long time – I am trying to restore it.
During the late 19th century, the philosophy of Pragmatism (William James, Charles Saunders Peirce, John Dewey) arose in America. It rejected the concept of an Objective Reality with its Timeless Truths. Instead of concerning oneself with the question of whether something is “True”, the pragmatist asks, “What difference will it make in my life whether I believe it or don’t believe it?” So one looks to the “utility” of believing it or not believing it. If it has a good result for me, it is “true”. If it has a bad result for me, it is not “true”. What is “true” for me may not be “true” for you, so an idea can be “true” for some and not “true” for others. Furthermore, what is “true” for me today may not be “true” for me tomorrow, so “truth” evolves.
Pragmatism morphed into Existentialism (Jean-Paul Sartre). Existentialism rejects an objective basis for life in favor of a subjective basis: Humans are merely biological organisms living meaningless lives, making “choices” on the basis of no criteria whatsoever other than their own likes or dislikes. Since there is no basis for any external Principles or Standards to which we must conform, people are free to do whatever they want.
So with both philosophies, we tossed the concept of Objective Truth – Objective Reality – Fixed Principles & Standards – out the window.
This mindset is now almost universal.
The result is moral relativism.
With moral relativism, there is no basis for saying that one culture is better than another – that one political system is better than another. By what standard would one judge? There is no standard.
So this is the philosophical basis for multiculturalism.
So how do I explain this to People? Perhaps the easiest way is to get people to LOOK AT THE FACTS and believe what the FACTS compel them to believe. Is a culture which tortures & maims women & children really morally equivalent to a culture based on Judeo-Christian principles?
There is a child’s story. “The Emperor Has No Clothes” by Hans Christian Anderson. People believe and repeat the most idiotic things! But “everyone” says them! It took a little child to point out the obvious, but no one had the guts to say. You can find this story on line.
Thank you for contacting me!
Hi PH… do have your chart on the General Welfare and Commerce clause posted here? You emailed it to me a few months ago, but i have somehow managed to lose or misplaced it.
I’ll email it to you in a few minutes, Spense.
let me know if it isn’t the right chart.
PH…. That’s the one, thanks!
We are fighting it in Alabama and have done a large amount of research. If someone reminds me, I will post a PDF of our work on Monday. This is one of our sources, chocked full I might add, of the cow pies contained in the Common Core play book that only wants to impose “social justice” education be damned.
Publius, I hope you don’t mind my putting some information on your comment page. If so, I won’t do it again.
Parker, we are also fighting CCSS in Michigan as well. The website http://truthinamericaneducation.com/ is a wealth of information. Join the Yahoo group and you will have information from people all over the country, from Utah to DC, to Michigan and more. Also, if you have a thick skin and love to debate the people who hate everything that is against public school education including vouchers and charter schools, subscribe to Diane Ravitch’s blog. She has some good posts and some not so good posts. She is a WordPress blog as well. http://dianeravitch.net/
Be my guest, dear. Any time!
Hi PH, I hope you’re doing well. I have a suggestion for a paper if you’re not swamped and wondering what to write about.. A very hot topic in Illinois is Common Core State Standards that the federal government has coerced onto some states. Many people don’t realize the federal government has NO lawful authority to make laws on education. They are unaware that belongs solely to the states. The Obama administration is continuing the federal government pursuit of nationalizing education and removing all state and local (ie.. parental) control from education. Many are totally ignorant of this…. parents should be scared to death of this usurpation.
Too many people are aware of what is happening in this country and don’t know what to do about it.
One could start by making a decision to do something about it.
This may help!

OATH KEEPERS: ORDERS WE WILL NOT OBEY
Click here to read full length version.
http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2009/03/03/declaration-of-orders-we-will-not-obey/
1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”

There is at this time a debate within the ranks of the military regarding their oath. Some mistakenly believe they must follow any order the President issues. But many others do understand that their loyalty is to the Constitution and to the people, and understand what that means.
If you have never taken the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic … , you may do so here:

Thank you, Thomas.
There is a way you can download it to your own computer and make your own DVD. I don’t know how it is done, but someone you know will know.
Feel free to make your own. As many as you like. Perhaps give them as gifts along with pocket copies of Our Declaration of Independence and Constitution!
Is there anyway for me to obtain a copy of,http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/publius-huldah-shows-federal-gun-control-is-unlawful. Please let me know via email. thank You tom marotta

Greetings Publius-Huldah,
First, I will assure you that I am in no way attached, or affilitated with that other “Joseph” you have had exchanges with.
That said, I only recently saw video of your testimony in front of the TN Assembly Judiciary Committee and was(Am) astounded and inspired by your presentation. I first saw a short excerpt sent me by friends who were in the gallery, experiencing you “live”. My first thought: “When I grow up (I am 49yrs old), I want to be “Publius-Josephus”! I have communicated this to my friend, while thanking her for introducing you into my consciousness. I have subsequently viewed your entire presentation on youtube, and have come to the conclusion that you are a “National Heroine”.
I have been studying the US Constitution, for a while now, but you have inspired me to take my study to a new level. I will now dig into your archives, and soak in all I can, as I continue.
Blessings to you, and your mission. I pray that many join you. I certainly intend to.
Sincerely,
Joseph
Thank you, my dear!
So you must be a 3rd Joseph! Are you in Tennessee?
I am continually amazed at just how many otherwise intelligent and knowing people have no concept about the prerequisite requirements to hold the office of President. Of course, I refer to the infamous “Natural Born Citizen” mandate. The information presented in this wonderful blog makes it remarkably easy to comprehend, yet so many of us refuse to accept it as fact.
I suppose that those who gleefully support our present occupant of the White House will never accept the truth. However, what rationale can be used by the myraid of media wonks, Republicans, and others who oppose Mr. Obama? Is the entire Nation afraid to articulate the truth?
I don’t understand it. It just seems that most people don’t care about “Truth” – they just want to believe what they already believe.
And then, there is this: Establishment republicans are determined to cram Marco Rubio down our throats. He is NOT a NBC. So the establishment republicans don’t want to hear any of this “birther” stuff. Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Glen Beck, etc.,etc., all mock & ridicule us – they want Marco Rubio and don’t care whether he is eligible. So I lost all respect for those three.
I understand that there is functionally, little difference between the two Party organizations in Washington. Why is the Supreme Court so leery to tackle this issue?
The jurisdiction of the federal courts is set forth at Art. III, Sec. 2, cl. 1, U.S. Constitution. That lists the kinds of cases federal courts are permitted to hear.
The problem you mentioned – that the two major political parties are basically the same – is not an issue which falls within the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
About 100 years ago, the Progressives took over both major political parties – and both parties have been fooling the American people ever since.
We pay a heavy price for our inattention and shallowness.
I agree entirely about the timing of the Progressive attitude of our illustrious elected AntiConstitution politicians! Seemingly, it has infected most State Legislatures and Governor’s Mantions, too. A Constitutional Convention is a much needed event.
Dear 1st Sgt,
A con con is the worst idea since sin. Please go to my Daily Commentary page and scroll down to :
WARNING AGAINST A CON-CON (a/k/a “Art. V Convention”)
After you have considered that, let me know if you have any questions.
I’ve been talking to the younger generation, 20 year olds (I’m 70), about the Constitution. Seems to me to be in their best interest. Trying to enlighten these people on the Constitution often results in the comment that the Constitution is out dated, perhaps to shut me up. The best response I’ve been able to come up with is, “Do you consider what we have today an update.” I guess I just can’t get much lower than that. Unless I start talking to 12 year olds.
When I was in public school in the 1950s, we studied the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers. I don’t remember when that got tossed but I could guess it was about the time Psychiatry entered the school system. Check out “The Soviet Art of Brainwashing” and learn of Beria’s master plan for destroying the United States, without firing a shot. We’re following the plan. NK stole the comment from Beria and voiced it aloud while banging a shoe on the table. Was big news back then.
The people are not capable of electing someone more intelligent than they are. This is the revenge of the “C” student. I never would have believed that a senator would say out loud, to the world, that a bill would have to pass so we could then find out what’s in it.
We need to get these things back into our public school’s curriculum. Talking to my generation is like talking to the wall.
The younger generation, and most of those in our generation, do not understand that there are fixed, eternal Principles. They do not understand that our federal Constitution created a federal government of extremely limited & defined (“enumerated”) powers.
Then tell them a little of NAZI Germany, and Stalin’s Soviet Union, and Mao’s Red China. In each of those lands millions and millions of people were killed, starved to death, worked to death, in order to bring about the “socialist paradise”.
Then, ask them “what goes out of style about a civil government with only limited powers?”
Some school districts throughout the Country are coming to my website. It is more and more all the time. Usually 1 – 2 every day. They go to my paper on the President’s enumerated powers.
Someone running for Governor of his State could run on a platform of doing as you suggest and on separating the schools in his State from the federal government.
I read your article on Rubio and I have lived in Florida many years and now I live in Crossville Tennessee and heard you speak on 1-8-13.I believe Rubio is a snake in the grass and is like a wave on the ocean taken by the wind.What concerns me the most is his flip-flop on illegals and I know he will crumble in with Amnesty. I also remember living in Florida when Jeb Bush was allowing illegals to come in by the bus load I lost a job of nearly ten years to illegals I watched communities invaded on a month by month basis.This why I stood up about the pushing of a third party the Bushes,Rubio’s and other clowns will say some T.Party stuff but never intend to carry it out. Thank You for your visit Bill…
Thank you, Bill.
It makes me sick to hear the establishment conservatives all telling us how great marco rubio is. Even Rush Limbaugh. Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, etc. etc., are pushing him hard on us.
I suspect that may be why they mocked us “birthers” for questioning zero’s status as a natural born citizen.
Publius, it’s not that he’s so great, because I don’t think he is either. He has no experience, but then again neither did the Kenyan in the White House. With that said, Rubio is not eligible to run for president anyway. He falls under the “not a natural born citizen.” He himself said that he was born BEFORE his parents were naturalized. Is there some hidden “catch” that the Repubs are using to talk him up, or can he really run?
Chris J
well, rubio can run for president b/c the Establishment “conservatives” and the Establishment Republicans ignore the requirement that the President (and Vice President) be natural born citizens. I suspect they mocked us for challenging zero’s eligibility b/c they didn’t want us challenging marco rubio’s eligibility. I’ve lost all respect for Ann Coulter, Glen Beck, etc., b/c they mocked the birthers.
Sheriffs called out to fight the law – excerpt
Now, as Washington gears up to consider imperious plans to limit guns, require fingerprinting and registration, impose additional taxes and fees, ban particular features or functions outright, and even confiscate weapons of self-defense, Mack has told WND that there’s hope remaining in local law enforcement.
It’s not complicated, he said.
“Gun control is illegal, and it’s against the Constitution,” he said. “What people don’t realize is that the Second Amendment was designed to protect us from the power of the federal government.”
He said he would expect sheriffs across the country to defend the rights of ordinary Americans.
Mack said. “The sheriffs need to be united in letting the federal government know that we’re not going to allow it.
“Out of 200 sheriffs with whom I’ve met, I’ve only had one give me a wishy-washy answer. That one said he would try to take the federal government to court,” Mack said. “Most of them have said they would lay down their lives first rather than allow any more federal control. They also said they would do everything they could to stop gun control and gun confiscation.”
Alan Stang at News With Views wrote about another battle Mack encountered while sheriff. A bridge had washed out and parents were driving children 26 miles to school, which physically was located only half a mile across a river.
The county decided to the fix the bridge and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers warned that an environmental study alone would take 10 years. Mack promised to provide protection for the workers, and said he’d call out a posse if needed. The bridge was built.
“In 1997, in Nye County, Nev., federal agents arrived to seize cattle that belonged to rancher Wayne Hage. The sheriff gave them a choice: skedaddle or be arrested. They skedaddled. …
In Idaho, a 74-year-old rancher shot an endangered gray wolf which had killed one of his calves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent three armed agents to serve a warrant. Lemhi County Sheriff Brett Barslou said that was ‘inappropriate, heavy-handed and dangerously close to excessive force.’ More than 500 people turned out for a rally in the small towns of Challis and Salmon to support the sheriff and the rancher and to tell the federal government to back off.”
“If the federal government wants to start a new Civil War, all they need to do is go ahead with gun confiscation,” Mack said.
Just a day earlier, WND reported that Firearms Coalition Executive Director Jeff Knox said Second Amendment supporters aren’t planning negotiations with Obama over gun control. “We are not going to back down. We are not going to give in. And we are not going to concede one more inch,” Knox said.
“Unfortunately, the president and other anti-rights politicians are not doing anything to keep what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary from happening again,” he said. “Instead they are going after law-abiding gun owners and targeting commonly owned firearms and ammunition feeding devices. Their proposed restrictions on these items would have had no impact on what happened at Sandy Hook, and, if passed, would not stop the next craven murderer from wreaking just as much havoc and destruction.”
“The county sheriffs need to act and make new deputies to stop federal authority in the counties,” Pratt told WND. “This is a defensible idea. He can deputize people to serve since they are the ones who voted for him to represent them. A lot of citizens would stand up for their Second Amendment rights if they were protected by the sheriff.”
He cited a move that already is surging among states to adopt laws and use the Tenth Amendment to curb federal activity. The Tenth Amendment simply reserves to the states and the people all responsibilities not specifically assigned to Washington in the Constitution.
Pratt noted the move that over the past few years has seen eight states adopt laws that exempt firearms made, sold and kept in the state from federal oversight. The federal government has taken the issue to court, where it remains at this point.
“A number of states are passing laws that use the Tenth Amendment to curb federal control. Their law says that if a gun is made in the state and sold in the state, that the federal government has no control over it,” Pratt said.
“In Elkhart County, Ind., there was a farmer who produced raw milk. The Department of Justice was investigating the farmer and was trying to shut down the farm,” Pratt said. “Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers defended the farmer by saying that without a warrant signed by a judge and without probable cause, they had no jurisdiction to investigate the farmer within his jurisdiction of Elkhart County.”
“Rogers said that if they didn’t leave, he would arrest them. The DoJ threatened to arrest him, but Rogers sent his deputies to defend the farmer,” Pratt said. “The feds have had to back off.”
He also said local officials in New Mexico burned trees from a small parcel of federal land to halt a raging forest fire. “The sheriff is the chief officer in the county even on federal land if the land is in the county,” Pratt said.
But Washington is not idle. Barack Obama said he will put the weight of his office behind gun control, and Feinstein even has proposed a federal gun buyback program that has been endorsed by about 40 members of Congress. Feinstein’s dedication to eliminating the Second Amendment is unquestioned. The California Democrat was one of sponsors of the so-called “Brady Bill,” the 1995 “assault weapons” ban. Faced with the limitations placed in the version that was making its way through Congress, Feinstein said, “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up every gun in America, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in.”
Mack, who is also the founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, said Feinstein is a “polimagician,” a political leader who believes his or her policies will work magic for their constituents. “They think they’re special and better than everyone else. Feinstein’s [own] concealed carry permit is the product of this elitist attitude,” Mack said. He said Congress and Obama simply are loading their political agenda onto the backs of the victims of Sandy Hook.
Recently, a federal judge struck down a North Carolina provision that authorizes a ban on firearms and ammunition outside homes during “a declared emergency,” determining that violates the Second Amendment. Judge Malcolm J. Howard wrote, “[T]he court finds that the statutes at issue here are subject to strict scrutiny. … While the bans imposed pursuant to these statutes may be limited in duration, it cannot be overlooked that the statutes strip peaceable, law abiding citizens of the right to arm themselves in defense of hearth and home, striking at the very core of the Second Amendment.”

Mack said, “Gun control through history produces one result: “Genocide.” Pratt warned that Washington’s strategy will accomplish nothing but creating vast new ranks of felons in America.
“No Guns For Negroes” was the largest and longest gun control experiment in tne United States. Result? Total failure of gun control laws in reducing crime. Factually, violent crime increases with increased restrictions placed on gun ownership imposed by the government.
There has been a long history of denying the Black community of the right to own guns.
The disarmament of responsible law abiding Blacks has resulted in their inability to defend themselves against the narco economy of their communities giving rise to the highest crime rates in the nation.
Gun Control does not work in reducing crime. 57% of criminals fear more an armed citizen than they do the police.
Furthermore, state and local governments cannot be held liable for any citizen harmed by criminals.
“… the constitution does not impose a duty on the state and local governments to protect the citizens from criminal harm.” – DeShaney vs. Winnebago County, 1989 U.S. Supreme Court

YES!
We must keep those manly men as sheriffs; and we must replace all the sissy sheriffs with real men!
You know, a County Sheriff is a very powerful peace officer. (S)he is the only elected Law Enforcement Officer in a State! The Sheriff can evict Federal LEO’s from his County. FBI, DHS, etc…
True! I think Sheriff Mack is correct: The Sheriffs are our last hope. I expect to post a video on my web site soon re a speech I gave where I mention this. Watch for it, 1st Sgt.!
It is time that everyone who frequents this blog to consider joining the Shefiff’s Reserve in their respective County or Parrish. It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, physically fit, a good shot, or have any other particular skill set. What does matter is a profession of support should the Sheriff require it.
You are so right! The County Sheriffs really are our last hope.
In Tennessee, our sheriffs have statutory authority to appoint as many as they want to be in their posse. If our State legislatures are going to refuse to be manly men and defend us from the feds, then our Sheriffs must do it.
Can Obama issue an executive order taking our guns, or could this be done only by amending the Constitution?
Every power the President lawfully has is listed (“enumerated”) in the Constitution. His lawful powers are few, limited and defined. http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/the-presidents-enumerated-powers-rulemaking-by-executive-agencies-executive-orders/
The Constitution does NOT grant to the President power to take away our guns.
The President may not lawfully make an executive order taking away our guns.
Furthermore, CONGRESS has no lawful authority to take away our guns. The powers of Congress are also “enumerated” – listed in the Constitution. Nothing in the Constitution authorizes Congress to make a law taking away our guns. http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/congress-enumerated-powers/
Now look at the Second Amendment: That prohibits the federal government from in any way infringing our rights to keep and bear arms. “Militia” always meant the Citizens. These were the farmers, shopkeepers, blacksmiths, etc. who fought for us in the American War for Independence.
So, NO ONE in the federal government has authority to take away our guns, to restrict our rights to keep and bear arms in any way, to restrict or control or regulate ammunition, etc. When they do this anyway, they are acting unlawfully, and it is our obligation to resist them.
The States should and must NULLIFY any act of Congress, any executive order of the president, and any decision of the supreme court which pretends to restrict – in any way – our Right to keep and bear arms.
If the States are too cowardly or leftist to Nullify any act of the federal government restricting our rights to keep and bear arms, then WE THE PEOPLE on an individual basis, must refuse to submit. Once a government disarms the People, MASS MURDER, CONCENTRATION CAMPS, AND GAS CHAMBERS are in the near future. One of the first things Hitler did was to BAN GUNS!
If obama issues an executive order which pretends to ban our guns, or restrict them in any way, he will be acting unlawfully and the STATES and The People should nullify his acts by refusing to comply.
As an aging Retired Army fellow I am continually amazed at just how creative and ddetermined certain people in elected office can be in their never-ending quest to disarm the citizens of this Nation. To make the citizens helpless against aggression can only be rationalized as an attempt to enslave us.
Frankly, if the vast majority of us carried concealed weapons, without license or permit from our oppressive government agencies, we would be a much safer society. The crime rate would drop dramatically if these hoodlums and thieves thought that any potential victim may present them with their demise. I won’t even bother to explain how I feel about the many levels of corrupt government exist from the lowest community level to the highest office in the land.
May God keep his eyes open on our Nation…
If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
Except they are not geniuses – they are ignorant morons.
The dirty secret is that you do not have to be smart and knowledgeable to graduate from law school. All you need to do is regurgitate the statism your professors fed you.
I have never come across a single one of them who can think.
The Geniuses to which I refer are certainly not our current crop of Nitwits. I menat those that created this Nation in is’ original condition.
