The Constitution of the United States of America
With our current government , I decided to read the Constitution at its inception (which I haven't done in quite a while) and compare it with today.
Here it is: http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm |

Thanks islandgal for the link. It is a straightforward document that spells out the principles of liberty and freedom. The restrictions on the powers of a central federal government are evident. Even keeping balance in the federal government is an elementary tool for governance by the people on the local level.
Thomas Sowell has a recent op/ed about the US Constitution and how some Americans are dismantling our country to a point of no return. http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...-thomas-sowell Have you read The Federalist Papers? http://www.foundingfathers.info/federalistpapers/ |

Yes and No
No, The Constitution is not political because it is for ALL parties and citizens to know.
Yes The link should not be in this thread. |

I placed the Constitution purposely for all to see because many posters have said they dare not go into the political forum.
The point was for all to see. Where else would you suggest? How quickly we get off the subject. |

You are absolutely correct, and people who make a political ballyhoo out our Constitution do an injustice to it. |

Perhaps, as another reply suggested, you had omitted your opening line "With our current government" the thread would have at least started out neutral.

Thanks Pats2010,
Out of 9 posts, only 3 have responded to subject of the post. The Constitution of the United States of America. Just thought some might want to just sit back and refresh themselves on it. Guess not. |

The Thomas Sowell op/ed I linked gives views on cultural and social issues, not politics. Sowell, among many other achievements, is a highly recognized economist and intellectual thinker. One of the great minds of our generation. |

Would it have been interesting if our Founding Father's had blogged the Federalist Papers? Alexander Hamilton's blog. LOL
