As a chil...This makes me think of a couple things. As a child, my father stressed the importance of telling the Truth, to the point that it seemed to be the only thing that really mattered. Hmmm. Also, how we're led to believe that normal humans such as ourselves can't possibly hope to infer the TRUE meaning of the Constitution...it requires politicians and legal scientists to do that. More accurately, politicians and legal scientists who are CURRENTLY IN CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE.<br /><br />And finally, when we have political correctness, public image, and two parties who are like two sides of the same coin, does it even really MATTER what the Truth is, when it's described to us by the narrators? In this case, we have the people, who know the difference between right and wrong, and who understand what the Constitution means, and then we have the political class, who wrangle over semantics to tell us that these things are NOT what we think they are, but they'll get it straightened out and implemented according to their interpretation. "Living Constitution" and all that. Just punch the ballot, and they'll take care of the rest.<br /><br />In fact, it seems that because approximately half of America is unwilling or unable to admit the Truth, the other half is unwilling or unable to stand up for it, and the politicians have insulated themselves against any sort of dissent and are currently adrift in the sea of rhetoric and entitlement, the truth pretty much IS what we're told it is. That's why our borders have become glorified welcome mats, thousands of babies are murdered every day, mental illness has become not mental illness under penalty, the government has a monopoly on violence, healthcare is a right but private property is a privilege, etc.<br /><br />Those of us who recognize the Truth will slowly fade away, those who recognize the "truth" will become the overwhelming majority, bread and circuses will be distributed as long as necessary, and the political irons will be fastened to ensure that it never changes. It's a brilliant plan, in fact. We'll never feel it. We know what's happening, we know why it's wrong, we gird against it, each and every one of us, ready for That Day, which will never arrive. We will lay on our deathbeds, wondering where we went wrong, and the small flames will be extinguished, one by one, twilight slowly fading, until there is only darkness. When did it happen?
