"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves, according to the Ten Commandments of God". James Madison
And one of the 10 commandments says “Thou Shalt Not Steal” and yet most everyone is willing to violate that commandment by voting for people that steal. And for voting for taxes that steal. The simplicity laid out in The Law by Frederic Bastiat in 1850 should be understood by everyone by the time they are six. But nooooo…we send our children off to schools supported by STOLEN money, and teach them how to be good THIEVES by voting to put men in power who STEAL as their main source of income.
And, as prescient as our founders were, the Constitution has failed to restrain government the way we think it was intended, and the Anti-Federalist saw it coming. So, we can argue that we don’t follow the Constitution (duh), but in countless essays in the “Anti-Federalist” Papers, they warned us repeatedly that creating a central government would become too big, too corrupt, would create forever wars and cause national division because of our vast size. The sooner we all acknowledge this, the sooner we can figure out a better way for our children and their children and future generations.
The Constitution was to protect us from the tyranny of the majority, but what about the tyranny of the minority – as in corporatocracy/oligarchy that “rules” us now?
What if we could revise Article II to be a diplomatic post, representing delegates chosen by state legislatures and delete Article III and create a 50 state justice tribunal system to address any intrastate issues and use Thomas Jefferson’s idea, “My general plan would be to make the states one as to every thing connected with foreign nations, and several as to every thing purely domestic.” That would be real Federalism. Bonus is that we would have no federal elections! https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/a-modest-proposal-part-iii-what-were?r=76q58
“A Farmer” discusses 18th century “newspeak” of the term “Anti-Federalist” in Anti-Federalist #3 “:…The term federalist is therefore improperly applied to themselves, by the friends and supporters of the proposed constitution. This abuse of language does not help the cause; every degree of imposition serves only to irritate but can never convince. They are national men, and their opponents, or at least a great majority of them, are federal, in the only true and strict sense of the word.”
So, the Federalists were really nationalists and the “Anti-Federalists” were the Real Federalists but they are forever regulated in history as the “anti-constitution” people = bad.
Please don’t forget that we OWE our cherished Bill of Rights to the so-called “Anti-Federalists.” In Federalist # 84, Alexander Hamilton said that a “bill of rights is not only unnecessary… but dangerous.” Get in the Ring, Alexander Hamilton! https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/get-in-the-ring-thomas-jefferson?r=76q58
Great response. What it all boils down to is that throughout history, psychopaths' have gravitated towards position of power. This time in history is no different. If anything it’s the worse it has ever been because they have access to modern technology that would make a medieval warrior spell bound. The convince the masses to support their insanity and make you feel as if you’re not normal if you don’t. They gravitate towards positions of law enforcement, judicial positions, “law makers”…ANYWHERE they can have undue influence over the people in that area. IU think this sums it up Liz… https://www.courageouslion.us/p/problem-psychopathic-control-freaks

Gods also hates liars... Proverbs 6:16–19
It is all about what the lie is. Not all lies are hated by God.
