RE: Patriotism, an Abomination
Well, thanks for helping to inspire an upcoming article. You do what so many people do, lumping together a bunch of individuals as "the Founders," lumping their ideas together, lumping their actions together, and as a result, mixing the advocacy of FREEDOM with the advocacy of authoritarian CONTROL, and ending up with an emotional, inaccurate mess of mythology. The funny thing is, I agree with almost everything in the first half of your article (about the Revolution). The problem is that you think the Constitution was a continuation of that revolution, instead of a BETRAYAL of it. Anyway, my article should follow in a day or two.
I think you misunderstood me. I never said anything about the Constitution in my article. To be perfectly honest I think that for the most part, most of it past the Preamble and the Bill of Rights is completely unnecessary and the beginning of where everything went wrong. But you are right. That is a discussion for another post and I welcome the debate so I am looking forward to your post.
Cheers =)
