RE: Ron Paul - Frédéric Bastiat - Lysander Spooner .. On my political evolution

in #writing7 years ago

Hey Ive sat wand watched many people emerge from that bubble you were in.. I love the constitution, Ron Paul is all about the constitution.. Yet as Lysander Spooner states. The constitution isn't good enough to prevent crooked politicians from reinterpreting it. Its as close as we have to a perfect document. It failed to prevent the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex. all of the entangling alliances George Washington warned us against.. The constitution couldn't stop any of it, the shadow government JFK talked about. Bastiat taught me what a bad law was, spooner showed me how powerless the constitution really is to prevent bad laws. 150 years later Ron Paul is still bitching about all the same things haha
