Fred Reed does a Mark Twain/H.L. Mencken shtick and does it pretty well. From Reed at fredoneverything.org:
Freedom of expression, as distinct from speech. Fred, Grand Klarified Klingle of Los Cucu Clan, with severe visual problems, but still dangerous. Regalia by Violeta, of used typing paper. Probably a fire hazard. Obsidian knife shows ethnic sensitivity.
Today we will have luminous insights in small dollops. They will doubtless spur the formation of new university departments and restructuring of governments, preferably by the salutary application of a guillotine.
Why we should scrap the constitution. Or admit that we already have.
The Constitution says nothing about freedom of expression. It says freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means that I can say that Biden is a horse’s ass. Freedom of expression means that I can march in KKK robes with thirty of the like-minded through black or Jewish neighborhoods or, at least in San Francisco, defecate on the American flag. In practice of course speech is tightly controlled by the press and social media which in practice are organs of the government.
The Constitution says nothing about separation of church and state. It says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Understanding this requires a grasp of history which the schools make sure that few have. The Foundering Fathers most assuredly did not intend the Constitution to forbid a nativity scene on a town square in Alabama, and for two centuries it never occurred to anyone that it might.
Muh constootushun (h/t-Savage) was scrapped back in 1964 under LBJ of the CPUSA.
How about that Great Society, yes we can!
Forward!
lincoln started the ball rolling in the direction we are heading. then came t. roosevelt, w. wilson, fdr, lbj and every potus, R or D, since lbj.
with ‘leaders’ as these, we certainly need no enemies. our biggest enemies have been and remain among us.
