Why Do Liberal’s Think the Constitution is a Living Document?

It’s been said the Constitution is a living breathing document that is open to different interpretation’s by different generation’s as the time’s change in America.

Therefore, you can find a “right to privacy” in the 1970’s, when there wasn’t that right before then. You can find that the “right to gay marriage” exists now, where before it would have been unheard of to even suggest it.

Why have amendments at all, if you can just change it as you go along, without any voting by anyone? Clearly, the reason for amendments and for them being very hard to ratify is because our founders wanted it to be very hard to add or subtract from that document.

They expected it to be a bedrock of our nation, not a sea of ever changing quicksand. They wanted it to be the same 200 years from it’s inception as it was the day they all ratified it. I truly believe our founders would be mortified at the way liberal judges make policy out of whole cloth and ignore the Constitution altogether.

How have the American people not risen in revolt to the usurpation of the Constitution? Well, it lies in the insidious nature of the left’s ability to indoctrinate. It starts in the schools. Communist and leftist leaders have long known the way to win people over is to get to them when they are young.

Stalin said, “Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” He knew that the bedrock of his communist country was being built in the school houses of the USSR.

The left here knew this too. The left began by winning school board elections, and thereby setting the school districts agendas. Republicans used to win the big election, the presidency, but wasn’t as involved in small elections, but I submit those elections are every bit as critical to why we are the nation we are now, as the presidency.

The left meanwhile, has implemented curriculum that has less and less to do with our founders and more and more to do with “diversity”. Meaning, they don’t want to teach our kids about the dead white guys any longer, they want to teach them about the contributions of blacks, Indians, Orientals, etc. to the nation.

That’s all fine, but if we don’t talk about those dead white guys, then we don’t talk about the thing’s those dead white guys did, like writing the Constitution. So kids don’t know our founding documents, or why the founders had certain ideas about freedom, and independence.

If we don’t know why the founders held hard to certain truths as they saw them, then it’s no big deal to change those truths over time. No one even knows they’ve been changed!

So what to do? Well, I would say, get involved in your school board elections. Start at the grassiest of the grass roots. It all starts there. Sarah Palin started there, and she’s done alright. If we can start taking back our school boards, we can start working toward rectifying the damage that has been done to our Republic.

If we sit back and do nothing, and expect things to change, we are fools. As a nation, every day we move to the left. It is up to us, to actually DO something to stem that tide, and get things moving back to the right.
