Constitutional Hopscotch

This evident attempt to trash the United States Constitution in favor of some sort of vague international system run by multibillionaires and other oligarchs is getting beyond irritating.  Hoping no one would notice, our beloved Hillary has now signed an international treaty that promises the world that all weapons in private hands in this country will be taken away.  Never mind what the Bill of Rights says; it is trumped by our new global focus.

Leaving aside the mind-boggling difficulties involved in taking all the weapons away from their owners in this country, and the fact that it could well lead to a civil war with multiple thousands of casualties on both sides, this matter of playing fast and loose with the system that made this the greatest society in the history of the world is getting a lot of us down.

Maybe not enough of us yet, though.

The crass hypocrisy involved in our leaders’ saying their concept is that of “the living Constitution” when they really mean that in their hands the Constitution is dying is, frankly, nauseating.  How many members of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group have stated publicly over the decades that the Constitution is outmoded, inadequate, antiquated, etc.?

The fact is that it’s far more adequate than any of the alternatives these people and organizations are proposing, which are enough to chill the blood of any lucid observer.  Their New World Order looks to a lot of us more like the New World Chaos, and a lot of the people who plan to impose it on us have the morals of a pit viper.

Trashing the United States Constitution because it’s “outmoded” is like sinking your ship because you feel you can swim the Atlantic unaided.

Change is emphatically not good when it’s analogous to a cancer patient’s abandoning chemotherapy in favor of taking five sips of cyanide per day.
