A J Rice has a very good piece about how Montpelier, the home of James Madison, Father of our Constitution and fourth president, has been transformed into a tool of Marxist propaganda
At Montpelier, the home of James Madison, a massive political reeducation effort financed by leftist billionaire David Rubenstein has made it “All About Slavery, All of the Time.” Madison’s role as the key architect of the Constitution and defender of its provisions in the Federalist Papers is given little attention.
The race hustlers on the board in charge of the fourth president’s home have proposed a national slavery monument on the foundings father’s plantation.
His home serves as the housing for what amounts to a “one-hour Critical Race Theory disguised as a tour,” said one disappointed visitor. “I was kind of thinking we’d be hearing more about the Constitution,” said another. “But everything here is about slavery.”
AH yes, the wonders of Critical Race Theory, funded by reprobates like David Rubenstein teaches that America, its founding, its founders, and its history are nothing but WHITE SUPREMACY! Of course this is a fallacious position for the left to take, but Marxism must feed its propaganda machine.
AJ Rice, writes a piece that presents an argument that paints our Constitution in real terms. No Marxist spin, no race baiting, none of that. Rice makes the very real point that the Constitution, and people like Madison are, TODAY, a beacon that still draws freedom seekers.
It is the reason why refugees from Ethiopia and Uganda and the “Democratic” Republic of the Congo come to this country and why few, if any, American blacks have any interest in relocating to places like Ethiopia and Uganda and the “Democratic” Republic of the Congo—where everyone is a de facto slave. Because in those countries the government is unrestrained. There is no Constitution worthy of the name. Only the arbitrary authority of the ruling junta or Maximum Leader—though the latter is now often referred to as “president,” a term used by the founders to signify an entirely different kind of office.
The U.S. Constitution was itself not only entirely different, it was unprecedented. For the first time in history, the rights of the people in relation to the government were codified. Was it perfect? Of course not. But it contained within it the mechanism of continuous, orderly improvement—exactly as Madison intended. That is a story of far deeper, more profound significance than the fact that Madison owned slaves. The descendants of James Madison should tell the country you’re welcome.
BRAVO SIR! Eloquently spoken, and 100% correct! I have long argued that our Founders understood that the faults of the late 18-the Century could, and yes would be addressed with, as Rice writes, mechanism of continuous, orderly improvement by future generations. And, as any honest person will attest, that IS what happened.
The Left can offer no refutation to that. All they can offer is the absurd claims that there have been no positive changes in America. They continue to lie about our history, and our present for that matter. The “faults in America” they rant about are no more, but, improving America was never their aim. Erasing it, and erasing its founders, heroes, iconic figures, economic system is, and always has been the true goal. The reason they have such a goal is simple.
The Left loathes history’s Madison’s, Franklin’s, Henry’s Jefferson’s and Washington’s. The left does not believe what these men believed. The left’s idols have different names, and are, in fact, the polar opposites of our founders. Their icons are, Engels, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Che.
