So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interests of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this, as regards Virginia especially, that I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and have suffered all I have suffered, to have this object attained.

Robert E. Lee

Why Madison and our Constitution are so very special

0 0
Read Time:3 Minute, 9 Second

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.

Billie Jean King triumphs in Battle of the Sexes

1973, in a highly publicized “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match, top women’s player Billie Jean King, 29, beats Bobby Riggs, 55, a former No. 1 ranked men’s player. Riggs (1918-1995), a self-proclaimed male chauvinist, had boasted that women were inferior, that they couldn’t handle the pressure of the game and that even at his age he could beat any female player. The match was a huge media event, witnessed in person by over 30,000 spectators at the Houston Astrodome and by another 50 million TV viewers worldwide.

2011- Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is repealed

1988- Greg Louganis wins gold medal day after suffering head injury

At the Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea on September 20, 1988, American diver Greg Louganis wins the gold medal on the springboard despite nearly knocking himself unconscious during a qualifying round dive. With the improbable victory, Louganis—who won gold medals in the 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles—becomes the first man to win back-to-back gold medals in both events, solidifying his claim as the greatest diver ever.

1565- First European battle on American soil

Most of those killed were massacred on the order of Aviles, who allegedly had the slain hanged on trees beside the inscription “Not as Frenchmen, but as heretics.” Laudonniere and some 40 other Huguenots escaped.

2012- Amish convicted in beard-cutting attacks

1845 Suspected Christian spy is murdered

Phineas Wilcox is stabbed to death by fellow members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois, because he is believed to be a Christian spy.

1620 Mayflower departs England

However, stormy weather and navigational errors forced the Mayflower off course, and on November 21 the “Pilgrims” reached Massachusetts, where they founded the first permanent European settlement in New England in late December.

1810- Mexican War of Independence begins

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, launches the Mexican War of Independence with the issuing of his Grito de Dolores, or “Cry of Dolores.” The revolutionary tract, so-named because it was publicly read by Hidalgo in the town of Dolores, called for the end of 300 years of Spanish rule in Mexico, redistribution of land and racial equality. Thousands of Indians and mestizos flocked to Hidalgo’s banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and soon the peasant army was on the march to Mexico City.

1893– Settlers race to claim land in Oklahoma

On September 16, 1893, the largest land run in history begins with more than 100,000 people pouring into the Cherokee Strip of Oklahoma to claim valuable land that had once belonged to Native Americans. With a single shot from a pistol the mad dash began, and land-hungry pioneers on horseback and in carriages raced forward to stake their claims to the best acres.
