    Some people look to movie stars and sports players as heros. My heros are historians who expose the establishment historians who lie. Thomas DiLorenzo is a hero.

    My comment about Lincoln was censored. And all I said was that Lincoln ended limited government when he declared war on the South and the Constitution.

    To say the Constitution has no fixed meaning is tantamount to saying we have no Constitution at all. What good is a constitution if the very people that it was written to limit can define their own powers. Don't remember who said it but a good point.

    The Constitution is a "living Constitution" if and only if it's amended to reflect any new interpretations or needs, and if government actually follows it rather than just interprets it by "reading between the lines."

      “There is nothing there”😂 the Supreme Court has taken powers it was not given. Acting as legislators who then use their judicial authority to enact the regulations or amendments to the Constitution. Tyranny that is allowed by all department heads, presidents, senators, congress member, lobbyist, major institutions like MIT, Harvard and Stanford.

    I have a photo of that very churchyard Tom spoke of where Hamilton is buried and in that photo there is the headstone of Mary Miles, wife of James Miles who died on September 11, 1796 at the age of 36. I took that photo on or around September 11, 2010. I had NO idea Hamilton was buried in that church graveyard! If I had known I would have looked for his grave and spat on it!

    Slavery had to be Constitutional since it existed and was practiced by those who drafted it. And it has clear clauses about how to count them for representation terms. And SCOTUS backed that up with repeated rulings about returning slaves, etc. That's also why Lincoln was wrong to attack the south for leaving the union when it wasn't yet illegal to do slavery.

    • @mikeb5372
      @mikeb5372 5 месяцев назад

      It was the south that attacked the north
      Also, slavery wasn't the pretext for the war. The issue of slavery came later as a reason to continue waging the war
