Confusing Conservatives cont.

    Since it dawned on me in a flash of insight while trying to knock some sense into a Conservative that the Constitution was written for people who have to deal with the Constitution and not for you, I have to say I have been in a bit of a trance ever since wondering why I am apparently the American to see this. The only answer I can come up with is it happened because I am the most American American in America. That doesnt mean the other Americans, and you know who you are, are not Very American. No. All it means is that I have reached Perfection stage, is all. I am the Nirvana American. I am the Fully Realized American. That's all. And, no, I am not getting all puffed up about this, in fact it's kind of frustrating. I do not want to be alone here. I want all the other American Americans to be here with me. But (sniff) perhaps that is not to be. But not from my lack of trying to make it otherwise. I assure you. I will never give up. I am, after all, an American. Thank you. And fuck you all very much, and I really mean that, thank you.

A Book Review

I wrote a review on Amazon of a book "The Frozen Republic" - a book that makes a case for altering the constitution. altering it. not getting rid of it.

Customer Review

3.0 out of 5 stars The Constitution Rewrite, March 10, 2016
By 
This review is from: The Frozen Republic: How the Constitution Is Paralyzing Democracy (Paperback)
The Frozen Republic - which I enthusiastically picked up because I thought it was a Star Wars novel about an ice-bound planet - turned out to be an exhaustingly detailed report on the various utterances, opinions, statements, thoughts, desires, wishes, actions and consequences thereof of damn near every bureaucrat who ever cashed an American paycheck.
The justification of all this is to drive home the notion that the Constitution doesnt work.
Any writer who signs his name to such a premise has my admiration for courage.
My admiration, and my stamina, flagged, however, as I went from page to mind-numbing page in a long winding journey through American history. A history, in the view of the historian, created by bureaucrats. Not by normal people who are stuck with obeying bureaucrats. History is, after all, the history of the collective and the governments ordering each collective around.
My experience has been that when dealing with the premises of a collectivist - which everyone seems to be - you are never going to get to a solution to whatever particular problem the collectivist is having a problem with.
Moving along here, the solution offered to solve the problem of the failed Constitution is to change the Constitution. Not get rid of it, but rewrite it; probably by bureaucrats now living rather than the original bureaucrats who wrote the one we have now, since they are dead. Even so, despite being deceased, they could not write a worse one now - the Founding Fathers - than they did originally when they were alive. In my opinion. Perhaps the author himself has created a rough draft of a new Constitution, I suspect he is certainly up to it, and maybe that would be the one to get the job done, whatever the job is that needs to be done, which, apparently, is create a different Constitution. Every nation now seems to have one, thanks to us, and I think all would agree they are all doing very very well and they are all tons of fun to visit. Maybe we could use one of theirs.
If the book accomplishes anything, it presents a strong, lengthy, ongoing, relentless, almost enthusiastically infinite litany of times when the original words of the Constitution were interpreted or ignored to get resolved some particular political collectivist "problem." Which, as I mentioned earlier, cannot be solved by collectivism. So, therefore, if you are one of those people - a Conservative - who thinks the Constitution is Holy Writ rather than the badly-written juggernaut of edicts and commands and directives and proclamations that it actually is...you might have your faith shaken. However if you are a Conservative you will have thrown this book into the fire long long long before you finish reading it. Because to you the Constitution - which you likely have never read - and with good reason! - is a magical deity of ink on parchment written by experts in good standing in the creation of nations with tons of experience at it before they created the United States of America out of thin air.
What the author fails to realize - I'm guessing - is that the Constitution was not written for you. It was written for the bureaucrats it was creating. They deal with it, they operate under it, they were created by it...it's for them. Not you. the "We the people" mentioned in the opening edict are the three dozen or so bureaucrats who signed it. You are not one of them. Hold on, let me check, I could be lying. Nope, you're not there. Since it is written for people whose jobs were created by it...they all seem to be doing rather well by the Constitution, and very few of them have experienced a lack of job security, no matter how the Constitution gets interpreted by the interpreters and judged by the judges. Why change it?
Well, unless I misread the author it needs to be changed so that there can be more "democracy. "Democracy," like "constitution" is a sacred word that does not have a bad connotation within it. Democracy, like constitutions, are inherently good by definition. To a collectivist, collectivism works best when the entire collective is somehow involved down to a man. In other words, we are put here on earth to be political beings in a swarm. Not individuals trying to live life as comfortably as possible with stuff. Stuff never created by bureaucrats but by "stuff makers." Needless to say Capitalism is not discussed. Capitalists are not elected. Nor are they mentioned in the Constitution. Only bureaucrats are mentioned in the Constitution.
If you love government and think it should be magically run by The Entire Population Directly rather than by "representatives," this is the book for you. It will guide you on your way to a better and more effective magical Constitution than the Magical Constitution created oh so long ago. You see, we're better at constitution-writing than we were. Constitution writing has advanced over the centuries. We could create a really good one now. And lord knows you can't live without one. The sky would fall and you?....you would turn into a rampaging looter and murderer without one. Assuming you lived through the falling sky incident

How To Baffle A Conservative

    Conservatives are the ones who complain that the Constitution is being ignored, overridden, debauched, slighted, hacked-away....a million things are being done to it that are "not right." Whenever a law comes into being from out of the vapor that they don't like...someone is playing around with the Constitution. Keep in mind that these are people who have never so much as read the Constitution. But they somehow know that it is being fucked with. How do they know this?....because they are Conservatives. Conservatives are defined as the people who say the Constitution is being fucked with. Who is fucking with it?....people who have actually read it: bureaucrats. The people who have read it and actually know what it says are the ones fucking with it. Now, the bureaucrat might say to the Conservative "I am not fucking with it. I am working within it's confines and parameters and allowances and directions." The Conservative - who has never held office or gone to law school or worked in the public bureaucratic sector or even read the Constitution will insist that, no, "You, Senyore Bureaucrat, are fucking with it."
    Now, I am not a bureaucrat. But if I was, I would say to the Conservative at this point, "The Constitution was written for me: not for you. I have to work with it. I have to interpret it. I have to implement it. You on the other hand don't do anything with the Constitution except defend it. Even though you don't know what it says. If you opened it up and read it and it said "I fucked your mom" you would defend it. Because it's the Constitution. You don't really care what it says because you are going to defend it no matter what it says. Which is fine. But I have to work with it. So fuck you. Leave me alone, and quit whining about something you do not understand and are too lazy to actually personally investigate. Asshole." This is what I would say to a Conservative if I was a bureaucrat. In fact is, I am not a bureaucrat and I already say a lot of it to the sons o' bitches.
   The bureaucrat of course would be right: the Constitution was not written for you. It was written for office holders and judges and cops and aldermen, whatever those are, and lawyers and justices of the peace and clerks at the hall of records and anyone else who can tell a cop to arrest you and the cop won't even bother to ask them why. Because they are buds and allies. And they know it. These are the people the Constitution was written for because it CREATED them. The Constitution did not create you. It created your masters. That is why these public sector jobs are so coveted: because the people in them are protected by the Constitution because the Constitution brought them into being. And if they can rewrite it and you will nonetheless keep defending it no matter how much they rewrite it and tweak it - or even if they dont - you will defend the Constitution and spend all your yelling on the people the Constitution brought into being. So in other words you are defending a deity. Made of paper. Basically.
    In the Christian universe this is called paganism.
    Good job, heathen. We need more of you morons.

The Constitution's One Actual Impressive Achievement

   How the Constitution manages to present it's true identity in plain English, albeit the King's, and simultaneously manages to deceive all its readers into thinking it has a different identity....is clearly a tribute to its - apparently - magical properties. I mean there is an insistent legion of people who insist the Masons are All Kinds Of Sorcerers. I think they're just all kinds of homosexuals and too-into-it cosplayers, but this one aspect of the Consitution does in fact almost make me want to applaud it. I mean, let's face it, it's getting the job done: it's a artery-clogging morass of proclaimed bilge and there ain't a red-blooded American Redneck and even a few "Constitutional Scholars" who are convinced it is a Nobel Prize-winning piece of dynamic and brilliant social science. I mean, it's doing something right.

you and the consitution

the problem with you saying that we are not following the constitution and the supreme court saying that we are......is that the constitution doest care what you say. it only cares what the supreme court says. cause the constitution created the supreme court. it didnt create you. you might want to ponder that for a while and maybe eventually the little light will go on that you and the constitution are never going to be in lockstep. but it will always be in lockstep with the supreme court. and the congress.which it also created. and the president. which it also created. as for you? you can look all day long and never find your name mentioned anywhere in the constitution.

Fact of the Day

if we actually had rights there would be no arrests, there would be no courts, there would be no jails, there would be no cops and there would be no State. you cannot have rights and have government. they are contradictory concepts. and contradictions cannot exist. only one or the other can exist at any one time. this seems complicated and weird and crazy to virtually everyone. which i why i have a very low opinion of virtually everyone.

The Theory of the Constitution

   The Constitution was created under the theory that goes like this: this is what was going on inside the "founding fathers'" heads;
   "Let us create a free nation. And to ensure it's continued existence let's create a coercive ruling entity that will force it to come about and will force it to endure."
   This kind of thinking is called "stupid thinking." It is thinking that is stupid. John Wayne once said there is no cure for stupid. Apparently that is true because the Constitution is still going strong and every day the noose draws tighter and tighter and tighter. At the moment the only apparently free person in American is America's President, Barack Obama. He is in many circles routinely called a dictator. He does what he wants, to whoever he wants, whenever he wants and as often as he wants. Everyone else who does that goes to jail.
   It is the Constitution that has made this happen. Obama didn't put himself where he is and he certainly isnt there because he's good at anything other than fucking things up. No, the Constitution opened up that position for him and he ran in and filled it and he seems to be quite comfortable at the post. Because it's a post created for a subhuman sociopathic monstrosity. And Obama was the most qualified in American to fit that slot. And so there he is. And the Constitution did it. And Americans think that that's just swell!
