There's
a lot of monkey business going on with the Constitution. We have
judges who think it's a "living document", free to interpret at their
"whim du jour" while other judges consult foreign countries for their
decisions. We have a president who decides which laws to enforce and
which ones to ignore. We have an attorney general
who thinks his job is suing the states when they enforce the laws.

Dear Fellow Conservative:
One of the scariest parts of the 44th President of the United
States is his penchant to play fast and loose with the Constitution.
Obama has quickly transformed the Executive Branch into a much more
powerful and secretive body than ever before. Lurking in the shadows
are troops of Czars and other government officials, often appointed on
Friday nights under the radar, who are not answerable to anybody but
Obama. So much for transparency!
Ironically, all this comes from a guy who claims to be a Constitutional Law expert. But is he an expert? Is he right?
Even more importantly, how would the Founding Fathers really
feel about all this? Did they give him these powers? Did they really
believe in the "Living Constitution" theory that's caused so much
titillation in liberal drawing rooms?
Our little chat with James Madison... |
Turns out we got the next best thing to James Madison himself. Brion McClahahan's book, The Founding Fathers Guide to the Constitution
has everything you want to know about our most important document, how
and why it was written and what our founders would think about the
highjinx going on today, including...
Did the Founding Fathers really believe the courts should "interpret" the laws?
Do we have the balance right between our three branches of government?
Are today's judges doing too much "legislating from the bench?"
Are states' rights being trampled by a federal power grab?
What happens when the executive branch refuses to enforce the laws?
So...should Obama be impeached?

All this, of course, is of paramount importance to us at Human Events. So we are making this "tell-all" book of the late 18th Century available to you, just for trying our Human Events
introductory offer. In an age when everybody
claims to have the inside track on what the Founding Fathers had on
their mind, it's high time to get to the real truth, once and for all.
Don't mistake this for just some faculty
lounge argument over a decaf café latte and a croissant. This is
serious. Using the Constitution as a cover, major changes are being made
in our government while sweeping court decisions are diminishing our
property rights, our personal lives and our freedom. Right in front of
our eyes!
This sort of insight is typical for Human Events.
We don't pull punches. We don't conduct opinion polls to generate
"news." Instead, we report to you what is happening and then dig even
deeper to bring you the necessary background insight.
Not surprisingly, we approach the world
from an unapologetically Conservative perspective. There are plenty of
other places to find liberal, progressive, socialist and even Marxist
perspective. Just turn on your TV if you want proof.
More than political sports reporting. |
This Constitutional mumbo-jumbo is the type of question that Human Events loves to tackle. Instead of joining the political sports reporters in handicappingthe next primary vote or "oohing and aahing" over the latest opinion poll turnaroundor bumper sticker phrase from focus-panel land,
Human Events goes to the heart of the matter, giving you an in depth adult analysis of what's really happening and what's really important.
Typical things we dig up under the rocks: |
The roots of Obama's hatred of capitalism and American society.
The cozy relationship between Obama, big business, unions, big education, and the environmental movement.
Obama's blatant pursuit of race based justice.
Our government's gagging of honest discussion about the threat of radical Islam.
The Detroit mess including
the uber-expensive Voltwagen, cash for clunkers, the screwing of
bond-holders and dealers in favor of the unions.
Solyndra and other enviro-crony adventures.

As an intelligent conservative reader, I imagine
that you are getting my "gist". And by now, you may have noticed the
plethora of subtle red buttons throughout my message. I want you to take
full advantage of our current benevolence and largess and subscribe to
Human Events
at the preposterously generous price of only $39.95 for 30
issues. This cost is so low, I don't know how we can afford the ink,
let alone felling the trees. But I'll leave those details to the
printing and lumberjack departments. But, suffice it to say, the
advantage here is all yours.
Even a money-back guarantee
|
Just in case you fall into some sort of
teleprompter induced liberal swoon during the next few months and decide
that we are being too critical of the president, we will even
guarantee your money back for any reason without even asking you what
we've done wrong.
A free gift as an incentive |
And, back to the subject of benevolence and largess, I will also throw in the
book in question, The Founding Fathers Guide to the Constitution by Brion McClanahan.
Time is of the essence. The next few months will be extremely dangerous
on your mental health. Imagine what $1 billion worth of "Yes we can!"
(or its 2012 equivalent) chanting will feel like without a sage, savvy
and irreverent conservative friend at your side. May I suggest our team
at Human Events as the solution to offer the necessary empathy,
commiseration and laughter as applicable. So please subscribe today. America needs you with us this year.
Sincerely,
Thomas S. Winter
Editor in Chief, Human Events
P.S. In addition to what you'll be getting from each and every issue of Human Events,
you'll also have that warm feeling inside that you are helping to
promote the cause by supporting our nation's leading conservative
publication since 1944. It was Ronald Reagan's favorite.
More importantly -- twenty years from now, when school children
wonder "what did my parents and grandparents do in the historic 2012
election?," you'll know that you stayed alert and well-informed and
helped keep the conservative intellectual fires burning by supporting Human Events. Enough said. Please take advantage of our generous offer right
now.

Superb. Thanx for the info and links, Oldironsides. How are you and your wife doing?
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking, Mrs.AL, My wife is still going down hill. We used to have some good days and some bad days but now the good days are fewer. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and it affects the caregivers just as much.
ReplyDeleteYes it does, Oldironsides. Trust you are taking care of yourself as well as the Mrs. I realize that may be a difficult balance to strike. You and your Mrs. continue in my prayers. Please keep us posted, sir.
