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?
 
 
 
 
 
      
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...
        | Our  little chat with James Madison... |  
 
 
                                  
                                    | 
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.
 
 
 
 
                                
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.

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.
 
 
 
 
                      
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.
                        | Even a money-back guarantee 
 |  
 
 
                                
                                  | 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.
