Hillsdale “College” writes:
Enroll today in Hillsdale’s most popular free online course, “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution.”  In this 12-lecture course, you’ll explore the design and purpose of the Constitution, the challenges it faced during the Civil War, and how it has been undermined for more than a century by progressivism and liberalism.

Do you suppose, for a minute, that I want some ultra-right-wing “college” to tell me how I should regard the Constitution? What a sick joke.

I don’t want to hear from the John Birch Society, nor the Heartland Institute, nor the KKK, to lecture me on the meaning of the Constitution.

Jim Meskimen, the fellow quoted at left, is among the brightest and most talented people I’ve ever met, but I take issue with what he says here.

When one’s native country has become beset by a criminal sociopath in the position of leadership, responsible, high-integrity people become politically active, and do anything in their power to remove this cancer before it destroys us.

Ever since I was a small boy, I wondered:

What makes a loving God wrathful?

Why would He be pissed at nonbelievers?

Since He gave us intelligence, shouldn’t He be fine with people who simply didn’t see enough evidence to believe that He exists?

We’ve become a nation of morons–the only people who could possibly accept what this criminal lunatic is claiming.

Investors need to believe that the future of transportation is in internal combustion engines powered by fossil fuels.

Highly unlikely.

What I find most remarkable is how stupid and gullible the average American is.

It wasn’t always like this.

My personal reaction to Trump flags is more of pity than offense.  Life is tough enough without being deprived of a moral compass and even a meager level of intelligence.

In any case, we see such displays in ever-decreasing numbers, as Trump’s approval rating continues to fall, due to the president’s cognitive decline and brazen criminality.

One of the many unique and disgusting features of today’s GOP is that they don’t back down when they make a mistake, regardless of how obvious and indefensible that mistake may be.

To paraphrase the late American historian Howard Zinn:

If you’re, say, Norway, and you don’t go around the world starting wars, patriotism and a sense of national pride is not a problem.  If you’re the United States, with your imperialism and incredible military might, it’s a huge problem.  

At left we see the ideas of two other historian/philosophers on the subject.

One has to wonder how much more gas Trump has in the tank when he calls those who disapprove of him (especially blacks and women) “low IQ.”

Aren’t we approaching a point when this type of stupidity will cease to be effective?

There must be a bottom of the pit we’ve fallen into.
