The narrative that the Capitol protest was a “deadly insurrection” is falling apart (Page 92/110)

So in addition to you being a big fan of anarchy and lawlessness you also have absolutely no knowledge of the United States Constitution, and in specific Article III, Section 2 and the 6th Amendment.

It's now abundantly apparent that we've arrived at the point where you have amply demonstrated that you have neither the basic intellectual capacity or the cognitive ability to engage in a coherent and productive discussion with normal, rational, people.

You may resume your babbling, weird "haiku".

Leftists gotta Leftist




funny coming from a rumper
you are saying the law is supreme over the will of the people

and a jury is NOT a protection against bad laws and evil officials
as they must always follow bad laws and evil officials

sounds like something putin would like to control people
once he got his rubber stamp duma to pass his laws
they MUST BE FOLLOWED

but thankfully NOT how our system works
AND THE FACT THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS REVEALING

It is your right to be judged by a jury of your peers. You can turn it down and go before a judge. But the state can not take that right away from you.

I typed this slow and used large Comic font as I know you sometimes have trouble.

. . . the conservative abhors all forms of ideology. An abstract rigorous set of political dogmata: that is ideology, a "political religion," promising the Terrestrial Paradise to the faithful; and ordinarily, that paradise is to be taken by storm. Such a priori designs for perfecting human nature and society are anathema to the conservative, who knows them for the tools and the weapons of coffeehouse fanatics.

Are there any "coffeehouse fanatics" on display here, in the conversation that is this forum topic or thread..? Hold that thought.

For the conservative, custom, convention, constitution, and prescription are the sources of a tolerable civil social order. Men not being angels, a terrestrial paradise cannot be contrived by metaphysical enthusiasts; yet an earthly hell can be arranged readily enough by ideologues of one stamp or another. Precisely that has come to pass in a great part of the world, during the twentieth century.

Those are the words of Russell Kirk, in his "Foreword to the Seventh Revised Edition of The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot." Words that were copyrighted in 1953.

I went and found this online, to follow up on something that was aired much earlier today on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Prior to that moment, I wouldn't have known Russell Kirk "from Adam."

Lights, camera, action . . .

I wouldn't call the forum member who goes by the screen name of ray b a "coffeehouse fanatic", in the way that Russell Kirk wanted that to be taken. No. That would be someone else. Some other forum member who could well be described as a "coffeehouse fanatic" of the kind that Russell Kirk had in mind, when he wrote that paragraph.
