Old Dead White Men

May 9, 2007

All to often, the phrase “Just a bunch of Old Dead White Men” enters into the political and historic debate. It often takes the form of  the concept of the “Living Constitution.” Which is something that I simply detest. The Constitution simply never died. It’s DNA never has changed, only the meaning has been changed to suit to people of the times. In direct confrontation of the principles enshrined within the founding documents. Be that reading something into those writings, or saying that the founders never foresaw what happens in this day and or age.

Well guess what? Those old men were a lot brighter than most people give them credit for. The ideology of liberty and freedom always remains the same. Our friends over at “The Patriot Post” have once again blazed a trail in understanding just what thought went into making the final drafts. Specifically they have updated the Federalist Papers. The originals are also available for side by side comparison.

Available at http://patriotpost.us/histdocs/inotherwords/ I urge any and all to peruse what is there.
