You cherry picked, ignoring the word “people’s” which is collective as opposed to the founders using people which is singular and completely ignoring the part about “a well regulated M*****a” which is met by the national guard.

If someone eventually made a film called "Kevyn's America," it would be billed as "A dark horror comedy of sheer pandemonium depicting a society in which only the roving packs of sadistic, murderous marauding MS-13 criminals are armed, the police arrest only those who disagree with Kevyn, there are no borders and nobody is employed because all employers have long been taxed and regulated into fleeing the country. There is no money left in the Treasury because no one has a taxable income and there is no electricity because the only methods of powering our cities have been deemed "culprits of c*****e c****e" and the people are going hungry because they've long ago eaten their pets and all the animals in the zoo, all pigeons and squirrels from public parks and all the grass from every lawn... They are now beginning the cannibalism phase. All sidewalks are "paved" in human feces and old syringes, the military dispersed long ago due to a total lack of funding but not even Trinidad would invade the country because it's become a no man's land of pure misery.

Kevyn's America, coming to a theatre near you."

In today's ultra polarized political climate, all we hear from are the left and right wings. I have asked this question many times over the years - left or right of what? The common answer is; left or right of center. All right, let's assume that this is the correct answer...............where is the center?

The common explanation of exactly what or where the center is located, is "somewhere between the two wings". That sounds logical...................but it's wrong. If that explanation were true, then the center has wandered, and is wandering, all over the place. Despite the efforts of both wings to d**g the center over to their side of things, as though it were a game of tug-of-war, the center doesn't move....................as it is anchored securely by the United States Constitution.

Where we have gone wrong, and are going wrong, is that we determine the wings FIRST, disregarding the center entirely. Rather than starting with what the Constitution says ( every single word and sentence, not snippets ), we start with what we want ( or don't want )..................and try to force the Constitution to comply. When we disagree with what the Constitution says, we either try to change it, reword it to support our desires, or we ignore it entirely. Many people even delude themselves into believing that what they think, originated with the Constitution, without knowing what the Constitution actually says.

Human nature makes us want to be right about everything, and we'll fight to the death defending our "beliefs", many times, without ever being able to explain why, or where, those beliefs originated. There are two core documents that should NEVER be paraphrased, re-interpreted, re-worded, or cherry picked - and those two documents are the Bible and the US Constitution. Modifying those words in our heads to make them say what we WANT them to say, or worse, acting on those selfish modifications, is just plain wrong -and deadly - both in this life AND the next.

Yes, there is one actor who may be in need of a job, and he and Kevyn could easily be soul mates.

That one would do such an accurate portrayal he'd be an odds-on favorite for an Academy Award.

Sorry Goober, but the center is reserved for fence straddlers.

And you can't claim to be a centrist when you're in lockstep with the left.

Those of us who have chosen, whether it be left or right, have drawn a clear line in the Sand.

You either want to secure the border or you don't.

You either want lower taxes and less regulations or you don't.

You either want lower unemployment or you don't.

You either want to k**l babies or you don't.

There's only middle ground for procrastinators and r****ds.

Ideology blinds us all........................you need glasses. The Constitution is non partisan.

This is a most excellent post...

I hope you don't mind that I sent a copy to a friend...

I credited it to Ipnmajor on the OPP...


Thank you and no I don't mind a bit. You could have taken credit, had you desired to do so, and that wouldn't have bothered me either.

Also true. The "center" or what I think of as the average or the norm, has in fact drifted farther and farther left since the late 60s. And it was on a greased slide in the Obama years.
