Formerly the Thinking Catholic Strategic Center
Confirming Culture=Religion+Politics
On Common Law and the Constitution. What, exactly, is Common Law?
Simple common sense, in Catholicism and Americanism, is out the window. You don't need degrees or books on theology or civil law in the living of daily life as much as you need Simple Common Sense.
Lord, help our return to Simple Common Sense. Common Sense and Independence are Overwhelmed by Community Sense and Social Dependency; Churches close and "combine" as they work on LGBT Equality and Social Justice and we can't figure out why.
On very simple, nothing to it, Common Sense Culture. There's nothing complicated about it. Culture=Religion+Politics. Eliminate religion, or eliminate politics, and you get anarchistic disorder and chaos: the opposite of culture.

I submit that, just as fear of the Lord is the bare beginning point of wisdom, the Bible is the solid cornerstone of common sense, and forms the whole basis for a Common Sense America. The Bible depicts actual Creation, which is to say actual reality and actual nature. And that anyone who denies the Bible opposes reality and opposes nature.
They may call themselves naturalists all they want to, but if they deny Biblical reality they deny actual nature.
I submit that the Bible is the foundation stone of the whole of Western Civilization, the greatest civilizing force in human history, and that as adherence to Biblical wisdom wanes, so does all of human civilization. Morality is born of religion, and the world's highest morality is Bible-based Judaeo-Christian morality, and as Judaeo-Christian morality rises or falls, so rises or falls American, Israeli and World Civilization.
Let us remind ourselves yet again of the original religous foundings of each of the original American Colonies:
Rhode Island |
Baptist |
Each of the original Colonies came to be because their founders fled the brutal religious persecution in the new Protestant and Anglican royal domains of Britain and Europe, and they came to America so that they could at last be free to worship in their own freely chosen Christian denomination.
The ratification of the Bill Of Rights and the Constitution started the disestablishment of the Colonial (State) theocracies and began the "Freedom of Worship" defining characteristic of the United States. The very first clause in the very first of the ten Amendments of our Bill Of Rights prohibited the federal government from picking a denomination to be the official religion of America, and guaranteed government non-interference with citizen Christian worship.
Modernism had already infected the intellect of many of the founders and citizens of the Colonies by "intellectually" divorcing theological science from material science in their minds, and beginning to pit them against each other, weakening the original philosophical quest for truth, which had always begun on the presupposition of Biblical creation.
That original pre-modernism philosophy is nearly dead today, and in its place are a blue million individual "philosophies" that are really nothing more than ideologies, some of them political, and some of them seeking to prove new "realities" outside of Biblical creation. A fool's quest.
Despite all that, the Colonists at the time of the American founding were highly moral men. While they differed mightily in their denominational theologies, they were of one mind in their Christian Morality. On that, they were about as close to unanimous as any people ever were or ever could be.
Deism was a popular intellectual fad at the time, and even the Deists among them still adhered strongly to the moral Commandments. Some, like Thomas Jefferson himself, displayed agnostic thinking verging on atheism, and yet, remained highly moral men in the Christian sense of that word. It was a matter of honor, and honor was judged by morality. There was one and only one moral code among them, and it was Christian.
All, from the least faithful and reverent to the most, knew their Bible, which in that era was the most read book in the New World; it was, for many if not most, the primer from which they learned English and it was the centerpiece of their education. Even atheists of the era could quote from it.
What was foremost in their minds, post-Revolutionary War, was the form of government they were establishing here. They knew the fatal flaws of pure Democracy and the Pilgrims had already tried Socialism (see Colonial Communism), very nearly starved from it, and were only saved from death by Socialism by Citizen Independence, which is just another name for Capitalism.
So the American government-type argument of the day swirled around how to organize a confederation of still independent and still sovereign states that were, together, to form one cohesive nation. And the question that needed an answer was just how powerful, as opposed to just how limited and constrained, that federal government was to be.
They argued to define the limited yet powerful American Federalism that we wound up with.
The full text of the Constitution was questioned, argued and edited mightily by the representatives of the States.
Arguing for a strong federal government were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. Beginning in 1787 they began publishing a series of 85 essays arguing for ratification under the pseudonym "Publius". They were published serially in New York newspapers. The first 77 of them were published in book form titled The Federalist, which has been hailed as among the most important political documents in U.S. history.
Argumnents against a strong federal government began with an anonymous writer under the pen name of "Cato", reportedly the then-New-York Governor George Clinton. Cato was joined by "The Three Dissenters", Elbridge Gerry, Edmund Randolph and George Mason who would not ratify the Constitution. They were joined by Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, and Richard Henry Lee, who objected to the Constitution's consolidation of federal power. And their collected speeches and essays later came to be known as the Anti-Federalist Papers.
The anti-Federalist argument is what gave birth to the Bill of Rights, the ultimate compromise that brought ratification of the Constitution. The rights of the citizens had to be permanently protected from the government, and ratification of the whole Constitution was made contingent upon passage of the Bill Of Rights, which were ratified as the first ten amendments to the Constitution. A vitally important fact. Today the courts are more concerned with settling cases relating to the Bill Of Rights than they are to cases relating to the rest of the Constitution.
There was another argument that got started after ratification between men of party, and those opposed to party. Thomas Jefferson was a man of party, and George Washington was opposed to party. Political Parties were no part of the Constitutional government, and yet they were already beginning to assume unconstitutional powers unto themselves.
Today political parties actually run both houses of Congress, something not intended by the ratifiers of the Constitution.
But what is worse, one of the Parties is Marxist, and Marxism is diametrically opposed to the whole of the American Constitution.
Thanks to political party actions, Separation of Church and State, a bogus "Constitutional Principle" has morphed into a militant secularist purely political religious cleansing of Christianity out of government, out of all formal education and out of the public square.
And in its place we find every immorality condemned in the Bible being blessed, protected by law and even celebrated. In America.
We have had a Marxist, Moslem Hedonist as a two-term President.
Note well that Marxism, Islam and Hedonism are all,
We have condemned this "transformation" movement as what we call the Islamo-Commie-Homo anti-American seditionist, insurrectionist revolutionary political movement. Islam, Marxism and Hedonism, as mortal enemy ideologies and political movements to Constitutional America, should not be allowed to fester inside American borders, let alone inside any government offices, teaching offices or any positions of authority.
To that end we have called for return to public prayer in America.
Back in Untransforming America we made 13 recommendations for correcting the course of the nation, steering out of and away from Islam, Marxism and Hedonism. Here we will make some more.
14. An Act, to disassociate education from federal government funding, control, legislation, regulation, and to permanently shut down the federal department of education and nullify every regulation it ever issued. There is nothing in the limited and enumerated authorized powers of federal government relating to education.
Thus the federal department of education is an unconstitutional entity.
15. A Constitutional Amendment (assuming Recommendation 14. above fails to pass), to return the Bible and the Ten Commandments to being integral parts of American education, and to remove everything extraneous to Biblical morality, literacy, mathematics and the arts and sciences from education.
16. A Constitutional Amendment,
17. A Constitutional Amendment, to outlaw Marxism and Islam in America and to prohibit Marxists and Moslems from all federal offices, government contracts, security clearances and American citizenship.
If you think all that is too harsh or not "welcoming" and "exclusive", let me remind you that Marxist insurrectionists are already in our streets, burning our flag and desecrating our monuments, with the full support and legal protection of the Marxocrat Party. With three months to go before the 2024 election, thanks to the Marxocrat Party, we now have Palestinians right here among us, along with Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Taliban, Moslem Brotherhood, and more.
Look at Comrade Obama's chosen national security advisor terrorists, and tell me this wasn't all planned out.
It's why the borders are still being criminally held open.
The only thing Truth has going for Him in this world is us.
The restoration of Truth = Reality in the hearts and minds of men is now totally dependent upon you and me; if we don't do it, it won't get done.
Pray for a strategic alliance between President Trump and excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano against the common conspiratorial criminality in the American and Catholic political parties.
