Our "Constitutional Moment'

I have refrained for some time from posting other
interesting articles that seemed to grasp the
importance of the moment. Part of that was due to
the fact that I really haven’t had the resources
necessary to do the searching for these unique
pearls of journalism. Changing metaphors, more to
the point has been the desert in which our
journalism has entered, where you can take little
at face value, and without resources to understand
the back or hidden story, items of interest may
turn out to be not as they seem.
Who could have imagined just a short year ago the United States would be facing a “Constitutional Moment?” As a people we had been awaken to the reality that at least financially things were not going too well. But we had just elected the first president of a very diverse physical heritage. Furthermore through his “hope” and enthusiasm we were all at least willing to give Barack Obama the benefit of muted doubt towards his political agenda.
What a difference a year makes. Perhaps for the first time in one hundred fifty years real people are again talking seriously about the principles of the U. S. Constitution. What a miracle that is! The passive consumer addiction to stuff has been muted by real reality and those of us with Traditional Historic American Values are beginning to voice our displeasure on the way the country is heading, both politically and financially. Again what a miracle that really is? Furthermore it is pretty clear what the definition of “is - - is.”
So today I offer you a weekly interview from the Online Wall Street Journal, by James Taranto talking with Seth Lipsky on our “Constitutional Moment.” There is a reason to be optimistic about the future of the United States, it is just that we really are not too much into what and where this “change we don’t really want to believe in” may lead.
