I agree with that, but I believe that the total failure of the Constitution demonstrates that it was not worth adopting in the first place.<br /><br />I mean, our SECOND president who was also a Founding Father walked all over it.<br /><br />Outside of small groups in which everybody is personally connected, you cannot expect folks to cooperate with an honor system. And that's all the Constitution is. You're just trusting the government to police itself, and you're trusting the military/general population to remove the government if it doesn't.<br /><br />All political systems ultimately rely on force to function, and if you want things done your way, it's best to use force. I understand Joseph Smith to have been a supporter of democracy, and I've read passages of 1 Nephi that seem to be pro-democracy, but otherwise, I firmly believe that the Mandate of Heaven, not constitutionalism, should be the governing principle of any society.

It will also mean more bathrooms for transgenders to share with our wives, sisters, or daughters. It may also mean that a nuclear war with Russia or China could happen sooner. And the guy who brought us Obama, ie, Mitt Romney is making this all possible. Thanks of course to the Republican Party Establishment that seems to be hell-bent on a suicide mission to stop Trump, with Capt Romney asking for volunteers to be the kamikaze pilot. Why Romney is not sacrificing himself for his cause has absolutely nothing to do with his future presidiential ambitions.<br /><br />"Romney's Third-Party Delusion"<br />http://www.theamericanconservative.com/buchanan/romneys-third-party-delusion/Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04496351045031931881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-31318942077759859582016-05-18T19:33:13.134-07:002016-05-18T19:33:13.134-07:00Rock, Tom Woods recently interviewed Richman regar...Rock, Tom Woods recently interviewed Richman regarding his book:<br /><br />http://tomwoods.com/podcast/ep-663-is-the-constitution-an-enemy-of-liberty/<br /><br />SBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699554522289335818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-87347147003248423712016-05-11T05:34:46.311-07:002016-05-11T05:34:46.311-07:00It would appear, from a distance, that the US is f...It would appear, from a distance, that the US is facin' it's Gracchian moment though.

Being of European stock I don't understand your election circus very much (but which American does?), but no matter who is going to be your next Pres. (and it probably will be Trump, the man America deserves), your country has already gone to the dogs anyway; perverted by wicked people, morally eroded and divided on almost every issue you can think of, waiting for the dollar to collapse and the economy to fail.

If your allegiance is to Christ and not to the United 15 Apostles, peace be upon them, thus admitting the theoretical possibility of a divide between Christ and His Infallible Mouthpieces, you are an apostate to the Church.<br /><br />Of course, having the fulness of the priesthood means, in part, having the key to ask and be answered - and if you had that key, would you willingly cut someone off from the Church if you truly believed cutting someone off from the Church meant casting them down to hell, or would you rather ask and be answered from God?Jared Liveseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309044282039536254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-79460887064340607142016-05-06T06:39:05.738-07:002016-05-06T06:39:05.738-07:00Mark Moe,

Okay, well and good. I admired him for that...UNTIL he emerged from the Broadway theater April 8th raving about the subject of the play "Hamilton." As cited in the quotation I provided in my comment at 4:50 above, Hamilton stood for pretty much everything that Bernie Sanders repeatedly CLAIMS to be against:<br /><br />"Hamilton harbored the bloody impulse to literally murder tax dissenters and anyone who challenged the 'authority' of the federal government, as was proven by his behavior during the Pennsylvania Whiskey Rebellion. <br /><br />"Hamilton was the political water boy for the crony capitalist one-percenters of his day. All of his efforts to create a bank run by politicians out of the nation’s capital (the First Bank of the United States) had one main purpose: to provide cheap credit for his big business political patrons in New York and Philadelphia, and to subsidize the banking industry itself, at the expense of the general public....He wanted to bring the rotten, corrupt, British system of “mercantilism,” against which the Revolution had been fought, to America, run by Americans like himself and his New York political cronies."<br /> <br />What other word than hypocrite comes to mind for you?<br /><br />You'll note from a reading of my piece that I allowed for the possibility that Sanders was simply ignorant of Hamilton's crimes; but Bernie Sanders puts himself forward as an expert on how and why banking has corrupted politics. How could he have been ignorant of Alexander Hamilton's seminal role in that corruption?<br /><br />I readily admit to seeing red at the very mention of Alexander Hamilton being a hero of the Revolution- I get nearly blinded with rage. If there is any place Hamilton's visage DOES belong, it's on a Federal Reserve Note, the very symbol of the debt and corruption he is largely responsible for introducing into our culture.Alan Rock Watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971243364867111868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-81647482455930010502016-05-04T05:08:09.649-07:002016-05-04T05:08:09.649-07:00Hi Colt,
It would appear for starters that I have ...Hi Colt,<br />It would appear for starters that I have a fundamentally different idea than you of what government's purpose is, as you say "The size and scope of the government is their failures as an institute to care for their fellow man."<br /><br />The purpose of government is to PROTECT the rights of the individual, not to provide for his wants. Whatever failures there are to religions or charities does not permit government to step in and fill a role it was not designed to do. Jefferson described Government's ONLY legitimate role in his first inaugural address:<br /><br />"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. That is the sum of good government."<br /><br />To recap, government's role is to:<br /><br />1. restrain men from hurting each other and taking their stuff.<br />2. Otherwise leave them alone to regulate their own pursuits.<br /><br />It would be nice if we had some benevolent entity that provided our wants for us, but government has no resources to give. In order for government to extend care to one of us, it must steal from another. You speak of charities as though charities have failed, but most charities (except those that pocket for themselves a hefty percentage of their donations) are raging successes in accomplishing their goals.<br /><br />I personally volunteer with a local federation of churches here in Sacramento that provide hearty dinners, breakfasts, and overnight accommodations for the homeless in this city, and thanks to those who are generous with their time and money, this charity and others like it are succeeding very well where the government consistently fails in attempting the same role.<br /><br />As for Hillary Clinton's criminal convictions, I expected the reader to click on the links I provided. That's where you'll find citations where both she and her husband were censured AND found guilty of violations which required the payment of fines and restitution. It's not hard to find further evidence of crimes for which the Clintons have not been convicted, but where their behavior is clearly criminal. (Look up the definition of "crime." A person does not have to be caught for them to have engaged in criminal behavior.)<br /><br />Here are a couple of additional sources:<br /><br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zUpKOC-t6g<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kypl1MYuKDY<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83MGS8Y6nSU<br /><br />A simple Google search of the words Hillary Clinton" and "criminal" turns up more examples than I have had time follow through with, but I felt the examples I provide the reader were a good start.<br /><br />(Continued below)Alan Rock Watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971243364867111868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-32568195930407328782016-05-03T23:59:12.112-07:002016-05-03T23:59:12.112-07:00Interesting read, Rock. Since you are all about wa...Interesting read, Rock. Since you are all about wanting your posts to be accurate, I found at least one error, that was prefaced as opinion. "Hillary giving a rousing stump speech, but let's not forget she is a First Class hypocrite, a liar, and a convicted career criminal. There is no denying it."<br /><br />Calling her a hypocrite and a liar is quite easy to do. All men are liars and hypocrites. However you then say that she is a "convicted career criminal." When exactly has she been indicted and then convicted by a jury of her peers? Had she ever been, those foaming at the mouth would have jumped on this and be shouting it from the rooftops. Perhaps you just misspoke, we all do. Perhaps you could clarify when she has been convicted, what the judgment was in her case etc. <br /><br />I would point out that Mormons are not unique in placing a trust in men, whether it is with ecclesiastical authority or with political leaders promising things. Of all the people running, in full discourse I support Sanders, with eyes wide open. Not so much for the man himself, but rather the hope of a better change in an economic system that he inspires. I do find your reasoning for considering him a hypocrite bordering on hilarious if it wasn't so asinine. Perhaps I'm harsh in that assessment but could you could offer the link to whichever quote that would indicate what makes him so hypocritical? Simply liking a dramatized version of a historical founding father seems like a stretch at best to dislike someone or to even claim that they are a hypocrite. Does me having watched The Apprentice and enjoying it for what it is make me a hypocrite even though I think that a Trump presidency will damage us far greater than any of the other candidates? Or speaking to someone of your generation, if I were to quote a Beatles song "All you need is love." When one of the Beatles in John Lennon was a known cheater. I don't think that makes me a hypocrite, but a human that responds to catchphrase or music that speak to you. But I feel you have rather loose definitions of what a hypocrite constitutes. Will Sanders change everything? Of course not, anybody that's been burned by authority (no pun intended) especially from the church knows well enough that human beings are flawed beings, and I would fully expect Sanders to make mistakes if he were ever to take the office of president. However when I step into the voting booth it isn't to vote for one best suited to keep the chair warm until Jesus shows up or even for the ward bishop, but rather one who can keep our nation focused on ourselves and for issues that have real world consequences, and not ones whom are so thin skinned that they would resort to calling other national leaders names like a second rate middle school bully.<br /><br /> Will there be anybody that will be good enough for the pedestal that we have constructed and expect them to stand on without being wobbly? Nope, it'll never happen. We can and will agree on that. But to be so dismissive to those that might vote for their economic and civil interests, truly shows the level of privilege that we as a nation, specifically Anglo Europeans have that we can just vote our consciousness when there are still those around the world and those disenfranchised within our own country who do rely on some of these people to fulfill even five percent of what they promise on the campaign trail. I use to feel the same way that I wouldn't vote the lesser of two evils, and that I would vote my conscious and go with a third party candidate. However that becomes more difficult to do when there are many out there that need the assistance that the government might give them for whatever reason. One can make the case that government isn't here for that. That being said, government wouldn't have been necessary had religion or charity fulfilled it's mission in helping and providing for people. The size and scope of the government is their failures as an institute to care for their fellow man.Colt H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13096177768238594680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-64161492604208024202016-05-03T17:54:16.948-07:002016-05-03T17:54:16.948-07:00Sure Mark, I'd love to talk to you on the phon...Sure Mark, I'd love to talk to you on the phone.

You'll r...Thanks for the clarification, Mark. <br /><br />You'll recall I pointed in that first part that my point of view is based on the religious principles inherent within Mormon teachings. This is no partisan screed I wrote. I can see your point were I to take sides in this national circus, supporting one candidate over another. But I reject them all, and I do so on firm religious grounds. And since this is indeed a blog about my religion, I feel it is entirely proper to discuss my religion as it applies in the public square.<br /><br />The position I hold is this: I'm not trying to tell anyone who they should or should not vote for. I don't really care. BUT...I am expressing the opinion that if a member of the Church is to hold to his or her religious principles, it seems to me that the support of ANY of these mainstream candidates would conflict with those principles.<br /><br />But what does it matter what I think? Mormons -especially those in leadership positions-regularly abandon the teachings of their religion all the time. <br /> <br />I understand that we have all been propagandized from childhood that religion and politics don't mix. But religious PRINCIPLES -the manner in which we are expected to conduct ourselves with one others in society- do count. We should not throw morality out the window for the sake of political expediency.<br /><br />It's worth noting here that the LDS Church bends over backward in an attempt not to preach against immorality. Oh sure, it condemns its own members for trifles, to be sure. But it denounces the sins of society only in the most general terms, and only when it is certain it will not step on any political toes. That policy is not born of religious conviction. It is born out of fear the Church could lose its corporate tax exemptions.<br /><br />Unincorporated churches (of which there are a growing number) continue to preach about moral failings of society such as the horrific numbers of late-term abortions. This church was once among the voices raised against this national holocaust. But the moment abortion-on-demand became settled by the Supreme Court as legally acceptable, you never heard a peep out of our leaders in general conference. They became afraid of running afoul of The Man.<br /><br />Our Lord was very specific in the Book of Mormon and in His revelations through Joseph Smith that our interactions with others should be conducted according to his laws. Politics is defined as "the making of a common decision for a group of people." Our primary obligation as sons and daughters of God when making decisions that will affect any group of people, is to take care we don't hurt any of those people, and that we don't enable others to take their stuff.<br /><br />If our religion requires us to treat all men justly, how can we leave our religious principles at the door? Why should it be thought odd for me to compare the principles that guide us with the goals and principles espoused by the various candidates who hope to rule us?<br /><br />Four years ago I made that comparison with Mitt Romney, and concluded Romney's political principles don't jibe with those he claims guide him in his daily life. But that's politics, I guess.

I added an update in the body of the piece quoting this excerpt (it can be found under the subhead "America's Founding Traitor":<br /><br />[Update May 3, 2016:<br />The day after I posted this piece, The author of Hamilton's Curse published an online response to the current Hamilton hysteria engendered by the Broadway hit. Here's an excerpt:<br />"Hamilton harbored the bloody impulse to literally murder tax dissenters and anyone who challenged the 'authority' of the federal government, as was proven by his behavior during the Pennsylvania Whiskey Rebellion. <br /><br />"Hamilton was the political water boy for the crony capitalist one-percenters of his day. All of his efforts to create a bank run by politicians out of the nation’s capital (the First Bank of the United States) had one main purpose: to provide cheap credit for his big business political patrons in New York and Philadelphia, and to subsidize the banking industry itself, at the expense of the general public....He wanted to bring the rotten, corrupt, British system of “mercantilism,” against which the Revolution had been fought, to America, run by Americans like himself and his New York political cronies." <br /><br />That's the type of "anti-establishment hero" Bernie Sanders identifies with.<br /><br />Alan Rock Watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971243364867111868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-86085176959998626292016-05-03T14:21:25.981-07:002016-05-03T14:21:25.981-07:00Hey,
Mark here...
Anyway... I think personal mat...Hey,<br /><br />Mark here...<br /><br />Anyway... I think personal matter of religion are your forte. The dive into politics is a very slippery slope!<br /><br />Reading history ,especially political, that is accurate is likely only from the winner's perspective. <br /><br />Hech, think of LDS history where if you ask most members how the transition from JS to BY event down... Most don't know...<br /><br />It your baby, but your analysis of direct LDS matters open eyes. Adding in politics in general may close them.<br /><br />I like you and the blog-- so not mean spirited and if you'd like to talk on the phone I'd like that... Let me know, give you my #. <br /><br /><br />Sincerely, MArk Moe.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987534668667652384noreply@blogger.com
