Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Time and Tide

So, the Constitution is irrelvant, Time Magazine reflects. Seems we are much different now, having sexting, for example. (I am not making this up.)  The Marxist push, you see is dilute the protections of the individual in the Constitution by appealing to their vanity. Obama calls this the "negative"
 aspect of our Constitution, as opposed to the Constitution taking control of our lives.

Sadly, the supider we get, the more this works.  So, we are now facing Homeland Security having your medical information (No, HIPAA does not apply,) some board telling you if the homeland will let you get an operation, and so on, because the Obama advocates say that the commerce clause, being living and flexible, would provide justification for its control over your body, for taking control of the insurance industry, and making paying a private doctor directly a felony.  The common good overcomes the individual, you see, after you shred the Constitution.


Quoted in the recent Hillsdale College email letter:

"It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."

So, join me, as of 1965 and never buy Time Magazine. 

I gave up on it, then, later U. S. News and World Report, because I thought it was just crap, lightly researched, simplistic, and pushing movies and music also owned by Time Warner. I didn't realize it was part of a mindset that can only be called a latent European mind virus.

Time Magazine is irrelevant. It does not seem to desire the freedom of the press promised in the Constitution.  This is because its freedom is guaranteed as long as it is an organ of the left, which it desires and assume will be the ruling class.  Time, so to speak, will tell.
