Is It Ignorance Of Or Antagonism To The Founding Principles?

George Will : A Lesson from the Framers - Townhall.com:
"Some governors have recently behaved badly in appointing people to fill U.S. Senate vacancies. Feingold's solution, of which John McCain is a co-sponsor, is to amend the 17th Amendment. It would be better to repeal it."


So many of the proposals from the left run counter to the intentions of our Framers. You wonder whether they are just ignorant, or if they consider themselves more evolved than those slave owning neanderthals that founded our nation. Unfortunately, I suspect 10% or less of graduating high school seniors today could explain the difference between a democratic and a republican form of government. The vast majority of Americans reading about Feingold's proposal will react, "yeah, more democracy, that has to be better, dude." Step one in pulling this nation back from the brink of European socialism is to start teaching our citizenry the principles upon which our nation was founded.
