The campaign continues


This guy down in Moline seems like a reasonable fellow, and The Rascal is inclined to agree with the points he makes.

But alas, he's among the majority of Americans (too many of whom are liberals) who labor under the misassumption that the U.S. Constitution created three "co-equal" branches of government. It did not, as I've been tirelessly preaching here for the past few months.

Actually, the Founding Fathers intended the legislative branch to be supreme.

Here's what I said about the matter a couple of months ago.

Another Vonnegut quote

When author Kurt Vonnegut died the other day, we posted a few quotes from him, and now we've gleaned another from bartcop.com.

Vonnegut offered this observation just a few years ago:

"I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d’etat imaginable. And those now in charge of the federal government are upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka 'Christians,' and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities."

UPDATE: OK, one more Vonnegut quote: "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
