Back to basics.

I've recently found myself engrossed by politics.
That was NOT the original intent of this blog.

As stated on left-hand banner, the original intent was to, "Restore the U.S. Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land!"

What would I prefer to see the campaigns debate?
"We the people of the United States, in order to
form a more perfect union,
establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare,
and
secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
There's plenty of wiggle-room here.

Honest people, espousing honest positions, can honestly disagree on the best ways by which to attain these ends... but I'd prefer every candidate, from county dog-catcher on up, start from the premise that these six (6) simple aims are our aims.

These six simple aims ought be the basis of all political discussion.
How ought we attain them?

Have a nice day.
