Teddy & Woody Ruined Constitutional Freedom

“Either the Constitution means what it says, or it doesn’t.” America’s founding fathers considered liberty a basic part of our nature — something to be guarded, not usurped by the federal government. As a result, they enshrined separation of powers and guarantees of freedom in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. But a little over a hundred years after America’s founding, those God-given rights were laid siege by two presidents — Republican Theodore Roosevelt and Democrat Woodrow Wilson — who cared more about the advancement of progressive, redistributionist ideology than the principles on which the country was founded. No one understands and articulates their disastrous impact better than constitutional scholar, former state Superior Court judge, and Senior Judicial Analyst for Fox News Judge Andrew P. Napolitano. In Theodore and Woodrow, he reveals how they engineered and oversaw the greatest shift in power in American history. Where once authority resided in individuals and states, Roosevelt and Wilson vested it in a bloated, overreaching federal bureaucracy. Their destructive legacy still dominates the nation in the form of the progressive income tax, state-prescribed compulsory education, the Federal Reserve, perpetual wars, and the constant encroachment of a government that coddles special interests and discourages true marketplace competition. Today, inescapable bureaucracy invades virtually all aspects of public and private life. Pegging Roosevelt and Wilson as ideologues bent on using the presidency to redistribute wealth, regulate personal behavior, and consolidate federal power, Judge Napolitano exposes the intellectually arrogant, autocratic, even racist impulses that drove them to poison the American constitutional system. Anyone concerned about civil, economic, or individual liberty will find Judge Napolitano’s exposé informative, infuriating, and indispensable.

I find public school duplicitous in this scheme. A student shouldn't graduate anything without understanding the 10th amendment.

The country and the economy must be in pretty darn good shape if the biggest thing the Bumpkin crew has to do is worry about which President they thought was the worst 100 years ago...

Sorry fellas- I didn't know nor vote for either of them ! :wink:

Just so you know you have been so wrong about so many things and especially good to see you admit it.

Maybe you should listen to others' observations more often? :wink:

Don't look at us here as your adversaries, but as your educators. Maybe you will learn more. We aim to please.

To me the best President was Teddy Roosevelt- who ironically became President because his party, at the bequest of the Big Corporates/Business and the corrupt party officials, gave him the V.P. spot to get him out of their hair as Governor -thinking he'd just fade away in that position.... But he became President after McKinleys assassination- and made his crusade against the Corporate crooks/political corruption a national issue..
