Political Principles Constitution

More From Thomas A. Edison

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.

The constitution is not a law, but it empowers the people to make laws... the constitution tells us what shall not be a lawful tender... the legislature has ceded up to us the privilege of enacting such laws as are not inconsistent with the constitution of the united states... the different states, and even congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the constitution of the united states.

What will solve our problems is a specific set of ideas built on bedrock principles that made america the greatest nation to begin with and applying those principles to the unique challenges of this new century. and those principles are not complicated. it begins with a notion that this nation was founded on a powerful spiritual principle, that our rights do not come from government. our rights do not come from our laws. our rights do not come from our leaders. our rights come from god.

I'm a visual thinker, really bad at algebra. there's others that are a pattern thinker. these are the music and math minds. they think in patterns instead of pictures. then there's another type that's not a visual thinker at all, and they're the ones that memorize all of the sports statistics, all of the weather statistics.
