Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Video and Audio – There’s an article at The Imaginative Conservative by Bruce Frohnen entitled “What the Constitution Can, and Can’t, Do”.  The purpose of a Constitution is not to bequeath rights to people or establish some social order protected by government. We do have a Bill of Rights that says that people that reside within the states reserve the right to regulate a militia and establish their own church… which would be run by their state legislature. Even Patrick Henry was going to impose a mandatory tithe to support the chosen church of Mr. Henry. And he would’ve succeeded had it not been for Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison stepping in and saying basically that “that’s not religious liberty” and it’s not a good idea for religion to get in bed with government… much like it has now. For more check out today’s Founders TV and sign up for a Founders Pass if you haven’t already.

Sadly there seems to be no limit of “permissiveness” and demolition of any old traditions
