If Only I’d Known …

From Thomas Jefferson-A Sentiment Today’s Politicos Should Note
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
~Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)

From Slick Rich’s List
Sacred. Limbaugh Friday had an interesting contrast on the defense of social security mounted by democrats and their allies in the media.
Democrats are now claiming that social security as designed is sacred, inviolate and must never be changed, modified or adjusted (unless, of course they are the ones doing the violating). Remember that this is a 70-year old government program. Does anyone out there believe that a 70 year old government program must never be touched after generations of operation.
Contrast that reaction in support of social security, the 70-year old government program with their reaction to the constitution itself. The constitution is not sacred at all. It must grow with the times. It must hew to pubic opinion - especially the public opinion in Europe (according to Justice Kennedy). Interesting we can do whatever we want to do to the constitution via judicial fiat or congressional malfeasance, yet we are completely unable to touch a simple government program created under the auspices of that very constitution.
