Initially, I felt sure it was Parker’s question to readers: “Is it not sad that most basic violations of individual liberty are not intuitively obvious to so many citizens and members of Congress?”
Yeah, I thought after reading this, we are a fabulously rich nation whose intuition for freedom and understanding of what it means to be truly free appear to have violently short circuited somewhere along the line.
But then, I kept reading Parker’s blog and found this insightful tidbit: “Perhaps what the ongoing saga of American history is about is the struggle to understand and apply our operating manual -- our Constitution --in a manner consistent with the principles of our nation’s founding.”
We are a nation subversively compromised by an anti-Americanism creep through the core institutions that fundamentally rely on the dogma of the U.S. Constitution and The Declaration of Independence to survive: family, education, and economy.
I agree with Parker’s conclusion that there’s a massive disconnect between our Constitutional “operating manual” and founding principles. I also contend that we need look no further than our education institutions to place a certain level of blame.
I just hope as a country and society inherently steeped in freedom that we are able to blend these two exceptional guiding epistles before it’s too late for our children’s and grandchildren’s sake.
While 2012 and America’s future is somewhat uncertain, what I can tell you for certain is Star Parker, and her knack for being intuitively right on the mark, makes her this week’s EUG Cool Conservative.
