I now often see frequent references that assert America as being a constitutional republic. America is by no means a "constitutional republic".
We are a constitutionally limited republic. The two are not quite the same and the difference is very significant.
A constitutional republic is a government where representatives are elected to govern according to a constitution that outlines the structure and powers of the government, with individual rights protected.
A constitutionally limited republic emphasizes stricter limits on government power, prioritizing individual liberties and restricting governmental authority to only what is explicitly allowed by the constitution.
The difference lies in the degree of emphasis on limiting government power, with the latter being more restrictive.
In America's case, far more restrictive.
Therefore, there exists no rightful place in America for tyrannical philosophies, those of cowards, thieves, and other corrupts.
Progressivism and all such vulgarities are anathema to all for which America stands as the beacon of liberty; the shining city on the hill; the example to all the world.
Michael Rennie as Klaatu put it well in "The Day The Earth Stood Still" when he quipped "we do not claim to have attained perfection. But we have a system, and it works." In spite of the irony there, the statement fits well with respect to America.
May God bless us all and have mercy upon those who march against the proprieties of liberty.
Until next time, please accept my best wishes.
