Amazing, with all the talk about the Constitution from every quarter, I haven’t heard a word about today being the 222nd birthday of the Constitution of the United States. Not from Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. And I’m really surprised…make that disappointed. In all fairness, I didn’t listen to either’s radio show today in its entirety, so I may have missed it if they did mention Constitution Day. Not from The News Journal or the Delaware State News. Not one word.

September 17th is Constitution day. Annually there is little to no recognition of this holiday. July 4th means nothing without the framework, of liberty, justice, peace and morality found in the Constitution. Unfortunately, nowadays most Americans don’t realize this. Corporate media, federally funded schools, the welfare/warfare state, nationalism, and questionable morality have led this generation to slip closer to a despotic and tyrannical state. It is one thing to maliciously ignore the Bill of Rights.

On September 17th our current operating system will be 222 years old and we’re on version 2.27. Version 1.0, The Articles of Confederation, had enough bugs in it that the system engineers designed version 2.0, The Constitution of the United States. We’ve upgraded it 27 times already and some of the upgrades have only served to make it more inefficient and less user-friendly. I think we have to ask ourselves if we’re willing to spend time fixing it or should we just upgrade to Constitution 3.0.
