When the outrageous becomes the norm

Have you ever heard something so outrageous you don’t believe it’s true? Then, when you find out it is true, your reaction is, “Are you kidding me?” I’ve had several of those lately.

Like Senator Schumer, who complained about alleged Russian interference with our elections and called for new elections in Israel. Or a new bill in Canada that, if it becomes law, could get someone jailed for life for what they say. How about West Point looking to remove the phrase “Duty, Honor, Country” from its mission statement? My favorite is a UK study that shows that electric vehicles produce hundreds of times more pollution than gas-powered vehicles.

Each of these articles made me think, “Are you kidding me?” The only way to find out is to dig a little deeper into them.

Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers. As I learned more and more about our founding fathers and documents I saw how little we know about how our country was designed to work and how many people just didn't care. I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.
