Never let a pandemic go to waste

I’ve heard some pretty lame excuses in my lifetime. There’s the classic, “The dog ate my homework” and “The check must have gotten lost in the mail.” Sometimes, however, I cannot tell if what passes for logic and reasoning in the world today is the arrogance that people will believe whatever you say or just a lame attempt to claim, “It’s not my fault!”

There have been plenty of examples where the government used the “scamdemic” to try to infringe on our rights. In the latest examples, the federal government’s Deputy Solicitor General argued that it was OK for the Biden administration to violate the First Amendment because it was a “once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.”

But it doesn’t take a pandemic for some to infringe on your rights; sometimes, all it takes is a political preference. Like the evidence that the MRC has found that Google has been interfering with our elections since 2008 or Biden’s DHS trying to embezzle $1.4 billion from the money Congress appropriated to build a wall on the southern border. These are just a few of the things that the “scamdemic” and other made-up crises have been the excuse for the tyrants to grab even more power.

Paul Engel

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.
