Comments by "Itinerant Patriot" (@itinerantpatriot1196) on "Constitution 101 | Lecture 1" video.
I devoted a large part of my adult life to defending the Constitution so my love for it comes naturally. It breaks my heart to see us become more unmoored from it with each passing election. Daniel Horowitz put it best when he said people don't run on restoring constitutional government because there isn't any money in it. Pray for our Republic, the one Franklin said we could have as long as we could keep it.

@FredNewsome And? You can write all fine words you want. Ever read the Soviet constitution? They promised all kinds of stuff. What good is it if nobody plays by the rules? Okay, so we get to have a republic. A republic of what? I studied the Constitution as an undergrad. I studied the Constitution as a high schooler. I studied the Constitution during my time in the Service. That's a fair amount of studying. Enough to say our form of...governance for lack of a better term, is pretty far away from what we were given in 1789. So yeah, you can say we are guaranteed a republic, but what good is it if it violates the spirit of its core document?
