In Observance of Constitution Day

The Peasant wishes to make amends for a error of omission;

I have not, at least not on this blog, made any mention of let

alone paid attention to the meaning of this day and its significance

to us as Americans: Today, September 17, is Constitution Day.

And this year, this grand document is 237 years old.

This day is the anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution

of the United States, the foundation of our rule of law. May it be

around and in full force for us all to observe its birthday, if you will,

and its continuation in guaranteeing the rights which we enjoy as

Americans, for it is under attack by people who think they know 

better what is best for the governance of our country and the

way we should live our lives and conduct ourselves. 

But for now, let us give our respect and homage to one of the most 

remarkable documents ever devised and drafted by man. 

And on Election Day, November 5, let us also defend it by voting

for constitutionally-minded and disciplined candidates for public

office, from local offices to the presidency. We still have this one 

simple but exquisitely powerful weapon at our disposal to stand

up to the con artists, the glad-handers, the elitists, the totalitarians,

and all the other grubby, grabbing, grafting scumbags who want to 

take that and all else we have as citizens of this magnificent country

founded as an example of freedom and liberty for all the world to 

see away from us, leaving a country which we would not recognize

and would not want to live in.

We have much to be grateful for. Let us show our gratitude at this 

crucial time to friend and foe, from without and from within.
