Noah Rothman weighs in tonight with this insight at Commentary:
“Again, that word “worship” creeps into the dialogue. That’s no accident. It is only natural that an argument favoring retrogression toward an illiberal ethos founded in ethnoreligious identity should be festooned with sectarian metaphors. This isn’t about secularism; what is at issue here is the value of free expression and the wisdom of America’s foundational structures that now stand at odds with Donald Trump, the man.
Trump has insisted that he “alone can fix” the nation’s ills, and rarely defers the Congress’s authority on matters legislative. Trump has expressed distaste for the First Amendment if it prevents him from suing media outlets that have fallen out of his grace and favor. He has pledged to prevent companies from outsourcing for labor or materials or from making their decisions concerning the dismissal of employees. He has promised to ignite a “trade war” that would invalidate existing treaties. At issue isn’t that these and other dictatorial pronouncements from Trump are feasible; they’re not. At least, not yet. It is that they have sparked a genuine dialogue within the American right about the virtue of authoritarianism and its handmaiden, totalitarianism, in service to advancing the priorities of the state. …”
We’ve already begun to poke fun at Constitution worship here.
The flaws of the Constitution predate Trump and were known 150 years ago. How about another take on the absurdity that is “Constitutional conservatism”?
“Hence the rage in the North against the limitations in the Constitution of the United States, which check the sphere of their avarice and money operations in the General Government. A money oligarchy, is the grand aim of their policy. Hence the detestation of the States; because, with their reserved powers, they prevent the absorption of all power in Congress. To the states, the powers not granted in the Constitution, are reserved. Abolish them; and no powers will be reserved. Consolidation will be complete.
To accomplish this object, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution have been invented and by fraud usurped – the crowning glory of successful force and despotism; and thus, a power given to improve and preserve the liberty of the People, is used to destroy them. It matters very little, whether the powers conferred on Congress, by these amendments, are exercised or not. They make the Government of the United States a Constitutional despotism. This was the ground on which our ancestors resisted the insignificant tax of three pence on a pound of tea, and they accepted war, rather than concede the abstract right to impose a constitutional despotism on them. By these amendments, if carried out according to their manifest intent, by the legislation of the Congress of the United States, can, at any time, at its own volition, suspend all civil rule in a State, and introduce military domination. No Emperor can require more power to enforce his despotism. The states are constitutionally annihilated. That cannot be a State, whose elections may be controlled – whose Territory make be taken possession of, and whose people may be seized and shot by a military authority it does not invoke, and which by terms of the Constitution, it can neither resist nor expel. It is a mere County, a District of a single consolidated despotism. Nor can there be a political union amongst such Counties or Districts. A political union can only exist, between independent political entities. Such was the Union constituted by the Constitution of the United States, “between the states.” But this Union – a Union of independent political entities – a Union of free-will and choice, – is gone; and the connexion now existing between what were formerly States, is no union at all; but is the operation of the different parts of a central consolidated power, held together by fear and force. The Federative feature in the Constitution (which alone made the Government of the United States a free Government) being destroyed, – the Government of the United States, is simply the consolidated sectional despotism of a majority in Congress which, by secret causes, may be the tool of one man; and the strands of the Union, consisting of Separate Sovereign States, now welded together by the sword, into the iron rod of centralism, makes the government a fit instrument for the purposes of Northern greed, ambition, and hate.”
As Robert Barnwell Rhett explained above, the notion that the United States Constitution after it was vandalized by the 14th and 15th Amendments ensures “limited government” is an absurdity. The federal government can invade any state and destroy its people and their property. It is about as limited in its power as Napoleon’s Empire.
The Constitution is a dead letter. The states have been stripped of all their sovereignty and reduced to administrative units of a consolidated empire. The Tenth Amendment doesn’t exist. The Supreme Court has already found a constitutional right to abortion, gay marriage and sodomy. Soon, the Supreme Court will find some way to interpret the living Constitution to gut the First and Second Amendments too.
The Constitution that conservatives are nostalgic for died in the Civil War. The new Constitution we live under today is based on five pillars:
1.) Democracy – Government of the numerical majority, by the numerical majority, for the numerical majority. The numerical majority in the United States is female, non-White, non-Christian. Democracy is the rationalization for its rule.
2.) Oligarchy – Government of the wealthy, by the wealthy, for the wealthy. Behind the smokescreen of a democracy based on a majority of the identity groups (women, Jews, LGBT, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, non-Christians, etc), the donor class sets public policy.
3.) Jewocracy – Government of the Jews, by the Jews, for the Jews. At the summit of the oligarchy, the beating heart and animating force of the oligarchy is a hostile Jewish elite which poisons our culture, strip mines our economy, and corrupts our political system.
4.) Negrocracy – Government of the negro, by the negro, for the poor, pitiful negro. Black Run America, the epoch of history we have been living through since 1965, provides the state with its shroud of moral legitimacy. Martin Luther King, Jr. has replaced George Washington as the “Father of His Country.” The Civil Rights Movement is now more important to modern America than the American Revolution.
5.) Gynocracy – Government of women, by women, for the poor, oppressed woman. The patriarchy has fallen and has been replaced by a feminized electorate that is easily swayed by appeals to emotion. Hence, every candidate can be expected to be War-on-Womened to death every four years by the gynocracy.
Yes, it might seem a bit contradictory, but somehow the system we have now makes it work. Just as the original Constitution combined democratic and aristocratic elements, the present constitutional order combines all of these essential features – democracy, oligarchy, Jewocracy, negrocracy, gynocracy – into one dystopian package.
The present fallen state of Detroit and our other ruined major cities, for example, is a vivid illustration of the negrocratic element of the present American constitutional system. Foreign countries must laugh at our foolishness and wonder why we tolerate it.
The Left chases its own phantom in its ongoing crusade against “the patriarchy” and “white supremacy.” It is a world which was washed away by the social revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s. Similarly, the cuckservative chases his favorite phantom which is nostalgia for a “Constitution” which ceased to a meaningful document generations ago and survives only as an ancestral memory from a bygone age.
Note: Any ideas for giving the Constitution a makeover?
“We the People of The Current Year, in order to establish Social Justice, and fight the cisgendered, heteronormative, white supremacist patriarchy, to prevent another Holocaust, and to secure the blessings of Equality to everyone on earth but our own Posterity, do ordain and establish this Revised Constitution for the United States of America …”
There recently was a simulated Article V convention that had some good ideas http://www.conventionofstates.com/ and Texas (governor) has proposed several amendments. One should define and create a process for nullification and secession.
The Constitution itself was always a “parchment barrier”, or as you said, “dead letter”. The 10 commandments never stopped a single sin, only identified the evil. At least through Prohibition they had the decency to vandalize the Constitution with amendments instead of packing the Supreme Court and having them invent things to make it a living-dead document.
Yes, a within the system & outside the system dual strategy to move towards Partition.
Inside the system: a push for a secession amendment and a convention of states.
Outside the system: setting up a shadow government.
Noah Rothman……Commentary Magazine…..
Thank you, that’s all I need to know.
The Constitution – lol
Oh yeah – the piece of paper that is going to save us.
It is working wonders in my county. Things are going swimmingly with the dollar store economy and the prison economy with the rest of the county on welfare.
Cucks writing essays on the constitution is surely going to fix these problems.
What the hell does (((Noah Rothman))) know about what is going on out here in real America? If it wasn’t for identity politics, they would be nowhere. That is the only leg they are standing on at this point.
My suburban New Jersey zip code is less than 2% black (I just looked it up). I’m surprised its that high as I rarely, rarely see a black person in the supermarket or at Walmarts or Lowes. All of the 31,000 of us living here – probably including those 550 blacks – chose to buy in this town BECAUSE there are so few blacks. None of us would consider looking at a house in a town that was 10% black. We are all racists, just a fact. There isn’t one single person in this town who wouldn’t be terrified of being dropped alone in the middle of Camden NJ day or night.
Its a world of wonder, this racism talk, when its as common and ordinary as wearing underwear.
I don’t know how you’d write a Constitution to reflect real life.
It’s self evident, of cooouuurrrssssssseeeee!
What Hunter calles Negrocracy is actually Jewocracy in Blackface. Without the Jewish Laws Jewish Media and Jewish money The Negro issue disappears and I explaned this to Paul Kersey who has some aversion to the Jewish issue and he banned me. The Jew has to use the Negro because it takes the attention off of him just as he uses the Queers. The Latinos are too problematic for the Jews to use effectively because of their Roman Catholicism so they concentrate on Niggering us to death.
As for the Constitution that Enlightemnemtn document wasnt worth saving.The problem with so many Southern Confederate types in 1861 and today is that they believe the Confederacy was about saving the Constitution when it was about saving a society and the smalll government Constitutionalism was what doomed the South to defeat by for years in the Antebellum era the Jeffersonains left the South mostly wilderness and thus its own resources were never used properly The Confederate Constitution attempted to correct many of these shortcomings one thing it did correct was the problem with STATE CITIZENSHIP VIS NATIONAL CITIZENSHIP ISSUE the Confederate Constitution established ONE CITIZENSHIP all of the CSA recognized. Under the 1787 Constitution Negroes were afforded State Citizenship in some of the original 13 states but not US Citizenship. Negroes were even alowed to run for state office as state citizenship was surpeme. Dred Scott was Right but it had no power to reverse State Citizenship
You are wrong about Latinos. Former mayor los angeles antonio Villaraigosa is an example of the emerging latinocray. in the southwestern united states He is often found with a yarmulke at democrat fundraisers.
The point is the Jews cannot use the Latinos as easily as they can the Negroes, so if you will notice they tend to overrepresent Negroes in advertising and cultural promotion and underrepresent Latinos.
The difference here is that the Latinos/Mexicans have a foreign government and a power structure already in place and have for some time. The Negro has no such thing he is merely a front and an extension of the Jew. The Jew is going to approach an exitensial crisis with the Latinos because with the prevelence of Liberation Theology and such, you will only end up with Hugo Chavez types who tend to be ANTI-ISRAEL. The biggest project the Jews have in regards to Latinos is their destruction of the Roman Catholic Church. Without the RCC the Latinos will degenerate into madness, it is the only thing they hold dear and basis of their societies. The collapse of the RCC will throw all of Latin America into Chaos
You go taking about Satan’s kids over on Amurrikwan Renassants or elsewhere then yes, you will have trouble.

The reason that these people keep pushing this same BS about the sacred Constitution, which is meant to appeal to White nostalgia for the past, and are in such a panic about the potential rise of populist nationalism among Whites, is that the current system depends upon Whites staying loyal to it. Whites are the glue that keep it going. Once Whites in sufficient numbers lose loyalty to this system it will collapse under the very contradictions you pointed out.
If The Constitution was honored then the fat pig cardinal dolan in New York City would have a much harder time forcing PRE-VATICAN-TWO/PRE-NOVUS-ORDO traditonal Catholic churches to close and shut-down. How happy the fat pig was when Trump ended the roasting of Hellary at the Al Smith dinner. fat pig was sweating and fat pig was wiping the sweat off of his fat pig face at the Al Smith dinner where Trump ROASTED the other pig Hellary.
fat pig cardinal and the pig Hellary don’t want to close down all the islamic Jihadist mosques/madrashes in the United States, they don’t want to close down even one, let alone close down ALL of them, ALL the mosques/madrashes bankrolled by Erdogan and Saudi Arabia and Communist jews. The pigs just want to close down PRE VATICAN TWO/PRE-NOVUS ORDO traditonal Catholic churches, and of course, if they have their druthers, the pigs will also close down the Evangelical churches, the NON 501c3 NON-Zionist Christian churches.
Trump is the first presidential candidate to speak-up on behalf of Christians in America since William Jennings Bryant, and William Jennings Bryant was back in 1896, 120 years ago :
“You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns ; You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold”. [ Wm. Jennings Bryant ; “Cross of Gold” speech ]
Constitutional fetishism isn’t just a cuckservative disease.
Then again, cuckservatism is a pathogen that affects way many more people that we can fathom.
To me, it’s as simple as this:
PICK ONE (Limit 1):
( ) The Constiution
( ) White people
In the past, including the recent past, if I was given this choice, I would have nuanced the point and then chosen white people. Now, I don’t even feel the need to nuance. Anyone, especially any one of the sort that is reading these words, who denies we even have this binary choice is only lying to themselves, and anyone who tries to nuance this point is only wasting everyone’s time.
The Constitution that conservatives are nostalgic for died in the Civil War.
I’ll go you one further: It died at Marbury v Madison. And that was 1803. Which means it only lasted 16 years.
Some neoreactionaries go even further than that, and make the case that it was defective by design, that all that has happened since its implementation was inevitable, the only variable was precise years and proper nouns. And it’s hard to come up with a counterargument to that. Human nature seeks centralized power.
The Constitution would be valid if the polity and society it was meant to serve still existed. And we still had statesmen, instead of politicians. It was meant for Whites living in the American condition. It wasn’t meant to be all things, to all people.
Under the Articles of Confederation State Citizenship was supreme and it was understood states could make anyone a citizen regardless of race. The Confederation Governments power did extend over the Territories and in 1784 Jefferson and his crowd, although we supposedly fought the Revolution for our Life Liberty and Property and even though the Northwest Territory was Virginia Land, somehow believed that the US Government had the power to outlaw slavery there and also in the Mississippi Territory. Well the Mississippi Territory already had slavery among the Indians so they nixed that but they did outlaw Slavery above the Ohio.
The Founders seemed very confused on the subject of Negroes. They afforded them some status as STATE citizens as they were allowed to vote in 9 of the 13 colonies but they held slaves were somewhere between property and people they weren’t quite sure which they were. Jefferson seemed to think they were people although not the equal of whites which was how he believed it was legal to forbid slavery in the territories.
The Constitution of 1787 carried on this confusion as the Negroes were called Persons in the Slave Trade Clause. The Constitution also created this confusion of STATE CITIZENSHIP vs UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP. US Citizenship wasn’t defined clearly under our laws the Immigration Act of 1790 said that only Whites could become US Citizens yet this didn’t invalidate States making nonwhites citizens. The confusion continued on through the 1830s, Free Negroes were allowed to vote in all of New England but Conn and in New York if they had property and until 1835 they were allowed to vote in North Carolina and Tennessee.
Dred Scott had no power to deny citizenship as the Supreme Court could only suggest to the states, it had no direct power over them.
The Confederate Consitution WISELY created a uniform Confederate citizenship that all states had to agree to.
And if the queen has balls, she’d be the king.
Among the best articles on OD.
The Constitution, a dead letter but the (((Tribe))) and traitors turning USA into a dystopian nightmare use it as a cover of legitimacy for their evil deeds. Destroying legitimacy of the ruling elite is key and that’s the best thing Trump has been doing, win or lose election.
The Alt Right claims it’s the ‘vanguard’ of Trump’s movement. Trump supporters have zero interest in your ‘alternatives’ to the Constitution. They like due process, and majority rule. They don’t want your monarchy and oligarchy.
Boy, are you misinformed.
As soon as he’s in power, President Trump must proclaim himself Emperor.
To hell with the CON-stipation, if it gives power to Jews, Fags, and Niggers! America for Americans.
I suppose this is a good place to share some of my original art. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6563f4fb405993c786b6d6cf8d9c2896bed1cfd7eb4a630a84acc3382e754e9e.jpg
@Mr. Griffin…
Your very compelling case for the modern Constitution as being a vehicle for all anti-white, anti-male, anti-Christian, and anti-Southern forces leaves out one vital element, Sir.
While I absolutely agree with you as to how the document is being applied, I must say this “: no matter what document would or would not be, it, like monetary currency, is only as valid as a reflection of the faith, inclination, and actions of those who make use of it.
As long as the government that lays claims to protect The Constitution, chooses to use it in these anti-traditional ways, and we accept that, it will be so.
The Constitution is no more the ultimate arbitre of fate, than is any other document, but lives and breathes with the society in which it lives; and, as such, for those dreaming of a limited central government, it occupies an important symbol.
The symbol is not the issue, but, the society that mediates that symbol into practical reality.
Thank you, as always, Junius.

Pentagon demands return of cash bonuses paid to California soldiers for going to war a decade ago
October 24, 2016
FoxNews
The Pentagon is seeking to recover decade-old reenlistment bonuses paid to thousands of California Army National Guard soldiers to go fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
The paper reported that nearly 10,000 soldiers, many of whom risked their lives during multiple combat tours, have been ordered to repay the cash bonuses after audits revealed widespread overpayments by California Guard officials under pressure to meet enlistment targets at the height of the wars 10 years ago.
But soldiers say the military is reneging on old agreements and imposing severe financial hardship on those whose only mistake was to accept the bonuses, which amounted to $15,000 or more.
The Army asked wounded Iraq veteran and former Army captain Christopher Van Meter, 42, to repay a $25,000 reenlistment bonus it said he was ineligible to receive. He was also asked to repay $21,000 in student loan repayments.
Van Meter told the paper that rather than fight the Army he paid back the money after refinancing his home.
“These bonuses were used to keep people in,” Van Meter said. “People like me just got screwed.”
The Times reported that 48-year-old Army sergeant Robert Richmond, who suffered permanent injuries in an Iraq roadside bomb attack, is refusing to repay his $15,000 cash bonus. The Army contends he was ineligible to receive the bonus in 2006 because he had already served 20 years in the Army.
“I signed a contract that I literally risked my life to fulfill,” Richmond told the paper. “We want somebody in the government, anybody, to say this is wrong and we’ll stop going after his money.”
Investigations determined that fraud and mismanagement due to poor oversight contributed to the California Guard bonus overpayments, according to the Times.
California Guard officials conceded to the paper that taking back the money from military veterans is distasteful.
“At the end of the day, the soldiers ended up paying the largest price,” Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers, deputy commander of the California Guard, said. “We’d be more than happy to absolve these people of their debts. We just can’t do it. We’d be breaking the law.”
A pack of niggers attacked me last night, but ran away when I waved the Constitution at them.
