The Federalist Papers and analogous ant- Federalist Papers are a compilation of essays, letters, arguments and debates by the founding fathers in their quest to form a more perfect union.
One cannot appreciate the trials, tribulations, logic and wisdom that the founding fathers utilized in their quest for a system that assured the inalienable rights, property and freedoms of the INDIVIDUAL.
These communications allow the reader to see precisely their intent. They were all well versed in philosophy, history, economics and the frailties of the human psyche. They knew from experience the evils of the money changers (banks) and their evil alliance with monarchies.
Using their wisdom, genius and experience they forged the greatest documents for the control and guidance of government for the benefit of the individual, the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
In spite of the age of these documents and subtle language changes over the years, they are easy to read, understand and are as relevant today as they were when written, as they address the frailties of the human psyche that hasn’t changed since the dawn of history.
Nice post, Lynn. I agree with your thoughts about Gingrich and Ron Paul. I like Huntsman also, in terms of his knowledge and experience and his ability to communicate his thoughts and ideas on foreign issues, interests, and concerns. I like hearing Ron Paul’s ideas; I don’t see him being able to implement them and lead the nation. I don’t have any feel for Romney whatsoever. Some people minimize his $10,000 bet gesture at Perry, while others say it isolated him from the rest of the nation in a devastating way. It was tacky and inappropriate, and it was another example of a kind of nervous desperation about him. I don’t see strength or confidence in the man. They say that his biggest asset in becoming the Republican candidate is his funding, which will keep him in the race longer than the other candidates. That doesn’t lend to any confidence in the man either.
