Americans 'Scared' of the Words of the Framers?

It would appear that many Americans today are 'scared' of the direct words of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution.

Why would this be?

I provide 2 possible explanations today in my column at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

It seems I sparked a heated debate that has been raging at my Examiner site and at Digg. Be sure to click on the link above, read it, comment if you wish, and pass it along to others.

And thank-you very kindly for all of your support in recent days. I am deeply grateful.

Another reason might be #30 of the 45 Declared Goals of a Communist Takeover that was read into the Congressional record in 1963 -- "Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the common man."

Obama has committed #3, #16, #27, #29, #31, #32, #36 and #36 just in the last year.

There's one other possible answer: they don't want to be reminded of the Founders' words, simply because it makes them feel guilty. The Bible tells us that workers of darkness hate and fear the light.

Perhaps it is the notion that they might, some day, be required to pick a side, stand, and deliver, that terrifies them.

They could use a good dose of John Stuart Mill.
