The Resistance Library Podcast: The History of Constitution Day

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and Dave discuss Constitution Day. Constitution Day is a dual observance: It celebrates both the day that the United States Constitution was adopted, as well as honors naturalized citizens of our country.
 
Prior to 2004, the day was known as Citizenship Day. Its name was changed due to an amendment attached to a spending bill by Sen. Robert Byrd.
 
While there was an archaic form of the holiday first celebrated in Iowa schools in 1911, a movement to adopt the day was advanced by the Sons of the American Revolution. This organization appointed a committee to lobby for the day that included figures such as then-Vice President Calvin Coolidge, John D. Rockefeller, and newly minted World War I hero General John J. Pershing. However, the origins of the day actually lie in the late 1930s.

Yeah, one of you really should have read The Federalist Papers before yammering on about Constitution Day for almost an hour.
No they didn't eventually "become republicans". They were written mostly anonymously and posted in newspapers because the document that
we now throw around so casually (The Constitution ) was going directly against the Confederate States Constitution.
The authors of The Constitution were literally going against the established government and anonymously making their case to the public through the Federalist Papers.
 
-So while you ( and your type) are concerned about being "canceled" for saying the wrong thing, they were putting their lives on the line with each signature
--- you are not the same.
 
Freedom of the press, free speech, protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to bear arms---those were very much written to protect themselves as well.
They were building liberty with themselves as the use case.



Even with the right to bear arms extended to AKs and ARs to protect us citizens against "the government"----our government has tanks and bombs.

They had them in Vietnam and Afghanistan as well.

It's a shame how the conservative right has [d]evolved in our country. A conservative approach to governance would have been the right direction for the expansion of liberty.

Instead we have "conservatives" like you who are concerned that we have too much inclusivity with a yearning to belong to something more exclusive.
You should ask yourself what that's really about?

Applying the 2nd amendment to any cache of currently legal weapons as an effective resistance to our own government is ...  silly.



A radicalizing left arming themselves and becoming a militant force against a woefully, willfully ignorant, ridiculous right:
 I pray to god regarding that frequently. (man's inhumanity to man)

the constitution is a joke at this point many states violate it openly and freely... very sad to see
