Just when I thought I knew most all of the far right, pro-fascist Web sites out there, I come across this rather new one that lays bare the threat to our liberties and makes imperative the need to retake the fields of Civics and Constitutional Law with an urgency that I have never seen.

If the title of the linked essay sounds dark, foreboding, and ominously familiar, it should: “America’s Founding Philosophy in the Declaration: God as Supreme Judge, Lawgiver, & King” is the exact, precise verbiage commonly used by the most ice-cold faction of the American Taliban that exists. It is the language of the Theonomists.

Try this on for chills: “It is a simple statement of fact that if God is ‘Sovereign,’ as the framers acknowledged Him to be, that law is inevitably the will of the Sovereign. The laws of God cannot be overturned by a two-thirds vote of Congress or even a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court.” These words were spoken by the ice cold late theocrat Howard Phillips, and interviewed by a man who insists that barbaric Old Testament death penalties should be carried out today.

Yep. That’s where you’ve heard this before.

MAGA conducts “teach-ins” all across the country for the express purpose of spreading revisionist American history and an upside-down, anti-liberty inversion of Constitutional law and theory designed to take away our freedom to live contrary to the “official national religion.” “Patriot Academy” offers complete, comprehensive materials and trainings to propagate MAGA’s claim that our country was really founded to be a religious state along the lines of Iran, and hosts political training sessions as well – all under the truly Orwellian tagline “Inspiring Liberty.”

Here’s just a sampling of the disinformation about the Constitution that MAGA is disseminating across America. Among these course materials is the following video excerpt: they claim that “there is no right to be homosexual” because it’s a “sin against God.” (As an aside: the hats that they are wearing bear the acronym “COS.” “COS” stands for Convention of States, a formal plan to abolish the Constitution as we know it.) And in this excerpt, they claim that our nation was never intended to be a free nation, but one that allows the union of church and state.

Here’s another clip in which the instructor argues that our Founders had intended government, including public schools, to indoctrinate children in the “national religion” – with the obligatory aside that “freedom comes from God and that we have a responsibility to God,” implying that we only have the freedoms that “God says” we have. Whose god? Their god, of course.

American Heritage Education Foundation, where the “God is Lawgiver and King” article appears, likewise makes educational materials bearing their (in)version of the Constitution freely available on the Web.

Howard Phillips had even founded a full-on, balls-out American-Taliban political party and had the gall to name it the “Constitution Party” with a perfectly straight face, despite the fact that their Stone-Age political views run counter to every single thing that the actual Constitution stands for.

And Dems stood by, sitting on their thumbs and doing nothing to counter this propaganda. The result is what we see today: A Republican Party that is as brutal as the “Constitution” Party aspired to be, maybe even more so.

These are the people who are well on their way to completely taking over the fields of civics education and “Constitutional” law in the broader public discourse. These people have audaciously claimed the Constitution as their own, even as their brutal religious politics are absolutely antithetical to its every guarantee. They claimed the Constitution for themselves and proceeded to spread bald-faced lies about it and about American history – and Democrats idly stood by and let them do it – unopposed.

Dems: YOU NEED TO COUNTER THIS, like RIGHT NOW, because at the moment, MAGA is completely running the table in “educating” the public on the Constitution. Dems NEED to regain the teaching, activist spirit that they excelled at 50 years ago.

I will begin countering MAGA’s anti-liberty revisionism of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in a new series, just as I did when I was young.

(By the way, President James K. Polk, in his 1845 inaugural address, said that “No union exists between church and state, and perfect freedom of opinion is guaranteed to all sects and creeds.” THIS inaugural address is what liberty sounds like, not the phony, empty “liberty” that MAGA is trying to dupe us all into.)

Stay tuned.
