The craft of creating legislation: a lost art
|
| Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La BrA de et de Montesquieu exhibits an incredible breadth of knowledge here. Today, at least in modern America, creating law has been the province of special interest groups who high-jack all the commissions responsible for assisting the legislature. Instead of creating law with an eye to serving the nuclear family by mitigating economic burdens and encouraging religious practice, laws today impose taxes on those who can barely make it, endorse sexual perversion as a legitimate candidate for marriage, give minorities privileges over caucasians (e.g., white people, except jews, cannot file discrimination lawsuits), censor the voice of religious people in the name of separation of church and state (removing the ten commandments in Alabama, barring nativity scenes, barring school prayer), and hypocritically mandate the celebration of menorahs in public places. It is clear that the law has been transformed into an instrument to assault Christians and benefit jews. Having read Montesquieu, the concept of social engineering through legislation is an abomination that needs to be purged from our modern culture. The comparison of Montesquieu with modern law making is like night and day. The object of the law has been thwarted to undermine Christian civilization as we know it. You don't see Montesquieu proposing laws that benefit money changers. For example, it was not till the advent of Roosevelt when the Federal Housing Administration was created to insure money lenders that they would get their market value in the event of defaulting debtors or fluctuating markets. It was in the advent of Woodrow Wilson when the private bank, the Federal Reserve, was permitted to make loans to the U.S. government to finance wars and give to Israel, charge us usurious interest rates, and shift the debt burden of this national debt on the American people. Montesquieu was not a democrat but proposed democracy as one form amongst many to practically govern a nation. It is for this reason he did not advocate a "system." First and foremost was a spirit to learn from the mistakes of the past, which is why he makes constant reference to foreign examples, such as Greece and Japan. Montesquieu would view our current system as an abomination. By catering to minorities, giving them something they want, the jewish party has consolidated their vote onto one platform thus giving the voting block of that platform greater force in politics. Modern American law has transformed America into a colony of Israel. |
