Quote by Gary Bauer

The Left regards the Constitution as defective and outmoded - in part because it impedes the government's ability to control institutions, like churches and families, which stand between the state and individuals.

The Left regards the Constitution as defective and outmoded

Summary

This quote suggests that the Left views the Constitution as flawed and outdated because it limits the government's control over intermediate institutions, such as churches and families, that serve as a buffer between the state and individuals. The Left may believe that these institutions create obstacles for the government to exercise its authority and exert direct influence on citizens. As a result, they may advocate for constitutional changes that grant the government more power over such institutions for greater control and regulation.

You have irrepressible pains whose essence is to be inadaptable to any known state, indescribable in words. You have repeated and shifting pains, incurable pains, pains beyond imagining, pains which are neither of the body nor of the soul, but which partake of both. And I share your suffering, and I ask you: who dares to ration our relief? We are not going to kill ourselves just yet. In the meantime, leave us the hell alone.

Human, and yet not wholly human -- for the most heedless and the most cynical must see the finger of the Divine.
