Commonwealth
Ideas of the commonwealth
Mandy Patinkin and Ken Burns gave an interview suggesting that Benjamine Franklin promoted a progressive socialist common wealth. Mandy Patinkin gave a stirring speech about “no taxation without representation” and Benjamine “Wanted a voice in our government.” These and other statments were misleading like the “We the people stimulus package” by actor Bob Basso imitating his version of Thomas Paine still available on YouTube.
I could not believe how people thought his stirring speech was a good thing because they did not listen to what was actually being said.
I made a video as a part of a series "SSSeries at HHC" -commenting on that nonsense stating that Bob Basso tea party is Not My Tea Party https://youtu.be/pQKDrx9KQ0k
Bob Basso's video was full of bad and false ideas to numerous to mention them all but included Democracy mentioned many Abolish the electoral college and universal service which is slavery. Basso and Ken Burns are progressive socialists with bad ideas that "will steal your rights through ambuscade".
Ken Burns’ and his view of the commonwealth sounds like the One Purse of Proverbs 1 or with the proverbial dainties of Rulers of Proverbs 23
Democratic Party are the ones who want to entice you to consent to one purse but the Republicans are not much different. They are the Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Agreed to have a battle; For Tweedledum said Tweedledee Had spoiled his nice new rattle. Just then flew down a monstrous crow, As black as a tar-barrel; Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.Legal dictionary by Farlex says commonwealth means:
- an independent country or community, especially a democratic republic.
- a community or organization of shared interests in a nonpolitical field:
Commonwealth has several different meanings and can refer to a federation of states like Australia or the American States when it was a confederation.
Commonwealth combines the word common and wealth as in “the condition of being happy and prosperous”.
- COMMONWEALTH, government. A commonwealth is properly a free state, or republic, having a popular or representative government. The term has been, applied to the government of Great Britain. It is not applicable to absolute governments. The states composing the United States are, properly, so many commonwealths.
- It is a settled principle, that no sovereign power is amenable to answer suits, either in its own courts or in those of a foreign country, unless by its own consent. 4 Yeates, 494.
- The style and name of the state is The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The government is distributed into a legislative, executive and judicial power.
