Because of the culture of colonial America, the domination of Common Law from England and its ability to convict folks at will, the Constitution is designed to protect the perp, to make sure someone is guilty. Our judicial system is based on these principles. It has been so misused by today’s government.

This is interesting. I’m not a student of law so have never really stopped to think that other countries go about their justice in very different ways.
Although, we’ve got a two-tiered justice system now, and most likely certain areas are de-facto run by Sharia law.
Yup, the “Great American Experiment” is that a nation can exist with any number of cultures in it. Are we creating another Tower of Babel challenging God?
The Founders would have said to that, What the fuck are you talking about? That whole mindset is much later spin. They revolted against England for themselves and their progeny, not Blacks, American Indians, or Jews.
Yes, this "Great American Experiment" is a fanciful notion dreamed up by someone in an ivory tower, safely insulated from the mayhem that lifted him to his elevated position, and also safe from the mayhem he is propounding.
The "Founding Fathers" were concerned about the rate of German immigration as they didn't think that such a foreign culture could or would integrate into our English society. Were they dreaming of a rainbow utopia with endless flavors of ethnicity, culture, gender, and "life-style choices"? I don't think so - but that is what we are told, and that is what we must believe.

Yes, the Irish and the Catholics were bad enough. But the Catholic colony, Maryland, got on board so they must be tolerated. But fucking Germans?
