The Spirit of King George III live on CNN.

Live from New York! It�s King George the Third!!!!!!!!!

Brought to you by CNN!

CNN�s Piers Morgan, a British citizen, has been in the news lately for
his views on gun control. He�s for it.

He�s not so big on the U.S. Constitution.

As he made clear in this exchange with Breitbart�s Ben Shapiro. At one
point, Morgan picked up a booklet copy of the U.S. Constitution Shapiro
had brought with him, saying:

Morgan: ��you come in and brandish your little book��

Shapiro: �That�s the Constitution of the United States.�

Later in the show was this exchange as Shapiro made the point about
tyrannical governments turning on their own citizens:

Morgan: Are you saying you really believe your own government
is going to turn on you in a way that you require an AR-15 to
challenge them (garbled)�

When Shapiro says governments have in fact turned on people, citing the
French Revolution in the 19th century and the rise of Nazis and Fascists
in Germany, Italy, and Spain in the 20th century, Morgan is incredulous.

Stop here.

Shapiro did a superb job in making his case � but he left out one very
notable example of a government turning on its own people.

That would be, of course, the British government. And the tyranny
brought to American shores by Piers Morgan�s ancestors in the middle of
the 18th century.

By the sheerest of chance � Morgan�s selection by CNN as a replacement
for Larry King � America gets to see close-up the modern embodiment of
just how America and the United States Constitution itself came to be.

Let�s go back in time, shall we? Not to France, Germany or Italy or
Spain. But to America.

Let�s begin with an incident that took place on the night of March 5,
1770. An incident known in America as the Boston Massacre.

After endless provocations by the British government � more of which in
a moment � angry Bostonians gathered at the government�s custom�s house,
known in the day as the �King�s Chest� because it stored the revenue
from custom�s taxes. The mob � led by among others an African-American
runaway slave named Crispus Attucks � surrounded the lone British sentry
and began to taunt him. Reinforcements arrived in the form of British
troops. Insults were hurled by angry colonists who brandished clubs �
but no guns. A soldier was knocked to the ground in the turmoil � and
abruptly the command �fire� was heard.

In a blink, wrote Stanford University Professor John C. Miller in his
1943 book Origins of the American Revolution, �five Bostonians lay dead
or dying� � one of them Crispus Attucks.

Faced with an armed attack � by guns in the hands of the government �
Miller writes:

The streets echoed to the beat of drums and the cry of �To
Arms! To Arms! To Arms! Turn out with your Guns!�

Deciding the best course was to back off, the British commander on the
scene retreated until joined by an entire British regiment decidedly
armed with guns. Between the retreat and the overwhelming show of
British arms against an unarmed mob, the incident came to an end.

This may have been the first notable imprint on the American psyche of
the need for guns to deal with a tyrannical government � but it wasn�t
the last. Annually afterwards, the most prominent of Boston�s citizens
would deliver �The Boston Massacre Oration� � and these speeches were in
turn used to target the imposition of tyranny upon the King�s subjects
in the colonies. John Hancock, who would later famously fix his
unmistakably large signature on the Declaration of Independence,
delivered the Massacre Oration in 1774. Hancock went out of his way to
cite the government for tyranny, saying :

��.I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny.�

And there was no mistake: to fight government tyranny, the right to bear
arms was a necessary and fundamental liberty.

A little over one year after Hancock�s 1774 Massacre Oration, the
British army, in search of rebel stores of guns and ammunition, marched
out from Boston to Lexington and Concord. Warned by spies that the
government was coming to take their guns, the Americans were ready.

As British troops entered Lexington, marching in perfect formation in
their scarlet red coats, musket bayonets glittering, British Major
Pitcairn demanded in a yell:

�Disperse ye rebels, ye villains, disperse�.Lay down your arms.�

Which is to say, the government was demanding of its citizens that they
disarm themselves � or else.

To which the American Captain John Parker famously said to the armed men
of Lexington as they stared out at the British:

�Don�t fire unless fired on, but if they mean to have war
let it begin here.�

And so it did. Someone , a colonist perhaps, fired what would become
immortalized as the �shot heard round the world.�

So to return to the 21st century and Piers Morgan�s demand of Ben
Shapiro:

�Are you saying you really believe your own government is
going to turn on you in a way that you require an AR-15 to
challenge them ��

The correct answer is: Yes, Mr. Morgan. The Second Amendment is a
specific result of the conduct of your government, the British
government, in turning on your own citizens � which is what we Americans
were that March night of 1770 and that April morning of 1775.

But there was something else going on during this time period than just
the issue of guns and a tyrannical government. A something else that is
evidenced, in fairness to Piers Morgan, not just by a British TV host
for CNN � but is seen everywhere today by all manner of Americans.

Back in 1943, Stanford�s Professor Miller called it the problem of �The
English Mind.� In fact, Miller found the problem so striking he devoted
an entire chapter to the point.

What was the problem with the English Mind? Writes Miller:

One of the convictions most firmly planted in the minds of
eighteenth-century Englishmen was the superiority of true-born
Britons to the American colonists.

This is, in conservative eyes, the precise problem demonstrated by the
English mind of Mr. Morgan. But alas, this laughable sense of
intellectual and moral superiority that Miller once described as part
and parcel of the English mind in the 1770s is today a defining
characteristic not simply of Piers Morgan but of modern American
liberalism. Whether found in the phrase disdainfully describing the
America that lies between New York and Los Angeles as �fly over country�
or candidate Barack Obama�s description of those small-town Americans
who find themselves jobless that:

��it�s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns
or religion or antipathy to people who aren�t like them or
anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to
explain their frustrations.�

However it is exhibited, superiority, both morally and intellectually is
assumed by liberals today as the Brits of the 1770s once did in relation
to their colonists.

The latest target for all this � and in point of fact this target has
been around for some time even if the attacks are now intensifying � is
the U.S. Constitution.

Morgan�s scornful taunt to Ben Shapiro of the Constitution that �you
come in and brandish your little book�� is decidedly not a stand-alone.
Note this anti-Constitution tirade that aired just this past weekend on
the CBS Sunday Morning show hosted by Charles Osgood.

As our friends at Newsbusters have recorded, the exchange between Osgood
and a Georgetown University Law professor goes like this:

CHARLES OSGOOD, HOST: Is the U.S. Constitution truly worthy of
the reverence in which most Americans hold it? A view on that
from Lewis Michael Seidman, Professor of Constitutional Law at
Georgetown University.

LOUIS MICHAEL SEIDMAN, PROFESSOR OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AT
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY: �I�ve got a simple idea: Let�s give up
on the Constitution. I know, it sounds radical, but it�s really
not. Constitutional disobedience is as American as apple pie.

For example, most of our greatest Presidents � Jefferson,
Lincoln, Wilson, and both Roosevelts � had doubts about the
Constitution, and many of them disobeyed it when it got in
their way.

To be clear, I don�t think we should give up on everything in
the Constitution. The Constitution has many important and
inspiring provisions, but we should obey these because they
are important and inspiring, not because a bunch of people who
are now long-dead favored them two centuries ago.

Unfortunately, the Constitution also contains some provisions
that are not so inspiring. For example, one allows a
presidential candidate who is rejected by a majority of the
American people to assume office. Suppose that Barack Obama
really wasn�t a natural-born citizen. So what?

Constitutional obedience has a pernicious impact on our
political culture. Take the recent debate about gun control.
None of my friends can believe it, but I happen to be skeptical
of most forms of gun control.

I understand, though, that�s not everyone�s view, and I�m eager
to talk with people who disagree. But what happens when the
issue gets Constitutional-ized? Then we turn the question over
to lawyers, and lawyers do with it what lawyers do. So instead
of talking about whether gun control makes sense in our country,
we talk about what people thought of it two centuries ago.

Worse yet, talking about gun control in terms of constitutional
obligation needlessly raises the temperature of political
discussion. Instead of a question of policy, about which
reasonable people can disagree, it becomes a test of one�s
commitment to our foundational document and, so, to America
itself.

This is our country. We live in it, and we have a right to the
kind of country we want. We would not allow the French or the
United Nations to rule us, and neither should we allow people
who died over two centuries ago and knew nothing of our country
as it exists today.

If we are to take back our own country, we have to start making
decisions for ourselves, and stop deferring to an ancient and
outdated document.�

Say again that ending phrase from a law professor: The Constitution is
�an ancient and outdated document.�

Which is where we began.

What�s really going on here these days is a full-blown assault on your
liberty. By, among others, the Obama administration, its allies in the
liberal media like Mr. Morgan and CBS�s Charles Osgood and the law
professor Mr. Seidman. Those who have an endless na�vet� � or cunning �
about the corruption of power.

These people � and there are many more � are, as Mark Levin accurately
calls them, statists.

There is a reason they want to get rid of the Constitution in 2013. And
at root it is exactly the same reason King George III wanted to take
guns from the Americans at Lexington in 1775.

There is a reason the Obama administration is using the issue of
contraceptives as a shield to their real desire of forcing the Catholic
Church to violate their religious beliefs.

Or is using the shield of the NLRB to force the Senate to give up its
right to advise and consent on presidential appointees.

There is a reason President Obama is complaining that his agenda is
being blocked because of a particular fear. That fear? To Obama that
fear supposedly held by Republicans in Congress of being �punished on
Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh for working with a Democrat on a bill of
common interest��

Which is to say, in this latter case, the President is complaining about
the First Amendment. The Constitution. The First Amendment rights of Fox
and Rush Limbaugh are getting in the way of his agenda. The Constitution
being a document he has never held in high regard, as evidenced here
long ago when a 2001 audio tape surfaced in which Obama was sharply
critical of Warren Court because:

�To that extent, as radical as I think people try to
characterize the Warren Court, it wasn�t that radical. It
didn�t break free from the essential constraints that were
placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least
as it�s been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the
same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of
negative liberties. Says what the states can�t do to you.�

While Piers Morgan and the rest of those possessing what might be called
an �English mind� circa the 1770s may not get it, there is one more
formerly liberal American who does.

No less than the famous American playwright David Mamet gets it.
Channeling his inner Mark Levin with his writing here in the Daily
Beast, Mamet excoriates the President by saying:

Karl Marx summed up Communism as �from each according to his
ability, to each according to his needs.� This is a good, pithy
saying, which, in practice, has succeeded in bringing, upon
those under its sway, misery, poverty, rape, torture, slavery,
and death.

For the saying implies but does not name the effective agency
of its supposed utopia. The agency is called �The State,� and
the motto, fleshed out, for the benefit of the easily confused
must read �The State will take from each according to his
ability: the State will give to each according to his needs.�
�Needs and abilities� are, of course, subjective. So the
operative statement may be reduced to �the State shall take,
the State shall give.���

The Constitution�s drafters did not require a wag to teach them
that power corrupts: they had experienced it in the person of
King George�. This (The Declaration of Independence) is a
chillingly familiar set of grievances; and its recrudescence
was foreseen by the Founders. They realized that King George
was not an individual case, but the inevitable outcome of
unfettered power; that any person or group with the power to
tax, to form laws, and to enforce them by arms will default to
dictatorship, absent the constant unflagging scrutiny of the
governed, and their severe untempered insistence upon compliance
with law.�

In his own way, Piers Morgan is a walking advertisement for the U.S.
Constitution. So too Charles Osgood and law professor Seidman. His �
their � determination in 2013 to strip Americans of their Constitutional
rights is the usual thinly veiled disguise of corrupted power. Identical
to the same desire of the British troops who showed up one fine April
morning of 1775.

This argument isn�t about guns.

This argument isn�t about contraception. Or the NLRB.

This argument isn�t about Fox News or Rush Limbaugh.

This argument is about liberty. Freedom.

And whether it�s King George III and his redcoats in 1770 and 1775, or
whether it�s Piers Morgan sitting on the set of CNN in 2013, the reason
for the Constitution is to protect liberty.

To protect Americans from the corrupted power of the State and an
assault on their liberty.

Americans have been here before. Piers � long before.

We remember why, too.

Why this is marked as abuse? It has been marked as abuse.
Report not abuse
There has not been a public Brit worth a shit since the late Duke of

Isn't it ironic that liberals today align themselves behind a Pied Piper
from England that stands against the fundamental freedoms that caused the
Colonists to separate themselves from the monarchy of England. Who gives a
rat's ass that Piers is against anything that's American at its core?

It's one thing for Americans to stand against the Constitution, but when a
foreigner comes around to stand against it, he should pack his bags and keep
moving. When Mr. Morgan makes his application for citizenship, it ought to
be denied. "Come here and brandish your little book," indeed. What a bafoon.
How he ever got hired by CNN is beyond me. There are plenty of ultra
leftists that are also Americans that CNN could have hired to fill Larry's
timeslot.

The latest steaming pile from a foreigner comes from Canadian Jim
Carrey, who apparently believes that the life of anyone who owns a gun
is worthless.

He tweeted last week:

Anyone who would run out to buy an assault rifle after Newton
massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth
protecting.

So, Piers Morgan is doing nothing mere than exercising his 1st Amendment
rights when he calls to trample the 2nd Amendment, is that how it works?

I Love Lucy and Leave it to Beaver and Big Bang Theory and the entire Rambo
series are TV. CNN is Media. Media is supposed to be accurate. More
correctly, CNN is news. News should be made by the events being covered, the
events being covered should not promote the agenda of the company presenting
the news.

Actually, yes. That doesn't make him correct or pronouncing universal
truths. It simply means he can speak on whatever he wishes as long as it
isn't slander or inciting riot.

However, as a cable channel, they can show political punditry shows just

The 1st Amendment is not called 'freedom of speech'. It's called the 1st
Amendment and it encompasses the right to free expression, the freedom
of the press, the non-establishment clause, the free exercise clause,
and the right of free assembly.

It's actually the most determinative part. All aspects of the 1st
Amendment are restrictions on government action. It has no bearing or
legal effect on interactions between private parties.

Supreme Court held that a public figure had to show actual malice in
order to recover for intentional infliction of emotional distress as a

Not sure what you think that proves. Defamation law is essentially one
person asking the government to punish another for their bad speech. Since
*government* restriction on speech is implicated in defamation cases, so is
the 1st Amendment, and defamation law has to square with the requirements
of the Constitution.

How about "escalated". You and I might have a dispute. It could lead to a
fist fight...or if one of us had a firearm it could become something else.
Add in a semi-automatic and poor aim and it could lead to many deaths in a

The ability to collect damages in a defamation lawsuit, including in
Gertz, stems from laws passed by government. BTR1701 is correct.

I believe there are only two restrictions in the Constitution that
apply to private parties. What are they?

It does nothing of the sort. All you did was just cite another
defamation case. I'll reiterate, since you seem terminally slow:

Defamation law is essentially one person asking the government to
punish another for their bad speech. Since *government* restriction
on speech is implicated in defamation cases, so is the 1st
Amendment, and defamation law has to square with the requirements
of the Constitution.

Oh, and that comment you think it disproves... I didn't even say that.
Someone else did.

The "left-wingers" are not mocking the Constitution. They are presenting

A baseball bat would have worked quite well.
So would 3 foot 1" rebar, or steel pipe.

All he would have to do is go into a classroom, whack the teacher and then
whack the kids
I China and japan. people like Lanza use knives..
Seems to work quite well too...

Now reverse the situation
If teachers and staff of that school had not been disarmed and any one of
them was armed, how long would Lanza have lasted ?
Particularly when you consider he offed himself when the police showed up ?
Would he even have gone to that school had it not been a "Gun Free Zone" ??
The shooter in Aurora Co, had 7 other cinemas, closer to his home to choose
from. He ignored them and instead went the distance to the cinema that WAS a
"Gun Free Zone"..

No, he means without a government law permitting one private party to

"Since *government* restriction on speech is implicated in defamation

So, when above he said "government involvement" he did not mean "a
court" as you claimed. He means "defamation law".
