Unwritten Constitution Under AssaultBy Thomas E. BrewtonIn the United States and Great Britain, immigration abetted by  multiculturalism is corrupting society's unwritten constitution,  which is the positive embodiment of the spirit that animates a  society and gives it a driving force of unity in belief and national  aims.No society can survive without a consensus about right and wrong,  about what constitutes moral conduct.  That consensus is the  unwritten constitution of society, ( http://www.thomasbrewton.com/ index.php/weblog/Core-Principles/ ) the content that gives meaning to  a written constitution, the meat on the bones of the structure of  government.Without that consensus there can be only a disparate group of people  with little or no attachment to their new homes.  That is what we see  increasingly, here and in Great Britain, under the impact of a  tsunami of immigration from alien cultures and religions.Combining this huge flood of immigration with a liberal-progressive  ethos of rootless multiculturalism sets the stage for disintegration  of American and British societies more effectively than terrorist  attacks by Islamic jihadists.  No longer is education viewed as a  melting pot to teach   our history and the principles of our government.Without the pre-existing unwritten constitution of 1776, which  Jefferson said was the source of his words in the Declaration of  Independence, our written Constitution has become vulnerable to  distortion by activist judges and liberal-progressive educators.In Great Britain, the danger is even more acute.  England has no  single written constitution, depending instead upon various  documents, commencing with Magna Carta in 1215, and long preserved  traditions that circumscribe political power and social interaction.To see what happens when liberal-progressives impose standardless  "tolerance" and multiculturalism on a society, read Theodore Dalrymple's"A Confusion of Tongues: Why Britain struggles to assimilate  immigrants."( http://www.city-journal.org/2008/18_2_otbie- immigrant_assimilation.html )Judeo-Christian traditions of right and wrong underlie the unwritten  constitution that prevailed in 1776.  Those traditions taught  generations of Americans that every person should always do his best  to do the right thing, even if doing so did not benefit him  personally.  A flood of judicial decisions since the 1950s reveals,  however, that doing away with precepts of right and wrong is one of  the primary objectives of liberal-socialism.The "me" generation of the Baby Boomer era were taught that the only  standard is immediate gratification of their sensual urges.  Hence  today's generally accepted belief that sexual promiscuity, murdering  babies via abortion, drug abuse, biological fathers abandoning  partners and the children they father, and living off the welfare  state are acceptable life styles.Our liberal-socialistic educational system goes to great lengths to  teach students that the only important virtue is what liberal- progressives call "tolerance,' which amounts to saying that there are  no standards of any kind.  Liberals' version of scientific truth  flatly rejects what they call value judgments.  John Dewey's  philosophy of pragmatism says do whatever you can get away with.   Cheat in school and cook the books in companies like Enron and Tyco;  dump substandard mortgage loans into packages of supposed  creditworthy loans.  If it works for you, that is the only test of  validity.It is not essential that a cohesive and successful political society  have a written constitution.  But no political society can exist for  long without an unwritten constitution.  The idea of a written  constitution is, in fact, fairly recent in world history.  England's  constitution is not a single document, but a large collection of  acts, declarations, and traditions.  So long as the English people  preserved reverence for and clear recollections of traditions,  England remained the dominant world power.  Just as in the United  States, the unwritten English constitution began to disintegrate  under the corrosive effects of its 20th century socialist labor  governments.Without the unwritten constitution, a written constitution is mere  form without content, the state of affairs that came to prevail in  the United States during the 20th century.  Knowledge of the  unwritten constitution is essential to preserving the intent of the  written constitution, because words taken out of context can be  misinterpreted by liberal enemies of society.Today, after seventy years of liberal brain-washing, American  students know almost nothing about our history and traditions, which  means that our unwritten constitution is falling apart from lack of  maintenance.  The United States has become a large collection of  competing special interest groups, each heedless of the common good  and intent upon getting as much as possible of government handouts.   American society has become the equivalent of road kill being picked  clean by buzzards and crows.Thomas E.
