Richard Dreyfuss Lecture on Civics (VIDEO)

November 18th, 2006 at 07:06 by MsUnderestimated

Tonight on Real Time with Bill Maher, the panel was naturally mostly made up of left-wing whack-jobs. The only semi-bright spot was Dana Priest of the Washington Post, but even she drifted from reality here and there.

Okay, Mr. Dreyfuss…. Civics is going to be taught again? Call me old fashioned, but when I was in school, Civics was a required class. I’m shocked, as are you, that it’s not anymore. Perhaps that’s what’s wrong with America’s youth. The unintended consequence of your state’s efforts to re-instate Civics as a class is that young Americans just might actually find out why they get the government they get. Would that be such a bad thing? I think if you don’t know jack schitt about Civics, you shouldn’t vote. However, I don’t want to be one of those disenfranchisers. Again, call me old fashioned; I think you should understand something about the American Political System before you’re allowed to vote.

But hey, that’s just me.

Too idiotic to transcribe, folks. Sorry… You’ll just have to watch the intrepid panel here.

    I commend Mr. Dreyfuss for his emphasis that our society truly needs enlightenment of a good civics lesson in order for all to become better citizens. It is a real shame that most Americans claim a citizenship that does not exist legally. A three judge panel, all of whom were citizens of one of the several States and not citizens of the United States, stated unequivocally that "there is no such thing as a citizen of the United States", see Ex Parte Knowles, 5 Cal. 300, 302 (1855). So why do Americans claim a citizenship that does not include the fundamental rights protected in the Constitution? They have been duped, as all have unwittingly registered to claim a benefit from the United States (social security) that the courts have repeatedly ruled allows the government to restrict or completely deny access to the courts. See Babcock, Tutan, Dismuke and other cases. How else can one file a writ of habeas corpus in court only to have the court change it into a motion whereby it rules that the motion is denied? Wake up People, you're not sovereign citizens until you regain your sovereign rights as a citizen of one of the several States.

    Think I'm wrong? Prove it with case law as you have no rights unless it is honored in the courts. And that is an entirely different story.

    Can anyone provide me an email address to pass on these vital case law cites to Mr. Dreyfuss? I am coming up empty handed as he is well insulated.

    Civics should NOT be an elective; it should be a required course. When I was in high school, Civics was a required course. Why shouldn't every American child grow up and be aware of how our government runs? After all, once they graduate, they are of voting age, and I'd hope they would be sufficiently educated to make the right choices.

    I'm all for Civics being a mandatory part of school curriculum today.

    Civics wasn't taught in my high school; it shouldn't be assumed that it IS taught everywhere. I took it as an elective course in college. Maybe Dreyfuss has something here.
