Editor's Note: Ed Tait is the founder of edtait.com, a blog dedicated to sharing information about the United States, a unique and grand experiment, which was founded by great men. On his website, Tait defines what Ronald Reagan referred to as "The Shining City On A Hill" whereby rights are endowed to men from their Creator, not government. Tait highlights parallels to America's departure from the vision of the Founding Fathers and rights provided to citizens of the former USSR. Tait's posting below contains excerpts from the former Soviet Union's Constitution of 1936. The similarities between the former Soviet Union's Constitution--which came from the evil minds of Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky and other Communists--mirror some of the values held today by America's far left and should send a chill down the spine of all who cherish freedom.
