"In Europe charters of liberty have been granted by power. America has set the example...of charters of power granted by liberty. This revolution in the practice of the world may...be...the most consoling presage of its happiness."-James Madison, 1792
Orgasms R Us! We are the happiness society! Notice there how Madison reverses sexual practice (see below). Liberty is female; power is male. We are a female led society.

"The theory of politics...of the pre-Revolutionary years...what lay behind every political scene...was the disposition of power. The acuteness of the colonists' sense of [power] is, for the twentieth-century reader, one of the most striking things...[and] serves to link the Revolutionary generation to our own in the most intimate way."-Bernard Bailyn, Ideological Origins
I underlined the above from Bailyn and circled "intimate." Intimate? Odd word for the reader to encounter on the first page of Chapter III Power and Liberty: A Theory of Politics.
"The essence of what they meant by power was perhaps best revealed inadvertently by John Adams as he groped for words..." Circle "groped."
Wtf? to self.
"[Power]...was...for them as it is for us 'a richly connotative word': some of its fascination may well have lain for them, as it has been said to lie for us, in its 'sado-masochistic flavor..."
Underlined; margin note "What?"; circle "sado-masochistic flavor"
"...for they dwelt on it endlessly, almost compulsively..."
"Most commonly the discussion of power centered on its essential characteristic of aggressiveness:...endlessly propulsive tendency to expand itself..."
"Well you're the one with the dirty book" joke thought bubble.

"The image most commonly used was that of...trespassing. Power, it was said over and over again, ["compulsively," to self]...if at first it meets with no control (it) creeps by degrees and quick subdues the whole."
"Every move you make, every step you take..."
What makes trespass? Lack of consent. What makes rape?
"Sometimes the image is of the human hand, 'the hand of power," reaching out to [grab them by the pussy] clutch and to seize: power is 'grasping'...'what it seizes it will retain."
"Sometimes it is motion, desire, and appetite all at once, being "restless, aspiring, and insatiable."
"...the sphere of power and the sphere of liberty...The one was brutal, ceaselessly active, and heedless; the other was delicate, passive, and sensitive. The one must be resisted, the other defended..."

"...innocence and justice can only sigh and quietly submit." "Sex also!!," margin.
"Not that power was in itself...evil."
"It was natural in its origins, and necessary. It had legitimate functions foundations 'in compact and mutual consent"...as a result of restrictions voluntarily accepted by all..."
Footnote 4 page 58:
"Now, because liberty chastises and shortens power, therefore power would extinguish liberty; and consequently liberty has too much cause to be exceeding jealous, and always upon her defense. Power has many advantages over her..." (emphasis added) "Sex with check mark", margin.

"The implicitly sexual character of the imagery is made quite explicit in passages of the libertine libertarian literature, e.g.,...'the interest of freedom is a virgin, that everyone seeks to deflower'; if it is not properly protected '(so great is the lust of mankind after dominion) there follows a rape upon the first opportunity." (emphasis added) "*” in margin; "Liberty-Libertine" at bottom.
Like a virgin, ooh. Raped for the very first time

"...liberty, always weak, always defensive, always, as John Adams put it, 'skulking about in corners...hunted...in all countries by cruel power..." "Stalked" in margin.
"Liberty was...for the colonists...the interest and concern...only of the governed."
That is an important passage. Their fear was emasculation. The colonists, all men writing this shit, saw themselves as women, as the bitches for the British. They thought they were going to get bung-holed every time they went out to use the ATM (Louis CK). The colonists were homophobes but cross-dressers, too; they were paranoid that the British were going to bugger them, leave their assholes leaking sperm and hanging like wizard sleeves, making sitting down uncomfortable.
At the top of this page (59): "All of this thought on power and liberty and black slavery never is mentioned by them." And I think that is one of the roots of this sexual paranoia. The colonists had by this time thousands upon thousands of black men, black men chosen in Africa for their youth and physical power, their bodies, their power, all too visible to the colonists beneath their rag clothing, living among them while they walked around dressed like women in knee breeches. Footnote 8 p 149: " [British emissary Dr. John] Fothergill admitted...that there was a high degree of 'national corruption," [in England] which he explained...as a result of...the sensualism and libertinism generated by slavery that the West India planters brought back to England." Liberty-Libertinism.
At the beginning of the fifteen page section on slavery in the chapter The Contagion of Liberty Bailyn quotes John Dickinson and here the implicit connections among political power-sexual power-homophobia-rape-slavery are implicit to a transparent degree as to make them explicit:
"Those who are taxed without their own consent...are slaves. We are taxed without our consent...We are therefore--SLAVES." (italics and caps, Dickinson; bold, undersigned)
"This was not simply lurid rhetoric."
Pause: Bailyn, my God, all of this is the most "lurid rhetoric," one wants to take a shower after reading.* How in God's name can your write such garbage? Unpause.
"Slavery as a political concept had specific meaning which a later generation would lose."
By the time of reading this section I had long lost complete patience with Bailyn. That is simply not true; it is simply not true that slavery as a political concept had specific meaning" to eighteenth-century Americans" that "a later generation would lose." Untrue. Floridly, ludicrously UNTRUE. (pissed, by me).
"To eighteenth-century Americans it meant...'a force...by which a man is obliged to act, or not to act, according to the arbitrary will and pleasure of another."
"pleasure" circled.

The last section of Ideological Origins is titled "Fulfillment" (O! O! O! Was it good for you too?). After the revolting Revolution, pre-Constitution, "the central task was reversed." They wore reversible clothing. "Now the goal...was the creation...of...a government dominant over all other...diametrically opposite to the goals of the pre-Revolutionary years." ("Now you can't tell who is who can you?" "No.") They were cunnig cuntes. The colonists made the British crown "prisoners of their own device:" the intellectual and literary heritage of the common law, of Locke and Hobbes, of the Glorious Revolution, of Chaucer, Donne and Shakespeare, yes, of Hendyng too. Now they made their demands. The federalists now assumed manly clothing and used their new-won power to make prisoners of the anti-federalists who still stood, gaping, in their girls dresses. The new federal government, through its taxing (?)(I really wonder sometimes if subliminally these cuckolded perverts saw "tax" and read "sex")) power, the anti-fed "Brutus" wrote,
" will wait upon the ladies at their toilett,and will not leave them...will accompany them to the ball...sit beside them in their carriages...enter the house of every gentleman, watch over...follow...attend him to his bed-chamber,...watch him...watch...follow...haunt him...in his bed...observe...penetrate...it will address them...GIVE! GIVE!"..."This they too [federalists and anti-federalists]...continued to believe was the ultimate tyranny.""Sexual tyranny!", margin note.
I wanted to add this before being DONE with Ideological Origins.
