Founding Quote of the Week

With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.
- James Madison

Preamble of the Constitution of these United States.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, insure Domestic Tranquility, provide for the Common Defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States.

Failure of government to follow the Surpreme Law of the Land

We are experiencing the fall of our government as we know it. When legislators take the attitude that they know better our needs as a people,as individuals and communities then the representative government becomes defunct. When the elected turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the will of the majority to advance their own personal agendas then at that moment I would ask the question; Are we bound to follow the leadership of that government? You educate yourself and decide.

I do not ask that question lightly. I am aware that this administration takes a dim view of anyone that would have the audacity to question their leadership abilities and motives. I am also aware of the disdain that they have for the populace in general. Lies and deceit are the standard of this president and his staff. They think nothing of the truth. The truth is an inconvenience that need not be addressed. The mockery that is made of any group that takes a stand is nothing short of a revelation of their wicked prideful hearts.

So what is in violation according the Constitution and Bill of Rights?
Freedom of speech would be a start. To be mocked by the speaker of the house is evidence of either the lack of understanding that people have a right to ban together and speak out or (I believe this is the case) contempt for the Bill of Rights and its precepts. They demand respect but do not believe it is a two way street.
Article the third [Amendment I]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Then what about the right to peaceably assemble? Would not the reactions of leaders show an attitude that is prejudice. When sodomites can march on Washington and are considered a kind of heroes and stand in our capital perpetrating vile acts and nothing is said. But let a couple million Tea Party protesters show and we get a reaction of hate full of venom. Why would that be? Because we stand in the way of their brand of liberty. Freedom for them to change our form of government a socialism.

Article the third [Amendment I]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

People have been allowed to redress grievances many times during my life. The civil rights movement is one example. Now we have the Tea Party growing by leaps and bounds and the undercurrent is that socialist hope and change is NOT what the people want. They want less government not more and we want life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Not oppression, dictators, and heavy taxes funding things we don't support or believe in.

Article the twelfth [Amendment X]
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

There is no authority under the Constitution for these people to assume the powers that have been taken. Nor can the legally force people to associate in their healthcare or any other socialistic endeavor. Power is to the people not the elite. The Founding Fathers set in place safeguards that the people have the right to resist such changes that are not Constitutional and never to allow the establishment of an elite/ruling legislature or judiciary.

Section 9 No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

Founding Quotes from Founding Fathers.
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." Thomas Jefferson
"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny."
— Thomas Jefferson
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
— Benjamin Franklin (on the title page of An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania - 1759)
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
God Help America!
