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.

Health care was bought through the Senate.....

Note I said the so called healthcare reform was BOUGHT(it wasn't a typo) through the senate by Harry Reid D-NV and his crooked minions. sen Ben Nelson D-NE I am sure was bought off just as was Mary Landreau D-LA and others. With overwhelming citizen opposition the socialist/marxist bill passed today. To add hurt to injury the vote buying was also paid for by the Tax Payer.
The Founding Fathers would be calling for revolution and a dismantling of this government.The Constitution has once again been ignored and the governed have been trampled upon.

I am not sure what all the ramifications are and believe we cannot know all due to the secret underhanded way it was constructed and passed or how much leeway it gave to bureaucracy. Where is the promised transparency? Only EVIL has to hide in the darkness and only Truth can be bold and open. It is a sad day in this nation. The Framers of the Constitution intended that bills before the congress would be long drawn out debates. The complicated process put in place was to allow time for the dirty little secrets to come to light and be removed. Time for the people to react and fight. The reason for this push to vote before Christmas was to give the crooked ones an excuse before they went home to face the people. We should not let them rest the whole of Christmas vacation. Shame on them and shame on us that sat by and did not stand up.

Text from the Declaration of Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;

Founding Quote from Founding Fathers
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
John Adams

I will end here lest I say something that will reveal the total sum of my indignation and the anger that I feel in my heart. We the people have been ignored so blatantly that I fear it is a sign that tyranny is not only a possible end but has already arrived. I fear the arrogance that has been allowed to permeate among the branches of government has become a religion in itself,a religion of humanism and greedy hunger for power It is an evil that has entered their hearts and blinded their minds.

Romans 13:11,12 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge;

If the people of this nation do not rise up now and demand a return to the Constitution and the Biblical principles upon which it was founded, it will be lost forever. Then our grandchildren will never taste of true liberty.
