What was the purpose of the founding of The United States of America and the creation of its Constitution? Before the migration from Europe to this newly discovered land, all people of the civilized world were ruled by Kings. Even the early established states of this new land were ruled, as a colony, by the King of England.
Then something very profound and monumental took place, the American Revolution, a war for the freedom of man. A group of men bent on their desire to be free and rule themselves in a land where the government answered to the people and not the people answering to the King and his court, rose up and risked their lives and fortunes in an attempt to end government dictating to, taxing at will, and over regulating the people. Through the shedding of their blood and fortune, the American Republic was born, an experiment in self government. As you know, the opening shot fired in that revolution was called “the shot heard round the world.” It was so called because it was a rebellion against, not only the King of England, but against mankind being ruled by kings.
Kings and dictatorial leaders all over the world heard that shot. They heard the shot that proclaimed that men were now in rebellion to being subjects of a government, or king, and willing to challenge it.
We Americans celebrate on July 4 every year, the marking of American independence from England and its king, a very radical departure from governments which prevailed all over, “round the world,” at that time, and for thousands of years before. Never before in those thousands of years had the rule of kings ever been challenged. Kings challenged each other, but never had the people challenged the kings and their rule.
Is the United States of America an exceptional country? Barack Obama stated publicly that he didn’t think it is. I here quote Thomas Sowell, “You couldn’t be more exceptional in the 18th century than to create your fundamental document, the Constitution of the United States, by opening with the momentous words, 'We the people…'"
Those three words were a slap in the face to those who thought themselves entitled to rule, and regarded the people as if they were simply human livestock, destined to be herded and shepherded by their betters. Indeed, to this very day, elite who think that way, and that includes many among those who regard themselves as the educated and enlightened class, as well as the Liberal news media and political messiahs, find the Constitution of the United States a real pain because it stands in the way of their imposing their will and their presumptions on the rest of us. Barack Obama stated in an interview on network TV two weeks ago "The founders made it very hard to change things as quickly as I want to." He also stated in a public speech, "If congress doesn't do what I think is necessary, I won't wait on them, I'll do it anyway." Never before in American history has any president issued as many executive orders ignoring congress and the Constitution as has Barack Obama.
A campaign was started many years ago under Woodrow Wilson, and continues today, to undermine and discredit the United States Constitution. Those efforts are headed by the Progressive Liberals (Socialists) both in our news media and our federal government, and they are led, among others, by George Soros and Barack Obama and the Czars with which he has surrounded himself.
The managing editor of
Time Magazine, Richard Stengle, in an essay he wrote is a case in point, where he writes, “If the Constitution was intended to limit the federal government, it certainly doesn’t say so.” Mr. Stengle, I would like to direct you to the Tenth Amendment of that document, for apparently you have not read it. It reads, “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 the people.”
“We The People” cannot legally stop George Soros or Richard Stengle, or the liberal news media from speaking their poisoned rhetoric, for the very constitution they wish to destroy protects their right to do so. However, we can remove Barack Obama from his position of leadership. That same constitution gives us the precious right to do so.
Our Constitution was written to create a framework for government—and the Constitution of the United States was designed to keep the government inside that framework. In other words, the Constitution exists for the purpose of limiting the powers of the Federal Government.
“Does the Constitution matter?” “If it doesn’t, then your freedom doesn’t matter either.”
America, we are on a collision course with full-blown Socialism.
May God bless America and keep us free.
