That's not the ConstitutionThat I Knew

You do not have to be a student of the US Constitution to know that something is very, very wrong with the latest revelations in Barack Obama's views about our founding documents.

Should he be elected, Barack Obama would have to swear allegiance to the United States of America and to the US Constitution.

Now we have heard the audio tapes on redistribution and how he feels that our Constitution is "flawed", that "there is an enormous blind spot overlooked by the founding fathers", that they basically got it wrong and that a huge opportunity was missed during the civil rights movement to rectify the situation by the Warren Supreme Court.

Just how will Obama be able to take an Oath to defend America and our Constitution when he believes that both are fundamentally bad? Will he have his fingers crossed over the good book or maybe cross his toes inside his Patton leathers out of sight to his gallery of adoring fans summoned to commemorate his triumph?

I am not parsing words as he does. Obama is guilty by the preponderance of evidence in his words and in his actions in working to change the fundamentals of our country. He would admit as much before running for President. What he will not admit is that his change of redistribution
is social engineering, in other words socialism. In other words Marxism!

The beauty of our Constitution is the concept of limited government that keeps the power in the hands of "We the People" and does limit the power that the government can exert on us. This is not how Obama wants it to be at all.

How does Obama want to change us? He wants to "improve" our Constitution. He wants Justices that will interpret the Constitution to infer rights rather than preserve them. That one aspect would effectively seize power from the people and give it to a few unelected
justices to fabricate unimaginable law.

That is neither preserving or defending our Constitution, that is subverting it.

This outcome would be no different than an attack by a domestic enemy, the document is not just a political paper, it is our principles and our law. Obama thinks our Constitution is just a "paving political document" but is too flawed to be considered capable of basing our society on!
Why? It does not actively confer additional socialism solutions!

The "white executive does not want to pay taxes to inner city school children" and the government should therefore step in and make them! Does this sound like a statement from someone who is interested in preserving rights?

Redistribution of income mandated by a government is Marxism. Every society that has attempted to impose this system has ended up with a less efficient society with a more dependent citizenry, inflated prices, and high unemployment in comparison to our capitalistic economy.

This upheaval in the midst of an emerging global economy will wreck total and possibly permanent damage to our economy.

Not only should this man not be elected he should be banned from holding any elective office due to his extreme views and his expressed desire to attack our Constitution in order to change it or destroy it. This is tyranny, and must be stopped.

It is only responsible to have serious reservations on this man's allegiance to this country.
I am tired of the unwillingness to state this now apparent stance. Obama does not care for either our country or our Constitution as it is. His view is that our own Constitution is unjust and always has been!

The Constitution is our law and it has served us well to become the greatest country ever on the face of the earth! America has been the greatest defender of freedom and liberty throughout the world. America is the most generous country helping millions on the globel.

Obama doesn’t think this is a great country! Obama does not like our Constitution that is the very reason we have liberty and freedom.

Under Obama liberty and freedom lose.

The Unclear but Present Danger

Anyone that has not read the recent article from Townhall.com by Laura Hollis needs to do so.

I explained Obama's positions to my teenager this way.

I said in a couple of years you will be able to move out on your own and you would have the freedom to make your own decisions.

Do you have that plan?

Suppose instead of doing that you were required to live at home?

You will be taken care of and all your decisions will be made by us!
You will work but you will hand over your entire paycheck to us.
We will decide what you need.
We will decide if and when you need college and where it will be.
We will decide if and when you date.
We will decide if you drive and what you drive and where you go and who you see.
We will decide what stuff you have.

In other words you traded freedom for security.

Your decision was final....sorry!

Your friends at school that are ga-ga over Obama know this?

Protecting Liberty and Freedom

No arsenal ... is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.~ Ronald Reagan

Among the Ordinary Men

Liberty and freedom are always only a generation away from extinction if I paraphrase Reagan correctly. Reading the words of our founding fathers only confirms this.


Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams


As a stubborn house of unrepresentative legislators once again ignores the will of the people and leaves to campaign having pushed through a disastrous energy lock-up bill, I am reminded of this quote by John Adams:
"if the cause, the interest and the trust, is insidiously betrayed, or wantonly trifled, the people have a right to revoke the authority that they themselves have deputed."

Being an ordinary man, I believe I am hardly alone in seeing the need to revoke these obstinate
people the license for further representation of our will.

This Congress of course is counting on a media whom will re-frame the facts and control the "common knowledge" of the masses into something that fits into what they view as acceptable. This " re-information "of course also subscribing to the ideological standard most shared in their circle of elites, including the progressives, academia, and the truly creative.

Never mind that now, this repackaging has become so obscenely apparent that the lowly ordinary man (who is never taken seriously in the media) is now complaining loudly.

What do we know?

What can be more important than knowing the truth about our leaders before we elect them. We need to know all about them in both word and deed. The depth of the scrutiny needs to increase with the importance of the position. Media deciders cannot be allowed to include or omit only information which they deem worthy while dismissing the most of us who are the common man.
A re-framed picture that is so decidedly false, presented as to be someone mainstream, but who actually resides on the farthest outskirts of society and always has, is not a service to any free man.
Adams warns to watch for these impurities of information and the danger to liberty of losing sight of them.

We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.
They may wish to overlook the ordinary man but is us that have the right to decide and it is our obligation to be diligent. We will be.

Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge
among the people.
John Adams

We cannot trust the media to frame our information anymore but we
still need to
seek knowledge and be vigilant so that we may preserve
our liberty and freedom.

All opportunity sought must be accompanied by obligation and responsibility.
We must improve our general education and to instill a thirst for
truth in our children.

It is as true today as it was when John Adams spoke the words above.
