My fellow Americans…
How is it that you are so ignorant of the very thing that set you free and is still doing so today...
No, not your guns, if you have them. I am specifically speaking of the Constitution. I am amazed that at the end of 2021 we are still arguing about President’s Trump impeachment and the 2020 Election Fraud and yes, there was fraud, a lot of it.
The Constitution, as was envisioned by the Founders, was meant to be a barrier to an overreaching, overbearing Government. It is our responsibility to keep that barrier in place and the Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment as a deterrent to a tyrannical type of governance.
So how is it that, so many Americans are, almost completely ignorant of what the Constitution says and how it applies to us? I know its easy to blame government run education for educating our children and turning them into dysfunctional and racist snowflakes but what stops the individual from reading the Constitution and/or the Federalist Papers or any book on it?
The US Constitution a reference guide
That’s a question which has plagued me for years. While I studied Government and American History in school, I never really understood it until I started reading about it. I read every book I could find, written not by so called Scholars that wanted to change it but by authors who still believed in what the US stands for.
Take the 2019 and 2021 assault on the Constitution from the House Democrats in form of impeachment. I “debated” for weeks on the Constitutionality of what the House did, and I have found that most of these people are completely ignorant not only of the process but the Constitution itself and how it governs the process.
This coming from not just the left but also from the right, the so called “Pure Conservatives”. They are just plain ignorant of what it says about the Separation of Powers and Co-Equal Branches.
Let me explain how this impeachment thing was supposed to work with a little background.
The Founders did not want one part of our Republican form of Government to have absolute dictatorial power over another, they would be just setting up another King, so they created the THREE BRANCHES of Government. The first branch, Article One, Congress was created and the powers they could have were established. (Note: the “could have” I will explain this later) .. then they separated the President and its officials in the Article 2 Powers and finally setup the Judicial in Article Three.
They firmly established that the THREE branches of Government were SEPARATE BUT EQUAL to each other.
Now take the Impeachment “inquiry”. The Congress specifically the House Democrats (Article One) decided to investigate the Executive (Article Two). While it was clearly political in nature, it was legal and well within their powers to do so.
The House then demanded that the Executive provide “witnesses” in their “investigation” and the Executive refused to comply.
So, an Article One entity demanded a thing from an Article Two entity and was denied.
Is their remedy impeachment? Well, if you listened to Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, most House Democrats and the Ultra-Right (NeverTrumpers/The Lincoln Project) the answer was a resounding……. YES.
The actual answer is…. NO.
This is where the third branch of Government comes in… the Judiciary. If the Congress wants a thing from the Executive, the Executive can say no.
Congress can then demand (subpoena) it. The Executive can still say no.
Up to this point the process is entirely legal and constitutional. Congress, if they wish to seek relief, is constitutionally bound to go the Judiciary (Article Three) for that relief. Here is where the House went off the rails and did not abide by the constitution and thus also failed to uphold their oaths of office. (are you really surprised any longer) ….
The Judiciary (SCOTUS) will then decide if the thing sought by the House is required by the Executive, if so, then the Executive must give it to the House... if not, the House gets bupkis... If the judiciary requires the Executive to provide to the House with whatever it sought, then AND ONLY THEN, is the Executive committing the act of Obstruction if the object is not provided, there is no such thing as Obstruction of Congress.
It is worth noting that the only branch of government that filed with the Judiciary was the Executive, thus it is the only branch of government following the constitutional path. The House did not.
What we are seeing today is the dream President Obama had, a constitution with positive liberties. Let me explain.
You see President Obama once said this:
“…the Constitution is “a charter of negative liberties,” which “says what the states can’t do to you (and) what the Federal government can’t do to you but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.”
This is the very definition of “transformative change” President Obama wanted. He wanted the governments (State and Federal) to manage your life by fiat. Once you start allowing government to take care of you the government can manage what you are allowed to have and allowed to do, and this is really important HOW MUCH OF A THING YOU CAN HAVE! You see if the government starts managing your life, income and wealth must be redistributive. Everyone must be equal Equitable to the lowest common denominator aka Socialism.
You see President Biden believes in Socialism, as do the rest of the Democrats, they openly admit it. AOC and Bernie Sanders have dragged the party so far left they are unrecognizable from just 10 years ago. Hillary Clinton in a campaign speech stated she was a 1920’s styled Progressive. The Progressive party in the 1920’s believed in Communism and later after that failed to gain traction, they moved to a Socialism platform.
This is what they are teaching your children in schools and Colleges across America. The video created by the Obama administration “the Life of Julia” was a prime example of how they see Americans living under a Socialist styled America. It was and still may be shown, to preschoolers and Elementary students across America.
A Synopsis of the Life of Julia
Do you recognize that the Life of Julia is exactly what the Democrats are attempting today? A birth to death aka Cradle to Grave dependence on Government. Do you believe this is just a Joe Biden/Barrack Obama/Democrat issue? Many Republicans believe they are the ruling class and know better how you should live your life too. You’ll see this again later.
The Framers wanted a Constitution made up of negative liberties. It was intentional and well thought out. They did not want the newly freed Americans to be dependent on Government, in fact, quite the opposite. They even stated exactly the powers the newly formed government can have in the 18 Enumerated Powers.
From the original organic Constitution….
1. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
2. To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
3. To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;
4. To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.
5. To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.
6. To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States.
7. To establish post offices and post roads.
8. To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.
9. To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.
10. To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.
11. To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.
12. To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;
13. To provide and maintain a navy.
14. To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.
15. To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;
16. To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.
17. To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings.
18. To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.
Any type of legislative or administrative activity or actions outside of the above limitations are null and void! Period. End of discussion!
These are the only powers held by our government all others like the Department of Education or the Department of Urban Housing etc... are UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Now I know there are many that believe the “Good and Plenty” clause AKA the “General Welfare” found in Article 1 Section 8 means the government can “do things” for the good of it’s citizens but the problem with that thought is the 18 Enumerated powers are the “things” the General Welfare described, those are the “things” the government is allowed to tax us to pay for… all other funds taken is confiscation and unconstitutional.
We as a people have allowed our government to run amuck and do as it pleased. Creating bureaucracies with our tax dollars that serve only themselves. The House impeachment of President Trump is not a result of a government out of control, it is merely a symptom of one.
What happened in the 2020 election?
The kabuki theater of Democrat politics is what happened, BLM/Antifa riots were designed to instill fear in suburban moms. The media was used and, in most cases, instigated a narrative that somehow, this was all one man’s fault. The media ran with the democrats talking points of Russian Collusion, perceived racist behaviors and illegal acts but consistently failed to provide even a small shred of truth or facts to any of the reports all designed to give President Trump an air of a tyrant/authoritarian racist imbecile, add in the constant drum beat from the likes of Adam Schiff and it all worked, throw in a completely new and disastrous system of voting and we now have a president that is everything the democrats claimed Trump was.
What have you done?
To the Biden voters, rather you were a Nevertrumper or seriously believed Biden was the person that could lead this country out of covid… LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. This mess is on you so why are you still blaming a former President?
Trump didn’t create this economy… you did.
Trump didn’t create the debacle in Afghanistan... you did.
Trump didn’t kill our energy independence… you did.
Trump didn’t create the inflation that threatens to spiral out of control… you did.
Trump didn’t create the division of America... yep you did.
You cannot just wash your hands of this and walk away... you created this monster, this leviathan of screw ups and spending that will bankrupt our future generations. I have to ask… is this what you really wanted? If so, why do you hate America… did you think you were owed something for existing and you wanted what you thought you deserved? Too bad butter cup life’s not fair… you will never be my equal and Biden and the rest will never make me equitable to you.
What does the Future hold?
WAR! Dirty, bloody war. If history is any kind of teacher, every single time this government finds itself in an embarrassing place they always find a threat to fight. Who that perceived threat is… is in question. With the DOJ and FBI being tasked to investigate and prosecute those White Supremist Domestic Terrorist known as parents, you know the ones who disagree with racist ideology being taught to their children. Throw in the unvax’ed and anyone who disagrees with this administration’s lockdowns and mandates and all together they are a larger threat then China and Russia combined. This administration has empowered the IRS to look at your financial history and hiring 10,000 new IRS enforcers, well you truly have a tyrannical government that is capable of just about any atrocity that one can imagine. (See Afghanistan)
We no longer have free and fair Elections, nor do we have a Justice system.
There were always two things you could count on as an American. One being able to control your government by electing local people who were responsive to you and knowing you can get justice if an injustice was done to you by your government.
That’s simply not the case any longer.
Big cities now control the election process. In most states, the big cities population far exceeds the rural counties and are populated mostly by liberals who uses and encourages government control of their lives...(see the Life of Julia) these are the participation trophy winners, the Socialism works Capitalism sucks, triple soy latte crowd. They have been taught that their feelings matter and if they get butthurt over some perceived slight they are to run to their safe space, call in the Social Media Mafia to get the person fired, ostracized, and kicked out of their community if possible, then they strut like peacocks, believing they made the world a better place.
These people vote for the very politicians that make the rules you have to live by and the more illegal aliens the government can bring in to dilute the rural vote the better, once they give amnesty to the millions already here that they let in, then your vote won’t matter, and they will have permanent power to decide what you can have and what you can do.
Go ahead tell me I am wrong.
How do you think Ilhan Omar, a Somali refugee, was voted into Congress from MINNESOTA? Simple, then President Obama took a few thousand Somalis, placed them into a small section of rural Minnesota to become a voting block then used it to put one of their own in Congress. That is the template being used today, allow as many illegals as possible and refugees into the country then spread them out into districts that are blueish red, so it then can be a reliable Democrat representative elected to Congress thus changing America forever.
Again, tell me I am wrong.
Did you know the democrats have tried Amnesty two times already by reconciliation this year? If the Senate Parliamentarian had not of stopped them there would already be 11-25 million new voters in America and more is coming, and the democrats have vowed to keep trying. Do you think 25 million plus new voters all voting for one party would change America’s political landscape? You bet it would, Joe Biden’s, Chuck Schumer’s and Nancy Pelosi’s for the foreseeable future and nonstop spending and economic mayhem until this country finally falls to its knees. (see Cloward and Piven strategy )
Do you think the courts will stop them? That seems highly unlikely with Roberts voting with the Liberals and most of the others to afraid of him to stand up. Justice is now what the politicians say it is.
