March 15, 2010 — It would behoove those who have never really sat down and read our Bill of Rights to do so. The Bill of Rights is actually the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which is the guiding principles upon which this nation is founded.
If you notice, I said is founded rather than was founded. This is because any Constitution is intended to be the fundamental guide by which all laws and actions are performed by the legislators that run the country. The Bill of Rights is part of the underpinnings of this nation and should be adhered to no matter whether it’s been 225 years or 400 years.
If you noticed, I did not use the word RULE in the paragraph above, but rather RUN. This is because far too many legislators in the United States have the idea that they actually RULE as in a dictatorship. Oh, they may rule for a time, but the people of this nation, once they figure out what the deal is will put a stop to that Congressman’s ruler-ship.
We The People
REMEMBER, the masses are only ruled by consent, and this is why it’s taken this long for the hard left that’s now in office to get even this far. They’ve bent the rules and trashed the Constitution at every turn.
What they’ve also done is to suggest that our Constitution and Bill of Rights are “living documents” that can be changed at the drop of a hat. This is not what our founding fathers intended–it’s not true, never was, and never will be. Don’t believe them, they speak with forked tongue.
My advice is, if you’re a Congressman and you want to rule a nation, go to Russia or the United Kingdom, but please stay out of Washington. We have enough of you for one country to deal with.
Limiting Federal Powers, a Necessity Then as Now
And finally, the intent of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to limit federal powers against the states. It defines these limitations by also defining state and citizen rights.
A good example of this is Amendment 2 where it says: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. It’s simple, plain to the point, and very easy to understand. More than that, the early settlers and pioneers had to have weapons to survive. Even as a child I can remember that the accepted intent of this amendment is to guarantee our right to own and bear arms.
The very idea that citizens are not entitled to bear arms is false. Not only is it false, but those in position of leadership who would have you believe otherwise should be looked upon with suspicion. What other motives can any legislator have in this regard but that of tyranny and hardship for their citizens?
Why would any legislator seek to eliminate the 2nd Amendment other than they have something in mind that they know the people of this nation will not appreciate? Their effort to disarm us is merely an effort to assure their own safety when that time comes. Wake up, read the Bill of Rights, and then tell your Congressmen in both parties to follow our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
