In Defense Of The Constitution Of The United States Of America

In Defense Of The Constitution Of The United States Of America

By pointing out the errors of past and present administrations, I am defending the Constitution of the United States of America. Some would call us conservatives, right-wing extremists, racists, dissidents and even terrorists; all because we don’t aggress with their ideas and, or actions.

“Dissent is the greatest form of Patriotism”; you could pay a high price of it!

Is the price worth it to you? It is to me and to the future of our great nation. I really don’t have a choice, because I understand what is happening. I realize it is easier for some to personally be silent, but it would be just like being in a burning building and not pulling the fire alarm.

“Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentleman wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?” – Patrick Henry – 1775

The oath that our soldiers, congressmen and president takes, also applies to ‘We the People’

The Oath of ‘We the People’

‘We the people’, do solemnly swear, (or affirm), that we will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that we will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that we take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that we will well and faithfully discharge our duties of citizenship, so help us god.

As average citizens we have taken the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ many, many times in our lives.

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and justice for all”

· Are you committed to the Pledge that you have taken so many times in you life?

· Do you love this country like our founding fathers did?

· Do you pledge your all to preserving this great nation?

· Do you do everything you legally can to uphold the truths and principles of freedom founding in both The Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution of the United States of America?

· Are you willing to take the Oath of ‘We the People’ and to live by it everyday?

As Thomas Paine said, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.”—September 11, 1777

And as James Madison said, “The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty”.

So please pledge allegiance again to this great nation. Take the Oath of ‘We the People’ and spread the knowledge and words of liberty and freedom. Our nation’s future, our children’s future and freedom’s future depends on it.

Has anyone reading this ever said the Pledge alone, not in that sing-songy way that we were taught in gradeschool? Try it. The words take on a whole new sound and the meaning becomes clearer.
After you do, you'll never want to say it the old way again.

Thats the problem with this administration of idiots. It says WE THE PEOPLE and senator Brown said it was the peoples seat, NOT a DEM/RE. seat. NOT our presidents seat.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that it's We the Corporations who get to pick political candidates, unless We the People can take up an awfully big collection to buy political ads on TV.

I knew those Activist Judges would put the final nail into the coffin of Democracy sooner or later.

The Oligarchy will continue to alternate Democratic and Republican presidents, but now they will completely own all of them.

When Bush was in office, we were "traitors" for opposing him. Now that Obama is in office you guys are "patriots" for opposing him.

More Conservative hypocrisy.
