Restoring our History Series - The US Constitution (Part 2)

“If we fail there will no place to go.  America is the last bastion of true freedom in the world!”  …Ronald Reagan

The Enemy to our State is the Progressive Movement!!

The Founding Fathers gave us a perfect map to follow in 4-pages… the American Constitution,  4-pages is all it took our Founding Fathers to create the structure for the freest nation in history.  They rewrote the Federalist Papers into a 4-page document that inspired the world.

They decided on a Republic as the vehicle.  A democracy was further down the list than a monarchy, which they hated and had just freed themselves from, yet for years the Progressive have pushed the notion of a democracy verses a Republic.

And the Founding Fathers searched for the perfect leader for the first President of the United States, George Washington. (Our president under the Articles of Confederation was Charles Hansen.)

Beck has two of the Constitution’s greatest defenders as guests:  David Barton and Judge Andrew Napolitano.

The Founding Fathers believed in limited government and laid out 5 purposes of government:

1. Acknowledge and adore God

2. Exercise frugality

3. Restrain the infliction of injury

4. Encourage entrepreneurship and free enterprise

5. Protect property and the Earnings of Citizens.

Those 5 plus defending the United States is the really the total job of the federal government.

The 17th Amendment changed the way the Senate was chosen.  The Progressives wanted to take the States out of the picture.

The 20th Century has been a disaster for the Constitution because of the Progressive Presidents:  Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and FDR.

Wilson changed the relationship between individuals and the Federal government.

FDR ushered in an era of central economic planning… much like his counterpart Josef Stalin, which defies the Constitution and we are suffering today from the seeds these Progressives planted.  But let us remember that not all Progressives were/are Democrats… Teddy Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover were Progressives.  But over the years, even though there are Republican Progressives as well, the Progressive Movement has taken over the Democrat Party.

Presidents who were defenders of the Constitution were Grover Cleveland, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

Was the Constitution a slavery document… absolutely not. Frederick Douglass was adamant that it was because at its inception it counted slaves as 3/5 of a person and it angered him.  But after reading the Constitution and reading the notes by the Founding Father’s on their thinking about this subject, he realized that it was exactly the opposite.  It was written to encourage the Southerners to abolish slavery to get representation.  Great book on Frederick Douglass and his relationship with Abraham Lincoln is Giants.

James Madison is often considered the father of the Constitution, but that actually isn’t true.  It s writing was truly a collective group proposition.  The Founding Fathers set up the bi-cameral Congress and the electoral college which is often misunderstood because of misinformation.  Progressives would like to get rid of the electoral college because it would limit the number of states that they would have to control to elect a president. And very few states would ever get candidates campaigning in their states if they were not on one of the coasts…  the states with high populations.

And to understand the Constitution, you really need to go back to the Declaration of Independence first.  You must understand the Declaration of Independence to get a handle on the Constitution… beginning with the first 85 words at the top.

When we look at President Obama’s comments where he leaves out the words, endowed by their Creator, it is crucial to the progressive philosophy.  Woodrow Wilson said that the Constitution is worthless.  Every word in the Constitution is there for a purpose! Endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights is crucial… because our rights come from a natural God not man.  It has nothing to do with any particular religion.  For if our rights come from man… then man can take them away.  And this notion that the Congress can give us as well as take away rights has permeated our government.  And many of the rights they are promoting come right out of Karl Marx’s writings.

One of the biggest dangers to our system is trans-nationalism developed by Harold Coe.  Trans-nationalists believe that International law trumps nationalism and national laws.  Globalism is part of the goal of the Progressive Movement. (Is Obama Quietly Erasing Borders?)

Another huge enemy of the Constitution is using case law instead of Constitutional law.

There is a code in the Constitution. It is “We The People”…  This is our country and we must take it back!

Restoring Our History Series – Revolution… What are the Warning Signs? (Part 1)

 

WE ARE STANDING AT A PRESIPUS.  WE MUST ALL CHOOSE SIDES AND STAND.  THERE IS NO ROOM FOR NEUTRALITY.  THOSE THAT REMAIN NEUTRAL WILL HELP THE OTHER SIDE.

Freedom is never free… it requires vigilance, participation, knowledge and sometimes even the ultimate sacrifice.  But be aware, dictatorships require more… they require that you relinquish your freedom and your soul.
