Founding Fathers - First thoughts about

Americans were never meant to be taxed out of prosperity, or crushed under the weight government debt. The greedy hand of government and ignorance have slowly eroded the Nation our Founding Fathers fought to create. Tariffs (Import & Export taxes) were the main source of all Federal revenue until 1914. When the people were prosperous (and business thrived) imports and exports increased, and so did government income. Government income was determined by the prosperity of the people! However, in 1913 the federal income tax was implemented to help finance WWI. At that time, the marginal tax rate was 1% on income of $0 to $20,000, 2% on income of $20,000 to $50,000, 3% on income of $50,000 to $75,000, and so on. BUT, when WWI was over,...they simply "forgot" to repeal income tax. Then, the real problems started... The modern estate tax was implemented in 1916 and the gift tax came about in 1924. Corporate Income taxes were first enacted in 1909, and shortly after, the federal income tax in 1913. The 1920s and ...

Great presidents are made great by horrible circumstances combined with character, temperament and intelligence. Like firemen, cops, doctors or soldiers, presidents need a crisis to shine President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan took the oath of office on 29 May, 2011 amidst thunderous expectations of a new dawn, given the mountain of problems that characterized the nation. Jonathan is one of the most intelligent presidents to ever step forward in Nigeria’s history the second fully fit university graduate. The likes of his intellectual capabilities have not been surpassed in public life since the Founding Fathers put pen to paper. His personal character is also solid gold. Take heart, Nigeria: we have the leader for our times. I say this as a Pan Africanist who believes totally in One Nigeria, former life-long siddon look Nigerian. I say this as a proud Nigerian . I speak as someone who knows it’s time to forget tribal loyalty, party loyalty, ideology and pride and put the country first. Jonathan is our last ...

Last year, on his New Rules segment, Bill Maher took on the TEA Party ignoramuses by comparing them to the framers of the US Constitution noting: "Now I want you teabaggers out there to understand one thing. While you idolize the Founding Fathers and dress up like them and smell like them, I think…

Wayne LaPierre (The NRA) cares way more about gun manufacturers than gun owners. This should be, by now anyway, so evident that any rational NRA members left should be turning on him in droves. My suggestion would be for anyone who's left in the NRA, that still has common sense that is, leave that organization and find one that understands the ACTUAL meaning of the Second Amendment and realizes that, just like the First Amendment, it has limitations as well. NOTHING in the constitution is set in stone. Like it or not, our Founding Fathers understood that this HAD to be a "living" document. They completely understood that times change. And with it so should our laws to reflect how society changes. This was, after all, the age of enlightenment. Are we really so foolish now to believe that our own ancestors didn't understand their own history well enough to know that not everyone will EVER believe or agree with the exact same ideals? This country was founded on basic human principles "That to secure th ...

More folks need to use some actual "smarts" and good ole Common Sense, and speak up, instead of just sittin'--- AND SOON!!! - - The very moral, brave, creative, and high work ethic base upon which our great nation was created and flourished for over 200 years is being threatened by a deceiving Socialist-Communist agenda, which has destroyed every country where it has existed. - - Remember: One of our wisest Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, cautioned us, based upon his actual experience and understanding of human nature, that, for all time --- - "The BEST government is the LEAST government!!!" - Please feel free to SHARE this document image forward, especially to elected officials, newspapers, and the major media networks. - -Remember, if anyone, especially a politician or a person voting for an elected official, fails to consider Common Sense and Human Nature, they are merely "Pseudo-Intellectuals", and only sound smart. - This is remarkably true in the instance of "feel-gooders", who wa .. ...

Words of infinite wisdom from one of America's greatest Founding Fathers and Presidents...!!! We have such a government now, one whose President is a failed leader---socialist Barack Hussein Obama---who has many times ignored, refused to follow and enforce, and violated the Constitution of the United States and many U. S. laws.

NO ONE SAYS IT QUITE LIKE JUDGE JEANINE PIRO.. Take note Hillary Clinton, this is how a REAL AMERICAN WOMAN addresses a crowd! A MUST WATCH AND SHARE! From Judge Jeanine's speech: "A terrorist bomber from Chechnya has more rights than an American citizen, a District Attorney, a Judge, a Corrections Officer and law abiding citizens. Now, let me tell you how out of sync our country has become. We are so far from the fundamental values of our Founding Fathers that America is almost unrecognizable. Our society is so out of whack that last week, in the aftermath of the Boston massacre the governor or Massachusetts actually refused to reveal the amount of TAXPAYER money we gave to a terrorist on the grounds of "privacy" PRIVACY.WHAT PRIVACY? Governor, it was our hard earned money... you give our money to a terrorist who murdered Americans who blinded, deafened and blew the arms and legs off innocent civilians who turned the city of Boston into a lock down war zone of casualties, amputees and a guaranteed ...

Where do I start, here? I suppose the logical place is the following: "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." I'm going to assume that Gun Control proponents are not all *** so I must therefore conclude that they have no difficulty at all in terms of comprehending "shall not be infringed", and further must assume that they have chosen to ignore that in service of personal ideology. Let's take a look at history and civics for a moment. It's the end of the 18th century, and our Founding Fathers have just completed a bloody revolt against their tyrannical king. They've spent the last decade in the arduous process of laying down a solid foundation upon which a new Republic will be built, and the result is our Constitution. This is a powerful document, laying out the specific branches of our new Federal Government, and their respective responsibilities and limitations. It established checks and balance ...

My fellow Americans, you and I, as a patriotic lot, should wish to assure both the security and longevity of all ten primary amendments in our Bill of Rights-as composed, established, and often outlined in a variety of writings by our Founding Fathers. Instead, most of us are satisfied in chanting t...

On this National Day of Prayer, let us take time to remember the blessings bestowed upon us by our Almighty God. May we never allow separation of church and state to be redefined as separation of our Judeo-Christian faith foundation from these great United States. Our unalienable rights come from the Creator, and when we thank Him regularly for His divine providence, as the Founding Fathers did – God will bless America. - Allen B. West

My friends, Many of you disagree with my conclusions (this is unfortunate). However, after much thought and cogitation on the matters, I truly believe our Founding Fathers got it right; especially on the 2nd amendment. Today's anti-gun movement is nothing more than a smoke screen to hide the true nature of the movement. I believe the true nature is to unleash tyranny, and dismantle the freedoms we have (which are evaportaing daily). In other words, the people trying to dismantle our nation (like Mao, Stalin and Hitler) must get rid of private gun ownership before they can roll out tyranny. This is what the anti-gun movement is really all about; a take over. History is our teacher. Look at what Hitler did to the Jews. It all started with a gun registry to protect the children, and 5 years later it was "capitol punishment" if you failed to turn in your guns. You don't believe me? You should research the history yourself! Consider this... Whackos do not shoot up police stations o ...

As usual, video games prove full of tidbits of clarity in terms of how they view things. Playing Assassins Creed 3, and your character (who's currently using a device to access his ancestor's memory in order to live out the life of his half-native American ancestor during the American Revolution) receives an email from one of his assassin coworkers (said coworker is British, while your character is American). It reads: "Subject: American Politics You know, it's rather incredible the way your lunatic fringe tries to conjure the "spirit" of the Founding Fathers to support their various causes. And by incredible I mean hilarious. They hold up slave-owning, sexist, homophobes as if that's some sort of ideal to which one should aspire. Oh - and in case you think I added that last bit for fun ( as the sexism and slavery bits are already common knowledge ): sodomy was a criminal offense in every one of the thirteen colonies except for Georgia and Thomas Jefferson ('champion' of personal liberty that he was) advo ...

Have you looked around and noticed America is undergoing a major transformation? The country of our Founding Fathers is looking more like a failing European country. In fact, the U.S. is becoming more and more like a model U.N. country. We deny our rights are inalienable. We reject the heritage of Western Christendom. We violate our national interests by sending billions of dollars to foreign countries. And now our government wants to take our guns. Is the United States a colony of the U.N.? The immigration issue is importing voters who already agree with the U.N. worldview. There is a general consensus among elected governments in Latin America, Europe and Asia that: only the government should be armed; personal firearms should be severely limited, registered and, if possible, confiscated; exceptions should be made for the elite and their body guards; the best way to decrease gun violence is to disarm the population. America is the exceptional country. From what we know of these elites, do you think they ...

It wasn’t enough that Rev. Jesse Jackson delivered a sermon at the funeral of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, he went a step further in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer comparing him to the Founding Fathers.

Tony Tsigounis Over two centuries ago, a group of people also known as our Founding Fathers had a dream. A dream of living as free men, and of enjoying the Liberty that God gave them to be the masters of their own destiny. They were ruled by an English tyrant and were overtaxed without any hope of representation. So the phrase was coined “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.” They decided that through the grace of God, and with strong intestinal fortitude, with the fire of the hope of Freedom burning in their bellies, that they would stand up against the tyranny. Although they were severely outnumbered and outgunned, they pressed on under Divine guidance and total personal sacrifice until they prevailed. So I will now make the case that the tree of Liberty must once again be watered with the blood of Patriots and of Tyrants. Government spending: as our debt grows more and more by the minute, our government manufactures one false crisis after another in an effort to fleece the American taxpayer of more ...

On this, the 157th anniversary of our founding, I would like to say Thank You to all of my brothers of the SC Beta Chapter and most importantly to the Founding Fathers to met in the Mansion House in Alabama many years ago and created this wonderful entity that we call Sigma Alpha Epsilon! This organization has changed my life in more ways that I can ever explain - Phi Alpha!

Judge Andrew Napolitano: “Senator Paul has the courage of a tiger. He used all the tools available to a U.S. Senator to bring to the country's attention a very painful and unpleasant truth: Wherever the government goes, the Constitution follows. The Constitution expressly states that if the government wants the life, liberty, or property of any person, it must follow due process. Due process means that the government can only kill a person after a jury trial or if that person is actively engaged in waging war on the U.S. - bank robbers, rapists, murderers, terrorists, assassins, or anyone else - without the fairness that the Constitution requires and federal law sets forth. That Senator Paul would make these arguments fearlessly when the President, and the Democrats, and even the congressional Republican leadership preferred to look the other way, that he would tax his body and soul in a Jimmy Stewart-like tour de force, that he would remain faithful to the principles of the Founding Fathers, are all si ...

I have been reading and enjoying Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography, which I just got from the mail today from a dear friend. It is the first book I've enjoyed reading since my university British Library membership expired in 2008. I didn't know much about him except that he was one of the Founding Fathers, probably because he didn't become president or secretary. He was one of the most virtuous and inspiring American leaders. I'm intrigued and interested to follow his life. I read a biography of John Adams at uni but Franklin is a more likeble and inspiring character to me. I wish he had become President too.

Here's a brief bio about Benjamin Franklin, one of our Founding Fathers. "When denied the chance to write a letter to the paper for publication, Franklin adopted the pseudonym of "Mrs. Silence Dogood", a middle-aged widow. "Mrs. Dogood"'s letters were published, and became a subject of conversation around town. Neither James nor the Courant's readers were aware of the ruse, and James was unhappy with Ben when he discovered the popular correspondent was his younger brother. Franklin left his apprenticeship without permission, and in so doing became a fugitive." More comin' up...

Joining me this week in the Chop Shop Classic is Tommy Shaw from Styx. We will also have music from Led Zeppelin, Ozzy, Journey, Van Halen and Jeff Beck will pay tribute to Elvis in the Founding Fathers. Our All-Star Salute will focus on The Edge from U2, and I will answer the challenge to connect Joe Walsh to Deep Purple in 6 moves or less.

(Click to enlarge) LONDON, (CAIS) -- The Exhibition of ‘The Cyrus Cylinder and Ancient Persia’ opens Saturday 9th March, marking the first U.S. appearance of one of the most celebrated objects from antiquity known as the Cyrus Cylinder, declared by many as the ‘World’s First Charter of Human Rights’, an American football-shaped artefact inscribed with orders issued by Cyrus the Great after his conquest of Babylon in 539 BCE. The exhibition "is about understanding the way Iranians see themselves in the world, and that's obviously important at the moment," said Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum, which loaned the priceless artefact. Although it is the first time that the ‘Cyrus Cylinder’ is going to the US, the cylinder’s principle message, which is the Cyrus the Great doctrine is no stranger to Americans, particularly to one of the U.S. Founding Fathers. When the third U.S. president Thomas Jefferson was in need of guidance for drafting the US Constitution, he turned to "Cyropae ...

TREASON The betrayal of one's own country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies. The Treason Clause traces its roots back to an English statute enacted during the reign of Edward III (1327–1377). This statute prohibited levying war against the king, adhering to his enemies, or contemplating his death. Although this law defined treason to include disloyal and subversive thoughts, it effectively circumscribed the crime as it existed under the Common Law. During the thirteenth century, the crime of treason encompassed virtually every act contrary to the king's will and became a political tool of the Crown. Building on the tradition begun by Edward III, the Founding Fathers carefully delineated the crime of treason in Article III of the U.S. Constitution, narrowly defining its elements and setting forth stringent evidentiary requirements. Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemie ...

Thoughts and Political Crap, Part 1 Generally I like to think of myself as a Libertarian and a Capitalist, though a bit of an idealist, a true Libertarian at my core. I take from the grand buffet of politics both Conservative and Liberal ideas that I think best suit the public and society as a whole, and I leave behind the crap party politics and spin behind. I refuse to adhere to the political agenda of either Democrats or Republicans because I truly believe the blindly following either party's politics is dangerous and irresponsible. I feel that now more than ever that the agendas of both parties are more preoccupied with maintaining and staying in power than they are with the actual welfare of the US populace and the interests of this Nation. I refuse to be classified as a supporter of either. I strongly believe in the ideals set down for this great Nation by our Founding Fathers as enshrined in our Constitution. I believe that every Man and Woman are entitled by birth to the rights of Life, Liberty, . ...

I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this. It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government." This idea -- that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream-the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sinc ...

Hammers, yesterday, hearing Rand Paul speak for hours and hours on the history of our nation, our Founding Fathers, and the United States Constitution - no teleprompter - a part of me wondered, WHAT in God's name would Democrats say to sustain a filibuster? ... WHAT would they talk about? ... The Communists Manifesto? ... Margaret Sanger? ... The history of Karl Marx?

This is from the Newtown Bee, Newtown, CA Elected Officials Are Fundamentally Dishonest By Brendan Duffy Thursday, January 10, 2013 To the Editor: This letter was forwarded to Barack Obama, John Boehner, Chris Murphy, *** Blumenthal, Elizabeth Esty, and Harry Reid I live in Sandy Hook, CT. My family and close friends weren't harmed on December 14. That day impacted 26 families with an indescribable, staggering pain and anguish. For most of Sandy Hook, it merely affected us with an inescapable intensity of sadness and grief. Gun Control has long been a focus of many in this country. Though I'm not knowledgeable of all the nuances of the Second Amendment, based on the Founding Fathers' circumstances, it had far more to do with enabling the citizenry to protect themselves against tyrannical government than against local psychopaths. It is about providing a balanced firepower so when King George's successor came knocking on your door, you could fight back. Government today is no less inclined to abuse its au ...

To my conservative friends: I cannot say this strongly enough... Most of you are being played like a fiddle. For "The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree". The Bible speaks of "a man of lawlessness" in the end times. And the underlying, core philosophy of Libertarianism is Anarchy - which is lawlessness. Our God-fearing Founding Fathers gave us a Republic . Not a democracy. And not an anarchy. Unfortunately, that Republicanism was under attack before it was even established. And it has been on life-support since the Civil War. Republicanism = Rule of Law. America's greatness is that her "Rule of Law" was based on Judeo-Christian "Natural Law"... which is morality based on the Ten Commandments AND the teachings of Christ. PLEASE do not be misled. Bad men are mis-leading most of you into celebrating a fake win. You SHOULD be madder than ever right now.

An American President had just pronounced the legal right to Murder any American Citizen, Any Time, and Any Where, and break no laws doing it. It seems to be about using Drones, but it's not. Legal analysts say that allows him to kill an American by any means; including a bullet or a knife in the back. Exactly what our Founding Fathers warned against, and wrote the Constitution to prevent. The only opposition to this is one courageous Senator doing a filibuster in the Senate; but can only delay the Senate from doing business 24 hours - IF he matches the record. Whether it makes any real difference of not is yet to be seen.

I do know that I have been more then lax in my participation in voting, in getting involved in speaking out and making sure that the people that deserve it are the people that get into ANY office, whether on a small, local scale, right up to the President. If I work some overtime to buy someone a gift, and they do not like it or take care of it, makes me feel like my efforts were not respected, appreciated, and were in vain.Imagine, if it is possible, the hardships, commitment, resolve, that it took to accomplish what our Founding Fathers did, right up to laying down their lives, to give us the gift of this Country.and now imagine how they would feel if they were able to see how we appreciated it, how we took care of it. .and they made it VERY easy for us to be involved. We have the ability to accomplish alot of things simply by sending an email, a phone call ( or a couple hundred annoying ones in a row : ) while sitting at a desk drinking a beer watching television.and alot of us can't be compelled to do ...

Who ever said Republicanism was a bad thing? It's the political values system that has been a major part of American civic thought since the American Revolution. It stresses liberty and "unalienable" rights as central values, makes the people as a whole sovereign, rejects aristocracy and inherited political power, expects citizens to be independent in their performance of civic duties, and vilifies corruption. American republicanism was founded and first practiced by the Founding Fathers in the 18th century. This system was based on early Roman, Renaissance, and English models and ideas. It formed the basis for the American Revolution and the consequential Declaration of Independence (1776) and the Constitution (1787), as well as the Gettysburg Address (1863). Republicanism may be distinguished from other forms of democracy as it asserts that people have unalienable rights that cannot be voted away by a majority of voters. Alexis de Tocqueville warned about the "tyranny of the majority" in a democracy, an ...

On the day of Ghana's independence anniversary, I extend best wishes to all. There is a lot in our history to be proud of but we have good reason to look forward to an even brighter future. It is important that we keep our eyes on what we need to do to realize the promise Ghana held at independence. This generation of Ghanaians must make the dreams of our Founding Fathers a reality. We shall build a prosperous Republic on Freedom and Justice.

Hey gun supporters ... comparing Obama to Hitler and trumpeting the wisdom of our "Founding Fathers" ... Our founding fathers said a lot of things about religion being evil too ... PHOTOS AND QUOTES WORK BOTH WAYS ... STATISTICS AND FACTS ARE HARDER TO LOOK AT BUT OFTEN TELL A BETTER STORY ... the subject is far to important to devolve into name-calling and insults ... facts work positively for both arguments ... but a little more control ... ie: registration, licensing ... accurate record keeping ... regulation of unregistered sales / gun shows / no background checks / etc ... cannot be a bad thing ...

Am I a Racist?? this was spurred by a friend's post. Every where I go, I see Conservatives called racists, because we dislike Obama. I am not a racist!! I dislike this President with a passion, every day I discover more lies and implementation of ideas and things our Founding Fathers fought against. I am sick of being thought of as racist also. I love Dr. Martin Luther King, despise Rev. Jesse Jackson. I wanted Herman Cain to get nominated on the GOP ticket. I love former Congressman Allen West. I would have even voted for Condi Rice, a black female President. I's not about Obama's color, nor his faith..it's about his integrity, his anti-American ideas, and his unwillingness to due his part to put our fiscal house in order.

Ezra Taft Benson: There are some things we can and must do at once if we are to stave off a holocaust of destruction: First: We must return to worship the God of this land, who is Jesus Christ. Second: We must awaken to a sense of [our] awful situation. Third: Men who are wise, good, and honest, who will uphold the Constitution of the United States in the tradition of the Founding Fathers, must be sought for diligently. Last: We must study the inspired Constitution and become involved in the political process ourselves.

Where is America heading? SOCIALISM! If you don't understand what it means, look it up. What did our Founding Fathers say, it's time we got back to the truth! George Washington, the father of our nation and the first president of the United States, stated, "it is impossible to rightly govern the world without DOD and the BIBLE". John Quincy Adams, the sixth president, stated; "the first and only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible. I speak as a man of the world.and I say to you 'search the scriptures'. Andrew Jackson, the seventh president, stated, referring to the Bible: "that book, sir, is the ROCK on which our republic rest". Patrick Henry, governor of Virginia and signify of the Declaration of Independence, stated:"it cannot be emphasized too clearly and to often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by CHRISTIANS; not by religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ". What is religion? Religion is just a smoother path to the gates of *** , get off of it ! How do you k .. ...

I just read a bogus, fabricated quote circulating that claims George Washington said, “A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” Washington never said this. You can fact check it and see the actual quote. Washington was not speaking about citizens arming themselves in case of government tyranny. Quite the opposite: The President and former General was calling for disciplined troops to fight on behalf of the government. Like Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, Washington believed in the 2nd Amendment but never bastardized its meaning like so many pro-gun advocates in order to further their own misguided, political purpose. Founding Fathers like Madison and Hamilton failed to see any relevance in that explanation of the 2nd Amendment. Their view was that if the 2nd Amendment was being interpreted as ...

Were the Founding Fathers "Tolerant" of Islam? by Dave Miller, Ph.D. [Editor’s Note: This article is the first installment of a two-part critique of an article written by James Hutson, Library of Congress Manuscript Division Chief, on the Founding Fathers’ attitude toward Islam.] One prominent misconception pertaining to the liberty envisioned by the Founding Fathers of America concerns their intentions with regard to non-Christian religions. Case in point: Manuscript Division Chief of the Library of Congress, James Hutson, wrote an article, titled “The Founding Fathers and Islam” (which routinely receives sanction on Muslim Web sites and blogs [e.g., Amanullah, 2007; Shadia, 2012; “How Did the U.S…?” 2011; Pakistanis…, 2011; Nuha, 2012; The Islam Factor, 2008; Islamic News Updates, 2011]), in which he suggests that it is clear that the Founding Fathers thought about the relationship of Islam to the new nation and were prepared to make a place for it in the republic…. The Founders of th ...

"Well it turns out our Founding Fathers designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change that I would like sometimes" Obama to Matt Lauer. Is there any doubt he wants to gut the constitution? Wake up America before everything is free...except us.

Constitutional Founders wanted public armed. Sunday's Henderson, Ky Gleaner Editorial... worth the post. By David McAdams It never ceases to be surprising how many of our elected officials are ignorant of or misunderstand the people’s right to bear arms under the Second Amendment to our Constitution. To fully understand why our Founding Fathers saw the need to include this right in our Constitution one need only to read Federalist Paper No. 46. In his writing James Madison details why the people are guaranteed this right. I would challenge all citizens to read this document as written by this brilliant man our fourth president. We were given this right for one main reason and wisely so. We were not mainly given this right for the purpose of personal protection, hunting, sport or target shooting, although they too are valid reasons. We were given this right, first and foremost, in order that the people have the ability to resist a tyrannical government. The founders were intimately familiar with tyrannic ...

Be true to your nature, be true to your convictions, even when those around you might say that you have become "obsessed" or are involved in "hate speech" or "Islamophobia" or "right wing propaganda". Throughout history, there have always been individuals or small groups of people, who could recognize a pattern which others could not see. And such people have always been mocked and marginalized in the beginning. But they found the means to articulate what they saw and articulate it effectively. And those who saw the pattern were able to change minds and muster up support for their cause. Such were the Founding Fathers! And such are those of us who recognize a pattern of infiltration, in America and Europe, on the part of "Political Islam". Don't let the peer pressure, judgement, the loss of so-called "friends" or anything else weaken your resolve. Stay the course. History will show that us "Islamophobes" were the voices of reason! While weaker minds, who naively supported an attempt to "destroy the West f ...

Incredulous about Michele Bachmann’s bizarre interpretation of American history and calling her a “balloon head,” Chris Matthews could hardly control himself from screaming at Tea Party Express founder Sal Russo last year. At issue was a tape where Bachman lauds the Founding Fathers for working “tirelessly to end slavery.” “I don’t know what to make of that, Sal,” Matthews said. “That’s balloon head. That’s not what our history was founded on. We founded on a Constitution which…treated slaves as three-fifths of a person. It went all the way to the Civil War.” After playing the tape, Matthews tore into Russo and the Tea Party Express for making Bachmann their spokesperson. Why do you put someone like this forward who is a balloon head who knows no American history? It’s a ridiculous decision you guys have made. Do you know how little this woman knows about our history?”.. . Chris was so flabergasted at the stupidity he couldnt hardly contain himself!!

"Compared to God, man is nothing; yet we are everything to God." ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf "In Europe, charters of liberty have been granted by power. America has set the example … of charters of power granted by liberty. This revolution in the practice of the world, may, with an honest praise, be pronounced the most triumphant epoch of its history, and the most consoling presage of its happiness." ~ James Madison, 1792, National Gazette Essay It is my absolute belief that God so loved mankind that, not only did he send his Only Begotten Son to suffer and die for us that we might live again, but nearly 1800 years later he gathered a rare group of men, our Founding Fathers, to establish a nation of true liberty which would be a beacon of hope and inspiration to all the world, and a place where all men could worship God as they may. Through Divine Providence, and with the help of many miraculous occurrences, America defeated the far superior British army and navy to secure their independence. We each should c ...

To all my fellow "gun nuts" out there, please take note of this posting and lets "share"/pass it around so it gets the widest possible exposure. Lets quit playing into the anti-gun, liberals hands! Every time they ask the question, "Why does anyone NEED an assault rifle?", or, "Why does anyone NEED a high capacity magazine?", I see/hear one of my fellow "gun nuts" go into a rant about the the 2nd Amendment, government tyranny, and defending ourselves from gangs of criminals. This plays right into their hands and makes us look like a bunch of paranoid kooks, instead of common sense, law abiding citizens. The answer to those questions is simple and THIS is what we should be saying: If you want to talk about why the Founding Fathers thought it was necessary to write the 2nd Amendment, then lets have a history discussion. But the Founders did NOT preface the Bill of Rights with a statement that said, "Upon proving a NEED for them, here are the American citizen's individual rights." Nope, they didn't do that. ...

What Does Jesus Say About Obama? I love God and every American. That is why I share with you the truth from the Holy Bible. The important question for every Christian is: What does our Lord and Savior Jesus say about Barack Obama? Jesus says: “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.“ Matthew 7:16-20 Obama’s fruit is he: Covered Jesus’ name and cross at Georgetown Says Christians, pro-lifers and Americans wanting liberty (our Founding Fathers) possible terrorists in “Homeland Security Reports” Advocates to leave living babies to die who survive botched abortions Has the blood of millions of aborted babies on his hands Mocks God with sexual and homosexual sin Follows Saul A ...

Good Morning folks. Here are a few burning issues you might want to comment on.. 1. At the declaration of independence on midnight 5th March, 1957, Kwame Nkrumah and the Big Six promised Ghanaians a particularly beautiful country, to be built and nurtured by all Ghanaians. This morning we are asking the young generation. Is this the Ghana that was promised by the Founding Fathers on the declaration of independence? If YES, great! If NO... how do we get back on track? 2. It has been said by many - both pundits and novices that Africa's problems is tied strictly to its lack of enforcement of laws. Ghana is no exception. Why can't we enforce our laws??? 3. The Minister for Finance Hon. Seth Terkper will tomorrow, Tuesday, March 5, 2013 present the 2013 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament on. The budget is expected to focus on the continuous stabilization of the economy, infrastructure development and accelerating growth that will sustain the confidence in the future of the Ghanaian economy. Ar ...

Sort of Rod Serling meets John Steinbeck. And if this isn't the most Humboldt-y story ever written, it'll be one of my other ones. From "Rhapsody Grove": In front of the giant owl that night, faces flickered in torchlight. The white men were screaming together how unfair their lack of rights. The most important banker there wore a tall and pointed hood, it being part of the private tradition, and he introduced Gov. Mason, the most religious governor of all, unto the clamoring throng, and Gov. Mason said unto them, “My friends! These days, the women, the minorities, they get to have everything in the world a million times better than the Founding Fathers ever intended when they got together and created this country with their perfect union!” Huge roars of applause. “And I’ll tell you somethin’ else! Here in this grove I say to the world, if you don’t go to my church, then you don’t count for nothin’!” Thunderous roars of frenzied applause. “And if you don’t worship my God, the one God ...

is food for thought for ALL American citizen "When the Founding Fathers created this nation, I don't believe because it is omitted from the United States Constitution that the Federal Representatives allow them to raise their own pay. I feel that when this nation was created it was the taxpayers that decided that, because the Founding Fathers knew it was their money and they (by a vote of the people) decided what the Federal Representatives pay was to be, but we have between then and now lost that right and when need to get it back, by the first ever Special National Vote to decide under the US Constitution [Who will decided the Federal representatives them or us and this needs to be vote on three times to make it a US Constitutional Amendment, also] and with this vote decide also other rights issues to finally make a law that we voted in and will have to live by." As I said, this is just so food for thought for how to get "OUR" control back and to get rid of the corruption and greed out. Those that don't ...

For my Utah friends: Here are my full thoughts on HB114. It's a bit long-winded, but I'm sure that's not a surprise. The Importance of HB114 goes far beyond the 2nd Amendment: It has become increasingly apparent that the current direction of the Federal Government is not representative of the people of Utah. One need look no further than our most recent Presidential election for the proof of this, an election in which 75% of this state voted against the policies of the President and Senate. However, this disconnect between the culture of our state and Washington DC is not surprising. It is impossible that the accumulated representatives of a country as diverse as ours would perfectly match that of a state comprising only 1% of its total population. The true surprise is that the Founders of our nation had the forethought to predict and account for this disconnect in the creation of our government. The Constitution of enumerated Federal powers given to us by the Founding Fathers was established with th ...

As we begin to gear up for our next military adventure in the middle east, I thought I'd cherry pick a quote from one of our revered Founding Fathers(that ancient and inexhaustable repository of virtue and wisdom). "No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty." James Madison.

You are a tool and the hidden hand is using you Please don't be delusional the rulers of this world practice confusing you The people and the priest and the Imams Have been jammed by government scams, mind systematically programmed Blatant hatred and racism The way they laced the whole world and nation with traces of Satanism This place is a pagan prison, the Founding Fathers enslaving intensions Were no different than Bush's and Reagan visions 1776 it took action This Illuminati took form and spawned from a Columbian faction Just flip your one dollar bill over And if you want me to expose the true code of deception I will show ya We live in a designed wicked system The number 13 is consistant in Masonic symbolism It represents transformation 12 completes a cycle so 13's rebirth and regeneration The meanings of the symbol are strategically hid On left side you see a 13 layered pyramid Over that sits the All Seeing Eye where the light shines A sign of the devil watching over you at all times With the words ...

Congressman Adrian Smith asserts in his letter to me that he is a member of the Congressional Constitution Caucus. Very well then, let's have a look at that group. From their own site, this is their mission statement: "The mission of the Congressional Constitution Caucus is to promote an American future that remains true to its revolutionary past. In the spirit of the original intention of our Founding Fathers, the Constitution Caucus will advance legislation that restricts congressional action to the enumerated powers of the Constitution and return those powers not delegated to the Federal Government back to the respective states. Recognizing that the Constitution can only be preserved if it lives in the hearts and minds of the American people, the Constitution Caucus will provide an effective forum for education on founding principles and the appropriate limitations of congressional action." Since the standing membership seems to be negligent in their duties, I happily list their names, also as found on ...

Just recently finished listening to Ayn Rand's magnum opus, "Atlas Shrugged" for the 4th time. It is indeed a masterpiece, and frighteningly like the America of today, though she wrote it in the early 1950's. Highly recommend it. My only objection to it is the author's atheistic standpoint, which comes out at times in the negative feelings towards Christianity that some of the characters express. Rand believed that Reason was king, and said in an interview once that she thought it was unfortunate that our Founding Fathers credited God as the Author of our rights. She didn't seem to realize what it would've left us open to if they had credited Reason with our rights. We have an example of that sort of mistake in the French Revolution (see Ann Coulter's book, "Mugged" for more information on that).

Well, actually... the Founding Fathers would have said that any gun the government has, we private citizens must ALSO have. They would say that to accept exceptions would be fatal. Remember, Boston was under martial law for seven years before our revolution really even got going. H/T Steven P Duhon

So, what are we humans, as creatures? I ask, because it bears a great weight on how we answer “how should we be governed”? A lot of people since the enlightenment (but not the Founding Fathers) have assumed that humans are creatures of reason and that once you get them to a certain state of [...]

So much is being made concerning the 2nd Amendment through "Nit-picking the English language" wars. Students of the Constitution, and in particular the Bill of Rights (The name for the collection of the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution) often don't understand all the confusion over this Amendment. I certainly don't. But I DO know that when reading it, one should keep in mind the words of Thomas Jefferson: "On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed." In other words, "Just read the *** thing ... in the vernacular and spirit of the day it was written". I light of that epiphany, I offer a collection of thoughts held and stated in writing by the Founding Fathers. "A free people ought to be armed." - Ge . ...

~ IMPORTANT ~ TO READ AND UNDERSTAND The Law Of Necessity by Chuck Baldwin, February 28, 2013 Most of us are taught from childhood to respect and obey the law. On the whole, Americans are law-abiding people. This is only fitting for a nation that was built on the principles of law. Remember, at our core, this is supposed to be a “nation of laws, not men.” This is one reason that our Founding Fathers bequeathed us a republic and not a democracy. Unfortunately, it has been over one hundred years since America’s teachers (both secular and sacred) have taught the principles of Natural Law. This has created a vast ignorance that has blinded people (especially Christian people it seems) from being able to properly understand, evaluate, and judge the law. Our Lord plainly said, “The Sabbath (law) was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath (law).” (Mark 2:27 KJV) This was stated in response to the criticism and judgmentalism of the Pharisees against Jesus and His disciples, who had picked and eaten c ...

I don't know if this is really true...but it makes since. Read and search this for yourself. Someone passed this to me..thought I would share.. Been saying this for a long time but few want to listen. A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government. — Edward Abbey Giving up the right to arms is a mistake a free people get to make only once. — Jack Childs If you don't like our government now, you don't ever want to find out how bad it would be if the American population were completely disarmed. — Joseph Farah, Editor, World Net Daily How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual...as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of. — Rep.

I'm really liking this Dr. Benjamin Carson guy. He doesn't wear a tinfoil hat, comes across as brilliant, took Obama to task TO HIS FACE for his policies, has a firm grasp (as a 'minority') on the plantation mentality that the left constantly fronts and has no fear apparently. I will reserve, for the moment, my feelings about his possible future in politics. He speaks of God, the Founding Fathers and limited government which is a triple hit for me.

Occupations of the Founding Fathers of American: The 1787 delegates practiced a wide range of high and middle-status occupations, and many pursued more than one career simultaneously. They did not differ dramatically from the Loyalists, except they were generally younger and less senior in their professions.[13] Thirty-five had legal training, though not all of them practiced law. Some had also been local judges.[14] At the time of the convention, 13 men were merchants: Blount, Broom, Clymer, Dayton, Fitzsimons, Shields, Gilman, Gorham, Langdon, Robert Morris, Pierce, Sherman, and Wilson. Seven were major land speculators: Blount, Dayton, Fitzsimons, Gorham, Robert Morris, Washington and Wilson. Eleven speculated in securities on a large scale: Bedford, Blair, Clymer, Dayton, Fitzsimons, Franklin, King, Langdon, Robert Morris, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, and Sherman. Fourteen owned or managed slave-operated plantations or large farms: Bassett, Blair, Blount, Butler, Carroll, Jenifer, Jefferson, Madison, ...

Dispelling Myths about the Founding Fathers and the Constitution By Thomas J. Miller Historical facts along with actions taken by the Founding Fathers strongly suggest that a majority of them were against slavery and that the Constitution was used as an instrument to help eliminate slavery. Support for this idea comes from the writings of such notable historic figures as Abraham Lincoln and especially Fredrick Douglas who took this position (Published in the “North Star” March 6, 1849) after first believing the Constitution supported slavery. It is important to understand that slavery is more accurately defined as a societal problem or moral problem rather than a racial problem. Slavery tends to be motivated by those who seek to take power and/or wealth from others. This definition can then be applied to the problem of slavery as it occurred all over the world in many societies since the beginning of recorded history. Understanding slavery in this way can help heal the social wounds by focusing on th ...

the Founding Fathers of this nation set up a simple economic system that did not rely on a private central bank. Government issued the public currency and spent it into circulation where it was used by the public free of interest. Then the money was taxed back into the government's hands, then to be re-spent back into circulation. For each fiscal year the money issued equaled the money collected. Nothing was lost. The dollar was based on a weight measure of silver, which meant the value of a dollar was fixed and not subject to the whims of government or bankers. This is a system which has worked very well for the civil population throughout history. It made the new nation immediately prosperous. This alarmed the European banking clans, which feared the American inspiration might spread to other nations (as it did to France in 1793). Where Britain's military might failed, politics succeeded and spurred on by Alexander Hamilton, the first Bank of the United States was granted a 20 year charter in 1791. Almo ...

On this day 3 years ago, 47 Founding Fathers forged an everlasting legacy that laid out the blueprint for a true Brotherhood. Today, the Rho-Delta Chapter of Kappa Sigma Fraternity stands 57 Brothers and 8 Pledges strong. Our Brothers have worked tirelessly to continue our legacy of living the Four Pillars and the SAJ's Dream. Our young Chapter have experienced countless ups and downs, but in the end, the rewards are to be enjoyed for a lifetime. Gentlemen of Rho-Delta Chapter of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Happy Founding Day!

As long as we're willing to think the worst of our own neighbors, and of whole groups of regular people, we're easy marks for a few who benefit from our horizontal hostility. It is our choice, as individuals, to accept the stories which divide us, or those which unite us. The following excerpt was written in 1965. Not much changes. "When the United States of America, which was meant to be a Utopia for all, was less than a century old, Noah Rosewater and a few men like him demonstrated the folly of the Founding Fathers in one respect: those sadly recent ancestors had not made it the law of the Utopia that the wealth of each citizen should be limited. ... This oversight was engendered by a weak-kneed sympathy for those who loved expensive things and by the feeling that the continent was so vast and valuable, and the population so thin and enterprising, that no thief, no matter how fast he stole, could more than mildly inconvenience anyone. Noah and a few like him perceived that the continent was in fact f . ...

I find it VERY refreshing to see some accurate reporting in the media for a change. I am a former Certified Firearm Instructor and currently one of the top ten (number 7) Independent Membership Recruiters for the National Rifle Association in the world. The semi-automatic rifle was first invented in the year 1885, which was just 49 years after the death of James Madison who wrote and introduced the 2nd Amendment to Congress in June of 1789. The first guns were made in China in the first half of the 12th century. The had about 650 years of development from their first invention to the time that the 2nd Amendment was made part of the United States Constitution in 1791. Some have claimed that the Founding Fathers could not have foreseen semi-auto rifles, but indeed some of the men and women from the founding generation at minimum had children who were certainly alive when semi-auto rifles became popular. They were VERY smart men who knew that firearms would continue to develop. The truth about guns, gun owne ...

i just wish i thought of this myself.i copied this from my friends at Keizer Wheels please share this At 3:11 this morning, I was lying in bed, thinking. My thoughts turned to the 2nd Amendment. My understanding is, the Founding Fathers' intent was that an armed citizenry might defend itself from a tyrannical government. I'm an armed citizen, I thought, but if the government was after me, could I hold them off? Of course not. Even if I eventually snap and go John Brown, the government could run a... tank over my house; send in a SEAL team; or simply shut off my water and electricity and freeze me or starve me out. Jason Bourne could follow me into a restroom somewhere and shank me. Our current president seems to have a predilection for the drone strike. I could be rolling down some county road in Western Iowa in my F150, minding my own business and bam! So am I or is any other armed citizen equipped to effectively resist a tyrannical government in this day and age? I had to say no. Then I got to thinking. ...

Don't you think that if you could ask the Founding Fathers today, they would expect and applaud any efforts to actually redesign governance to fit the 21st century and PROGRESS? They probably would seek out modern dentists, too...and don't let Ben Franklin get behind the wheel or go into a strip club.

Tea Party Community (TPC) - Mission Statement The Constitution, Liberty, and American Values. Many years ago, when Dr. Benjamin Franklin emerged from what we regard as Freedom Hall, a bystander asked, “So Doctor, what sort of government did you give us?” Franklin responded with one of the greatest statements of his legendary career, “I gave you a Republic if you can keep it.” The people of the United States have long held the remarkable collective documents crafted by our Founding Fathers as the nation’s guiding light of liberty. In that tradition, the organization known as the Tea Party Community (TPC) was born. The Tea Party Community is a social platform, which connects and empowers like-minded, politically conservative individuals. TPC is an intended safe haven for sharing ideas, unifying a movement and organizing strategies to restore America to her rightful place as the greatest nation on earth. TPC members can organize, communicate and share valuable information on upcoming events, rallie ...

A Prayer for our Nation's Election O God, we acknowledge You today as Lord, Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments. We thank You for the privilege Of being able to organize ourselves politically And of knowing that political loyalty Does not have to mean disloyalty to You. We thank You for Your law, Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged And recognized as higher than any human law. We thank You for the opportunity that this election year puts before us, To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote, But to influence countless others to vote, And to vote correctly. Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened. Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation, Their response to You requires that they be politically active. Awaken Your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world But rather a community of faith renewing the world. Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to You in prayer Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth; That the s ...

All who know me know that I'm a well-meaning pain-in-the *** who is a patriotic, law-abiding, tax-paying American Citizen. I want you good folks to know that IF there are any new infringements upon my 2nd Amendment Rights under the U.S. Constitution I will not comply, which then, I suppose, will make me a felon. Secondly, I will not surrender ANY weapons or high-capacity magazines; some unfortunate souls will have to come get them from me. Third, I guess that means my long-term life expectancy is not looking all that good right now. If you know and love other people like me but are not engaged in helping us protect our rights, at least tell everyone you know after we're gone that Obama, Feinstein, the Mainstream Media et al, are lying by declaring us "domestic terrorists" 'cause you know, that's the way they'll spin it. Tell them that like the Founding Fathers of this once-great Country, we did our solemn duty as DIRECTED TO by our Nation's Founding Document, The Declaration of Independence: "We hold the ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — These days, it sounds like an improbable fairy tale: politicians with deeply differing visions of America setting aside disagreements to reach a grand compromise on a critical issue.That's exactly what happened in 1790, when the Founding Fathers overlooked their parochial interests...

*Thanks Skip Nava for this!!! * With all this talk about ending gun rights let me offer up another feckless argument: We should abolish the First Amendment, namely the part pertaining to the freedom of the press. When our Founding Fathers ratified the First Amendment they never imagined that one day there would be Fox News, MSNBC and CNN were political pundits day after day fill our ears with personal opinion and political bias rather then actual facts. In 1787 there were only news papers. If a local news paper engaged in untruths the lie would stay in the town it originated and would not reach much further. With television a lie told in a New York news studio can be heard in a living room in Seattle. The Fathers didn't anticipate Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Shawn Hanidy, Michael Savage, Piers Morgan, Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow being on t.v. and radio day and night making a mockery of each others political views thus causing a substantial rip in our society. ...Now if you think that argume ...

Along with what's below, here's something else that also fits (Remember - just what Moi believes in - THE TRUTH! - and not necessarily yours or anybody else's opinion). From Frank Zappa's autobiography, "The Real Frank Zappa Book" (1988), Page 312: 'Making a Mockery of the Founding Fathers' "Let me close out this chapter with a note about one of Pat Robertson's more reprehensible activities: rewriting American history with a 'Christian' bias. His '700 Club' broadcasts have systematically disinformed viewers as to the REAL attitudes of the Founding Fathers on religion and it's relationship to government. This seems to have been done in order to merchandise his peculiar vision of an America under the thumb of religious regulators. (One broadcast suggested the deployment of a 'Spirit-Filled Police Force" that would KNOW - with the help of the Lord, of course - who the REAL criminals were.) The revolutionaries who got this country started were not, as Robertson would have us believe, a bunch of wig-headed Jez ...

Pre-prohibition First cultivated more than 5,000 years ago, marijuana is one of the oldest agricultural commodities not grown for food, as its stalks contain fibers that can be used for industrial purposes. The psychoactive effects of cannabis were first recorded by the Emperor of China Shennong in the 28th century BCE. The first American law concerning cannabis was passed by the Virginia General Assembly in 1619, which required every household to grow hemp since it was viewed as a "strategic necessity". Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and other colonies later allowed hemp to be used as legal tender, increasing production by farmers. Founding Fathers, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, grew hemp, though there is no evidence that they knew of the plant's psychoactive properties. Domestic production of hemp continued until the Civil War, when Russia began importing hemp products. Marijuana became a common ingredient in medicine during the second half of the 19th century, sold openly in phar ...

I find it curious that those who oppose Gun Control as an affront of their civil and constitutional rights, so casually flushed those same rights down the toilet under the Patriot Act. These are the same people that continually reference our "Founding Fathers" and the "Framers of Freedom" They selectively ignore Patrick Henry and Benjamin Franklin. I am not against firearm ownership as a whole, but all firearms should be registered, and all who own them should be required to have a license and take safety training classes. Using the same argument they did on the Patriot Act "Only those with something to hide should oppose this".

In the Founding Fathers principle of compromise, James Madison (States' Rightist) and Alexander Hamilton (Federalist) helped George Washington write his famous Farewell Address which emphasizied the threat of political parties.

Does that mean I have to renounce my nationality to become a world citizen? An exclusive nationality no longer represents you in terms of global problems, such as war and environmental devastation; it has already "renounced" you. Therefore, there is nothing to "renounce." In recognizing your actual world citizenship, you are thereby transcending the suicidal system, much as the Founding Fathers of the United States "transcended" the unworkable states' Articles of Confederation. National citizenship is an 18th century political fiction rendered obsolete by major world revolutions: technological, electronic, nuclear and space.

What I have just read sickens me. The line is being crossed ladies and gentlemen. I have just read a nine page PDF document from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that states that the current ban will be ineffective without confiscation. This is what I would call the sum of all fears. It calls for registration of firearms as starting point for complete banning and confiscation. This treasonous document is available online and is just being picked up by the some media outlets. This is proof that the corrupt want to disarm the law abiding citizens of our great country. It is here, end game. The powers that want to destroy the framework set forth by our Founding Fathers are at the gate. What was once speculation is now in black and white. I find it disturbing that the government that wants to arm its henchmen with thhe very arms it wants to take away from the law abiding population. Stockpiling ammunition and arming more employees? For what? The systematic dismantling of our most basic of rights. We need to te ...

The American Lenin by L. Neil Smith lneilharder and harder these days to tell a liberal from a conservative — given the former category’s increasingly blatant hostility toward the First Amendment, and the latter’s prissy new disdain for the Second Amendment — but it’s still easy to tell a liberal from a libertarian. Just ask about either Amendment. If what you get back is a spirited defense of the ideas of this country’s Founding Fathers, what you’ve got is a libertarian. By shameful default, libertarians have become America’s last and only reliable stewards of the Bill of Rights. But if — and this usually seems a bit more difficult to most people — you’d like to know whether an individual is a libertarian or a conservative, ask about Abraham Lincoln. Suppose a woman — with plenty of personal faults herself, let that be stipulated — desired to leave her husband: partly because he made a regular practice, in order to go out and get drunk, of stealing money she had earned herself b ...

The Illuminati was officially formed in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, the same year America was born. Many of our Founding Fathers who claimed to be Christians were actually member of the Illuminati. The architectural symbolism all over Washington D.C. is Illuminati and Freemasonry symbolism. For example, according to the historical legend of Nimrod and his wife Semiramis who built the Tower of Babel and created Babylon, there is a deep meaning behind architectural symbols such as the Washington Monument and the rest of the nation’s capital. Washington D.C. is a mirror city to the Vatican. The Washington Monument is a phallic symbol and the capital is the symbol of a womb. This is repeated in Egypt and many other cultures

I have decided, our nation needs a reboot. For politicians, wage evaluation, benefits, term limits, new blood mixed with old, and a reminder to all of what our Constitution was written for. I am sure our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves right now.

Letter to Senators Nelson,Rubio and Representative Wasserman-Schultz - - - feel free to use for your Senators and Representative. The Second Amendment does not give me the right to keep and bear arms; rather, it removes the Federal Government's ability to infringe upon that right. Our Founding Fathers realized that someday we might have leaders in the government that would attempt to take gun rights away and thus the Second Amendment. The Founding Fathers considered gun rights to be "natural" or God given rights given to every citizen of this nation. Certainly those rights should extend to every LEGAL alien in the country also. In fact, the first Ten Amendments does not bless the people with any rights given by the Federal Government but rather limits the power of the government to remove those natural, God given rights. Limits is the wrong word, they rather remove your ability in the government to change any of those rights. Get on your knees and ask a much higher power than yourself why we were given .. ...

A Warning to Americans from one of the original Founding Fathers. "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yeild, and government to gain ground." - Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, Paris, May 27, 1788

GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE United States Genealogical research in the United States was first systematized in the early 19th century, especially by John Farmer (1789–1838). Before Farmer's efforts, tracing one's genealogy was seen as an attempt by colonists to secure a measure of social standing within the British Empire, an aim that was counter to the new republic's egalitarian, future-oriented ethos. As Fourth of July celebrations commemorating the Founding Fathers and the heroes of the Revolutionary War became increasingly popular, however, the pursuit of 'antiquarianism,' which focused on local history, became acceptable as a way to honor the achievements of early Americans. Farmer capitalized on the acceptability of antiquarianism to frame genealogy within the early republic's ideological framework of pride in one's American ancestors. He corresponded with other antiquarians in New England, where antiquarianism and genealogy were well established, and became a coordinator, booster, and contributo ...

There are times in this country when I believe we attribute Sainthood to our Founding Fathers as if they were the continuation of the 12 Apostles. While they were learned men to be sure, not every action they committed nor every word that came forth from their mouths was ordained by God and since many were non-believers, I am sure they wouldn't have wanted us to think they were ordained in that way. 12 of them owned slaves I believe - they REALLY were just people. Just white men actually. So can anyone explain to me how this feeling of holy reverence occured? How did questioning the constitution become somehow almost sacrilegious? When we talk about gun rights and how some interpret the constitution, why is it that those of us with a different interpretation, are somehow seen as anti God and country? Just wondering because it makes no sense to me.

Wonderful day today with my kids. I had nothing organized but I went out and sat on the playground with bubbles n cookies and a Bible story. Ended up with 40 kids; I was alone so I am slightly exhausted. MORE ON GOD'S JUDGEMENT OF AMERICA. The massive hewn Stone that began the rebuilding process of the World Trade Center was smooth and beautiful, polished and inscribed. WE will rebuild. WE will be stronger than ever. WE; God is left out. Ex 20:25 If you make an alter of stone for Me, do not do it would dress stone, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it. God detests pride. Had we said; with the help of God or God willing we will overcome it would have been fine. But to leave God out and boast WE WILL, WE CAN just separates us from God even further. He is a loving God but he is a just God. To whom much is given much is required; He gave us everything, even his Son and just like Israel we turn our backs. The more I read the words of our Founding Fathers, the more I believe their words words were in ...

I agree with this. I'm a separation of church and state kind of guy. I think that our Founding Fathers used the word "Creator" in the Constitution on purpose to be all-inclusive rather than saying "God". And for those of you who like to say all of the time how the Constitution endorses christianity - how many times is Jesus mentioned in the Constitution??

Bryan Fischer was also rather involved in the 2012 presidential election. First he was one of the gaggle of goofballs who spoke at Rick Perry's "Response," along with one "preacher" who devoted his speech to a story about the Sun Goddess manifesting herself on earth so she could have sex with the Emperor of Japan. No, you can't make stuff like this up. Rachel did a segment about this group of cranially challenged mental patients. During the primaries, Republican candidates, Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and Tim Pawlenty were all guests on Fischer's show. Tim Pawlenty? And there really must not be any depth beneath which Newt won't sink if he senses potential political gain. But Willard wasn't invited. That slight might be attributable to Fischer's commentary about Mormonism and religious liberty: "Mormonism is not an orthodox Christian faith. It just is not ... It's very clear that the Founding Fathers did not intend to preserve automatically religious liberty for non-Christ ...

Watching a great movie "Killing Them Softly" Brad Pitt has a great line concerning Thomas Jefferson, "He is an American saint because he wrote the words " All Men Are Created Equal"l words he clearly didn't believe as he had slave kids, he was nothing but a rich wine snob who didn't want to pay his taxes to the Brits, so he wrote some lovely words while men died and he drank his wine and screwed his slave girls." Great line and so true why is America so enthralled with our Founding Fathers who were nothing but rich racist slave owners?

II. Understanding the Foundations of the American Republic A. The Holy Bible. Most readers should be familiar with the Bible, as were the Founding Fathers. B. Magna Carta 1297. Though short, the original text is dense and difficult reading. However, it is an interesting exercise to read through this early document that was in fact a contract between the sovereign and the free people. Sir Edward Coke argued logically for limitations on absolute monarchical power based on the Magna Carta. C. Survey readings about the English Civil War. This is a very dense period of English history, but it is critical to understand this part of history since it is the well spring of experience which the Founding Fathers shared. Especially recommended: 1. Catherine Drinker Bowen “The Lion and the Throne” 1958. A complex but very well written account of the life of Sir Edward Coke. Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction. Available used at abebooks.com for a reasonable price. 2. Michael Barone “Our First Revolu ...

Michael, Here are some famous quotes from some of the Founding Fathers dealing with religion: “I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature” ~ Thomas Jefferson “I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology” ~ Thomas Jefferson “Christianity neither is, nor ever was part of the common law” ~ Thomas Jefferson “And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, as the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors ~ Thomas Jefferson “Some volumes against Deism fell into my han ...

was squeezed onto the El train this morning between two guys threatening to give each other a beating...one of them holding a baby. The baby had a look on her face like she was ready to throw some punches too. I almost intervened by pointing out the Founding Fathers would frown upon such behavior as this.

I was reflecting on the nature of our Nation this evening, and what the Founding Fathers considered vital, reading some of the old Federalist and anti-Federalist Papers. This poem from Sir Walter came to mind. For 50 extra bonus points, name the movie that uses & abuses the last 5 lines. Sir Walter Scott. 1771–1832 547. Patriotism 1. Innominatus BREATHES there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land!' Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd As home his footsteps he hath turn'd 5 From wandering on a foreign strand? If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; 10 Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, 15 Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung.

We still have fictions, myths, about our Founding Fathers, JFK, Elvis, Obama, etc. Why is it so hard to understand or accept that what is accepted as fact for thousands of years is not so. In my lifetime, kids were still taught that young George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and told his father he could not tell a lie. Parson Weems fabricated this legend. We had tales of Davey Crockett and others. In my lifetime, I have witnessed so many fabrications and myths surrounding people who actually live, and some who did not. We can see how hard it is to dispell or override all the stories that arise in our short time on earth. How much more difficult is the task of dealing with myths and legends built up over a thousand or more years? Yet, just as Jesus reportedly was one against many, so too must I, or we, today make an effort to move forward, not backwards in our understanding of "God." No matter how unpopular we become. I have no doubt that were a Jesus alive on earth today, many of his so-called fol ...

I strongly believe the American dream is not dead. It's still alive in each and everyone of us. We just gotta take a stand and fight for it! It is not dead! It is in you, me, our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers! We must stand united as ONE! We must take back OUR America! Our America that our Founding Fathers dreamed of! It is not dead! Lets put all this political business aside, unite as one and come together in the name of Jesus and pull our Nation back together! We can do it! It's time we as AMERICANS stop being pushed around! Lets stand up and fight back! It's our time now! Lets take it!

I would like to share some thoughts with you. There are many who are concerned about martial law, lists of people to be taken out of their homes in the middle of the night, and the possibility of fighting a Civil War in America. I will attempt to address these concerns tonight. I'll start with the bad news. We have agencies buying large quantities of ammunition. We have drones over the US. NDAA and Patriot Act, enough said. Military exercises have been done in our cities recently, and our Federal Government is descending into totalitarianism nearly unchecked. There are many other disconcerting things happening, but I will not attempt to list all of them. The fact is that we are on a path our Founding Fathers never intended for us, and, in fact, were terrified of. Every nation that has embarked upon the path we are on has fallen into tyranny. Many are concerned that we may be forced into a second Civil War in America. Many are expressing concerns that martial law will be declared to impose tyrannical gover ...

WHEN we change the official United States national motto (in god we trust) and remove it from our currency, should we return the "Founding Fathers" original choice that we used for most of our history: "E Pluribus Unum," which is Latin for "One from many" or "One from many parts." It refers to the welding of a single federal state from a group of individual political units --originally colonies and now states. I think we should have a fresh and new start to a new beginning, looking ahead to the future and not cling to our past. It is about time our country lived up to its rhetoric. What should our motto be and what phrase should be on our currency, that truly represents our country or the country that we need to work to develop?

The Changing Constitution How would you change the Constitution? Here are some changes made in the past 200 years, and some changes for the future. You may have heard the U.S. Constitution called "a living document." Though it may seem like a dry piece of paper to you, it really is designed to live and grow as the nation grows. Even the Founding Fathers knew it might have to change with the times. Article Five of the Constitution spells it out: "The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses [the House and the Senate] shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution . . ." States were also given a chance to propose changes, or amendments. Three-fourths of the states have to approve the amendment for it to become law. In the past 200 years, the Constitution has been amended 27 times. The 13th Amendment, in 1865, forever banned the practice of slavery. The 15th Amendment, in 1870, gave all citizens the right to vote, regardless of their race. Americans have added laws only to take th ...

Not to give them any ideas, but the next thing you know, the government will be trying to ban assault hands, whether you sanitize them or not. Any hand declared to be an 'assault hand' (having more than 3 fingers, having an opposable thumb, or "gasp!!" wearing a thin black glove) will be defined as 'Evil', 'Scary', and 'never imagined by the Founding Fathers'. Any persons possessing such extreme extremities will be required to Register with the Government so they can Protect us from our silly and uncontrolled selves.

I received the following letter this evening from an acquaintance. Yes, I believe that he is right. Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Dear John, The growing sentiment across the country is that the armed half of the population is saying NO to ANY new Gun Control. This is EXACTLY what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they gave us the Second Amendment. We, the armed half of the country, truly hold the power, and THAT is what Obama, Biden, Feinstein, Bloomberg and their treasonous ilk fear. Gun Control is NOT about preventing another Sandy Hook or Columbine. Gun Control is about disarming the populace to shift the balance of power into an ever expanding, freedom stealing government run by liars, *** and thieves! History has proven time and time again that it is dangerous to believe laws to restrict law-abiding citizens from having semi-automatic weapons will reduce violent crime. Just the opposite occurs when you disarm the law abiding. Sandy Hook is another perfect example of the fallacy of Gun Control. H ...

From one our Founding Fathers, "In English, the exact term is an offshoot of the phrase, "wall of separation between church and state", as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. In that letter, referencing the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Jefferson writes: "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State." Jefferson reflected his frequent speaking theme that the government is not to interfere with religion." You will see that the GOVERNMENT is NOT to INTERFERE with religion. And THAT is EXACT ...

This is an interesting article and the story is correct as far as it goes. However there is a part that comes before this that is very important to understand and appreciate how this came about. In June 1878 George Armstrong Custer went out to Montana just west of this reservation with the intention of beating up the Indians. He ran into Chief Crazy Horse and his friends at Little Big Horn and got his *** kicked as we all know. The deciding factor in that battle was the army was armed with single shot Springfield rifles and the Indians were better equipped with those new lever action repeaters {1878 assualt rifles} made by Henry and Winchester. The Indians were able to defend themselves agains federal tyranny just as our Founding Fathers had planned. After lengthy political machinations and government threats and promises the Indians moved back to the reservations and GAVE UP THEIR GUNS in exchange for promises of safety , government handouts and protection. Of course they "didn't need" those lev ...

Either you live under a rock, or you’re well aware that Russell Crowe is the latest leading man to squeeze into the role of Robin Hood. No he doesn’t sport the mean ‘stache of Errol Flynn, and no he doesn’t quite have the high-pitch, feminine squeal of Kevin Costner that we’ve all come to know and hate. The one constant between all three films however, is that Hollywood never fails in pointing to the tale of Robin Hood as a parable for modern socialism. “Steal from the rich, and give to the poor!” is the rhetoric you’ll undoubtedly hear. The only problem with that… Is that Robin Hood never “stole from the rich.” He instead stole from an oppressive government that had taxed its citizens into poverty, and returned the wealth back to its rightful owners. Essentially, Robin Hood put a smackdown on the medieval equivalent of the IRS. As the quintessential anti-government revolutionary, the Prince of Thieves would have more in common with the likes of our Founding Fathers than that of Marx ...

Christopher Dorner is a murderous nut-job! No different than Timothy McVeigh, or Ted Kaczynski, or John Allen Muhammad, John Dillinger, Clyde Barrow, or Pretty Boy Floyd, or Archie Cody, or Jessie James, or Billy the Kid! Some have declared him a hero for being a “cop killer”; mainly because he is black. It has been declared that the LAPD is and has always been racist towards “minorities.” Well, setting aside the fact that just about anyone in authority positions in California are corrupt – naturally as leftwing progressives are – I have a view on Mr. Dorner and all so called outlaw heroes of our past. What should make an outlaw a hero? Well one is a stance against an oppressive authority. Another is a belief in a principled position. Some of our truly honorable and greatest “outlaws” are Moses, Christ Jesus, Martin Luther, John Wycliffe, our Founding Fathers, those involved in the underground railroad, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gandhi to name a few. One thing different between the two ...

Old Salem Museums & Gardens in conjunction with The Historic Division of Mars is presenting "Chocolate-Dipped History: Celebrating Coffee, Tea and American Heritage ChocolateR," a day of fun events, tastings and activities at Old Salem on Saturday, March 2 from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Drinking chocolate, tea and coffee were popular all over early America, including Salem.

Props, Mark Farkasm Farkas! "Please show me where the 1st Amendment says you can have high-speed internet and "assault computers" capable of firing off THOUSANDS of emails a minute. I think we all knew the Founding Fathers were talking about handing out leaflets and speaking in town hall meetings when they wrote the 1st Amendment. They never intended us to be able to communicate so quickly. In fact, it's DANGEROUS!! Everyday criminals and terrorists use the internet to plan and coordinate crimes and attacks against America. For this reason, we're going to go ahead and restrict your 1st Amendment Rights. We're not TAKING THEM AWAY per se. You can still speak in public or print leaflets (please though, only a handcrank ink press, no assault laser printers)." ~Kevin Walberg Derek Schmitt, Peter Olson, Laura Olson

" I won't kneel to Nazis, I won't kneel to Muslims: I'll take my oath into battle and wipe both from the shores of my nation and from the face of the earth. I have no intention of being "tolerant" or being "politically correct." The heritage and legacy left to me by our Founding Fathers as an American Citizen and Patriot is mine by birth. It is my birth right, and those who live among me who not only refuse to learn, understand, believe, embrace and apply their sacred duty, obligation and responsibility to preserve, protect and defend our Republican Ideal of Liberty embodied in the thoughts, attitudes, words and culture found in the DOI, Constitution and Bill of Rights, therefore do not know their rights, consequently have no rights and subsequently have no right to live in this great nation of ours.

Test for American History finished and ready to go. 1. What was the significance of Bacon's Rebellion? 2. Identify 3 specific ways in which William Penn influenced the Founding Fathers? 3. Why was Locke's "Two Teatises on Govenrment" considered the philosophical foundation of the American Revolution?

After the colonies were declared in rebellion before penning the Declaration of Independence the Founding Fathers searched for a historical precedent for asserting their independence from the Insane Prince George III king of England, France and etc. They found it in a gathering that took place 561 years earlier on the plains of Runnymede, not far from where Windsor Castle stands today. There, on June 15, 1215, an assembly of barons confronted a despotic and cash-strapped King John and demanded that English Peers be given powers. This was the Magna Carta who's principles ebb and flow depending on the power of the King relative to the Parlament. Its main two provisions still in effect are the powers of the Church and the rights of the Barrons and higher ranking peers enshrined in the House of Lords and the courts. It was promptly annuled by the Pope. The powers of the Church were seized by the King who is the defender of the old faith (Pope disagrees). Lords support it. It made reference to the rig ...

interesting read Benghazi Attack Was Retaliation For Brennan’s Secret Al-Qaeda War February 14, 2013 By Kris Zane Many refer to the President of the United States, leader of the sole superpower in the world, as the most powerful person on the face of the Earth. It follows then that Barack Hussein Obama, as President, would be considered this person. But that would be an incorrect conclusion. Even Obama with his “we can’t wait for Congress to act” meme, spurning the legislative branch, spurning the checks and balances the Founding Fathers put in place—even with Obama spurning the Courts in the recent NLRB ruling deeming his “recess” appointments unconstitutional, there is one man who wields more power than Obama: CIA appointee John Brennan. How can that be? Brennan is man who is actually relatively low in the White House food chain, who is nothing more than an adviser to the President, with the title of Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. Yet this man ...

Ambassador Ettinger will be speaking Saturday evening at 6:30PM at B’nai Israel Synagogue on the importance of Judea and Samaria to Israel’s security and on Sunday evening at 6:00PM at the First Pentecostal Church in Pensacola on the Founding Fathers support of the renewal of the Jewish Commonwealth, Israel. Yesterday, he had time to visit, Pensacola’s Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, engaged in leading edge technology developments a possible bridge to Israel’s own high tech driven economy. Ambassador Ettinger was interviewed at the airport by the media, Pensacola News Journal and an ABC affiliate WEAR-TV Channel 3. Following his comments, captured in excerpts from a PNJ article, “Ex-Israeli Ambassador in Pensacola for weekend tour”, he held a teachable moment answering questions from the students of the High Point School. In his airport comments Ettinger stressed the importance of Israel’s enduring relations with the US and the impact of the Arab Spring, Iran’s nuclear program . ...

I believe you are a Patriotic American. I believe you know what is right, just, and fair for the People. You have had to go along with a political force that plans to purposefully harm America. Hilmar Von Campe was a Nazi youth soldier. He has told us that the senate, house, and White House, is more like Nazi Germany, than the way our Founding Fathers wanted it to be. Furthermore, he awakened us to the Nazi techniques Obama are using. Vote out God, and the Government is the ultimate authority. Destroy morality, create divisiveness, and confusion, then the society will collapse, and the Politicians can take over. ObamaCare is dysfunctional, and very problematic. We the People do not want it, but Obama is non-negotiable, and keeps adding new laws. The youth army is dedicated to Obama. They are approved to be the main guide if Martial Law is declared. Reduce the regular army, and have a civilian army of equal power - very Nazi. You know all this, and even more than I know. You have a position, a time ...

Bill Smith owns several semi-automatic weapons. They make him feel safer and better about himself. They make him believe that his wife is not cheating on him. They make him forget the three newer, younger, workers who have been promoted over his head. The holsters still fit over his expanding belly, as long as he lets the straps out a notch or two. Bill keeps a Glock 9 in his truck. His assault rifle is a genuine replica of the “combat version” and it was so easy to convert it to a fully automatic. When Bill holds it, it almost makes him feel like he once served in the military. Bill sent away for armor-piercing rounds. Bill Smith firmly believes that God made him a good and righteous man. Bill also believes that Jesus wants him to have firearms to defend his home and all that is good and righteous against the “bad guys,” but mostly against the coming government invasion. Bill believes that God told the Founding Fathers to write the Second Amendment, so that he could be a militia soldier in the r ...

A fourth-grade class course of study at Rosedale Elementary School recently culminated with a visit to the school from local law enforcement personnel for a discussion of a variety of subjects. According to the fourth-graders’ teacher, Melinda Foster-Michel, the project was geared toward guiding the students in “Social Studies West Virginia Next Generation Standards” such as identifying, explaining and critiquing American democratic values, principles and beliefs; and comparing and contrasting powers of branch of government, responsibilities and rights. Questions asked included: What was put in place by the Founding Fathers to ensure a fair and equitable set of laws that is relevant to our society today?; What three branches of government were created in the U.S. Constitution?; and Who are our leaders in each of these branches? Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler, Chief Deputy Mike Fridley, Sgt. Nick Mooney and Mooney’s K-9 partner, Riko, were on hand to discuss a variety of topics concerning the ...

"Our U.S. Federal Government has changed dramatically since its creation in 1789. Several of the core principles that guided the Founding Fathers and shaped our democracy are beyond recognition today, specifically the balance of power between the states and Washington. In 1788, Founding Father James Madison wrote the following words: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State Governments are numerous and indefinite.” We’ve certainly come a long way from Madison’s intent when he explained the fundamental premise of our new government in the Federalist Papers all those years ago. It’s no secret our Federal Government has been overstepping its bounds and growing at an alarming rate, especially in recent years. This federal power grab over commerce issues, health-care issues, personal matters and more has encroached on powers that the Founding Fathers intended to reserve for state governments. We, as U.S. ...

The report on the what the Tea Party refers to as a debate on the Constitutional Necessary and Proper Clause. I would rather have it referred to as a discussion, but whatever. They doubled up on me, but I, and I am trying to be humble here, they needed a couple more and a lot more energy. After a couple long allusions to football fields and football games (the kids having a lot of trouble staying with those), and a read-from-script seven minute introduction by Robert, we got to the heart of the matter. Basically, I followed their points and woke the kids up. I tried to make the point that the country has grown in ways the Founding Fathers could not possibly imagine, but they wrote a document that future generations can adapt to changing conditions that they find themselves and solve their problems within the framework of the Constitution. Honest and sincere people can have honest disagreements about how to adapt to these changing conditions. I about fell over when Robert (the Tea Party hired gun) u ...

Founding Fathers respond to Obama State of the Union 2013 from The Federalist Papers No. 84: "I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why for instance, should it be said, that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained[or the right to keep and bear arms in any manner], when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretence for claiming that power. " Gun Control was never granted as a power to the Federal Government and on that basis alone all su ...

As Robin Simon points out in a FB post, today is Grant Wood's birthday. She posted a photo of "American Gothic," which resides at the Art Institute of Chicago. These are two of his satiric paintings. The first is "Daughters of Revolution," a painting in which he slyly damned the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1927 Wood received a commission to create a stained glass window in the Cedar Rapids, IA Veterans Memorial Stadium. He didn't like the quality of glass available from American sources, so obtained German glass. The DAR made a stink about it and the window was not installed at the time. He responded with his "Daughter" painting, using as his models the faces of 3 of the Founding Fathers of the US. The second painting is "Appraisal," in which a local dowager looks on a farm woman unapprovingly. The dowager's face is the same shape as the chicken's. The farm woman's face is that of a local man who was one of Wood's friends. The question of why Wood turned local and historic men into cross-dres ...

On occasion the Teaparty.org receives an email or letter complaining about our language or complaining about how we’ve presented topics in an unpolished manner. Some confused citizens consider us a bunch of rude, crude and impolite troublemakers. What do I say to that? "Hey, thanks for the compliment!” When we read comments like that we know we are doing a good job for this is exactly what our Founding Fathers were called during the battle for our independence. We will not hold anything back. We do not play it safe. And we certainly do not apologize. We carry the flag whether fellow conservatives like it or not--and no, they probably won’t. Right now, many in the Republican Party are hungry for victory. Instead of setting the pace, they are licking their lips, waiting to devour the Tea Party and cannibalize hard-working patriots who have defied them and wielded the power of the conservative vote. Still there are others--disoriented Kool-Aid drinkers--who are trying to create new organizations to cha ...

I was glad to see Rand Paul invoke Adam Smith. Ron Paul strangely never invoked Adam Smith - only the Vienna school. Adam Smith is closer to the Founding Fathers and the Vienna school is built on Smith. But Smith is better in the sense that he saw the threat of big business using government to undercut the market. The Vienna school's advantage is works more with monterary policy. A reflection that Adam Smith was fathering modern classic economics - the whole monetary and currency issues arose once Free Enterprise took root in America.

Are you ready for a 2nd Amendment rant?!?!?! Well here goes.What is the 1st Amendment? Well, it is what our Founding Fathers considered the most important piece of our Constitution, thus it was the 1st Amendment. It is the hallmark of what it means to be an American. It mentions the rights that we have that for the most part, at that time, nobody else had.it was and is ultimately what makes us FREE. Can we all agree on this? Of course we can because it is still taught in our schools. OK, next.the 2nd Amendment, it is what was written to ultimately protect our 1st Amendment. The 2nd Amendment is the ultimate safety net which was written for the purpose to show all exactly how important the 1st Amendment was and still is. The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting or enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon cleaning your AR. It is about Freedom and the protection of that Freedom. It is there for each and every CITIZEN (we will discuss later what constitutes a Citizen) to protect their Certa ...

Exploring The History Of Philadelphia - Philadelphia is a city rich in history, and simply walking the streets and looking at landmarks is a great introduction to American culture and our nations beginnings In addition to being the meeting place for the Founding Fathers to sign the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, the city also played an integral role in the Revolutionary War, the Great Migration, and other historical events and movements that have helpe...

Senator Marco Rubio's assertion that reform of our gun laws in the wake of Newtown and other countless tragedies would violate the Second Amendment is a smear on the Federalist who wrote it, and on all our Founding Fathers. Disgusting and insenstive GOP response on a night when so many gun violence survivors are right there in Washington, District of Columbia.

I'm reading No Easy Day, it's pretty good! I'm in awe more all the time of how heroic and amazing our servicemen are. They are what the Founding Fathers envisioned our actual leaders would be: farmers, laborers, blue collar workers who love our country to the point they would give the ultimate personal sacrifice. I love them.

After months of hard work and determination, alumni, brothers, and inductees gathered together on January 26, 2013 to witness and experience the memorable induction of 34 men who are now the Founding Fathers of the Florida Xi Colony of Phi Delta Theta at the University of North Florida.

Essay on the Use of the Word Militia in the 2nd Amendment. --DBTsr (Disclaimer: I didn't write what follows "Myth". I found it some time ago, I don't recall who compiled it.) I do not think the 2nd Amendment should be repealed. But my understanding of this controversy is not as most people take it. Here is every mention of Militia in the Constitution and a discussion of the The Militia Act of 1792 which defines what a Militia is. Read it. I think you will then understand why I contend that Scalia got his ruling WRONG, and there should be no "general" or "absolute" right to own weapons apart from participation in a militia. An ORGANIZED state or federal militia. Myth: “The Second Amendment is to Overthrow the Government.” What the Founding Fathers put in the Constitution and other laws about the Militia: Article I, Section 8 lists these among the powers of Congress: 1. To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; 2. To provide fo ...

Emancipation Proclamation Main articles: Abraham Lincoln and slavery and Emancipation Proclamation A dark-haired, bearded, middle-aged man holding documents is seated among seven other men. Lincoln presents the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet. Painted by Francis Bicknell Carpenter in 1864 Lincoln understood that the Federal Government's power to end slavery was limited by the Constitution, which before 1865, committed the issue to individual states. He argued before and during his election that the eventual extinction of slavery would result from preventing its expansion into new U.S. territory. At the beginning of the war, he also sought to persuade the states to accept compensated emancipation in return for their prohibition of slavery. Lincoln believed that curtailing slavery in these ways would economically expunge it, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, under the constitution.[180] President Lincoln rejected two geographically limited emancipation attempts by Major Gene ...

Today in Black History for February 12th 1793 - Congress passed the first Fugitive Slave Law to implement the provisions in the Constitution. It stated that to reclaim an escaped slave a master needed only to go before a magistrate and provide oral or written proof of ownership. The magistrate would then issue an order for the arrest of the slave. 1809 Abraham Lincoln was born February 12, 1809. Lincoln was a moderate Republican, opposing slavery primarily because it violated the republicanism principles of the Founding Fathers, especially the equality of all men and democratic self-government as expressed in the Declaration of Independence. Lincoln however strongly supported the Fugitive Slave Act. 1865 - Henry Highland Garnet, first Black to speak in the Capitol, delivered memorial sermon on the abolition of slavery at services in the House of Representatives. Henry Highland Garnet was born a slave in New Market, Maryland, in 1815. 1869 - Isaac Murphy, famous jockey dies. 1882 - Black rights activist He ...

OPEN LETTER TO President Obama...Some parts of this are borrowed from Patriot Friends I assume you studied Constitutional Law and the Federalist Papers in law school (the two cannot be separated in understanding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights).. County Sheriffs can stop Gun Control. Did you know that no matter what Gun Control laws are passed by the Federal Government, they can only be enforced in your area if your County Sheriff allows them to be. The ultimate legal authorities in the land are the county sheriffs. This was established from the time of the Founding Fathers and upheld by the US Supreme Court in the 1997 case of Printz v. United States. Initially, the case was Mack v. United States, but by the time it reached the Supreme Court it was renamed. Sheriffs and Legislatures in a number of states are asserting their rights under the Constitution to nullify the assault on the 2nd Amendment. Furthermore, The *** Act of 1902, also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June . ...

I am NOT a "birther!" I couldn't care less where ovomit was born, because THAT is NOT the issue! If you want to call me a name, call me a "NATURAL BORNER," because I DO care about where his alleged goat-herder father was born, and it WASN'T the USA! That means, according to Emmerich Vattel's definition in his signature work, THE LAW OF NATIONS, upon which the Founding Fathers heavily relied when writing the Constitution, that ovomit is NOT eligible to be President since only ONE of his parents was an American citizen at the time of his birth! Therefore, since this is true of ovomit, it is also true for anyone ELSE who may want to be President, even if they were born here but did NOT have TWO citizen parents at the time of his/her birthI That would include such people as MARIO RUBIO, so PLEASE don't ask me to support him even though he is ineligible, after I've spent FOUR YEARS not supporting ovomit because he is ineligible! That goes for anyone ELSE who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen, as well!

An important message from Candidate Benjamin Krause: Here are some TRUE Patriots. I will spare you the Founding Fathers here and I will show you some examples of patriots that came after the year 1900. I want to show you that just because the system became corrupt; TRUE Patriots did not: (these are in no particular order) 1. Theodore Roosevelt - President from 1901-1909. To be fair, a good portion of his deeds were before 1900; so I shall focus on his Presidency and afterward. No President has had so much gall to speak his mind and the truth since Teddy did. Although he overstepped Constitutional bounds; this one President did it in ways that protected those who had no voice before hand. At the time of his Presidency, America was still very much a Republic. So, what did Roosevelt do? Besides creating a much needed Food and Drug Administration, he also created the first National Parks and thrust the first major Conservation efforts. He bust the large monopolies of the day and put into effect Labor Laws tha ...

Flags aren't flying at half staff for Chris Kyle's funeral today, but they were for Whitney Houston. A cop killer has a fan club and FB doesn't consider photos of dead officers as graphic. There was more news coverage this morning about the Grammy's than the burial of an American Hero today and stay tuned for an hour long special on who wore the best gown. Pretty sure Walt Disney and Dr. Martin Luther King are rolling in their graves along with America's Founding Fathers. That is all.

David Williams A Lesson in History Sons of Liberty: American citizens, armed and forming a civilian militia, not part of the regular military, fought against the government and its tyranny. The group was formed to protect the rights of the colonists and to take to the streets against the tyranny of the government. They are best known for undertaking the Boston Tea Party in 1773, which led to the Intolerable Acts (an intense crackdown by the government, including gun confiscation), and a counter-mobilization by the Patriots. Many of the leaders were Freemasons (Samuel Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere, to name a few). These freedom-fighters were instrumental in winning the Revolutionary War. After winning against the government, many of the Sons of Liberty and other Founding Fathers (Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, Richard Henry Lee, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Noah Webster, Tench Coxe, Thomas Paine, and many others) insisted on the right to maintain ...

Just think how many people did the same thing in every county, state and precinct in America. That is exactly why Obummer won the second election. I believe the first election was probably 3 or 4 votes for each Obummer, low knowledged voter. I think we need to have (3) Presidents for each election and that half of their ability to hire Czars and to do Presidential orders should stop. This is the reason our Founding Fathers decided on the three separations of government. Congress for the making of laws, The Supreme Court for the equal justice for government and the citizens of the USA and the Presidential, executive office for the execution of those laws. The reason for (3) presidents I mentioned is so that they would have to have a majority for any presidential order that is done behind our backs, so that they can override these sneeky presidential orders when one president starts having Kingly-like feelings go up his leg and his first lady starts with the Queenly type feelings go up her big butt. So, tha ...

"Christians like to claim that the founding fathers were faithful Christians; Atheists have claimed that the Founding fathers were atheist. Neither is right. Most of the Founding Fathers were not doctrinaire Christians. Ben Franklin was a deist, not a Christian, and said that lighthouses were more useful than churches. Thomas Paine despised religion, and denounced it--but he said he was a deist and thus a believer in some kind of God. George Washington was very skeptical about religion and was no doctrinaire Christian. Jefferson had some sense of mystical deism, and respected Jesus, saying the best of the New Testament was like diamonds in a dungheap. They were neither Christian nor atheist..." (thank you John Shirley). 'nuff said.

So tired of seeing and hearing the New World Order sophist and shill, Glenn Beck heaping scorn, derision, and ridicule upon the "inspiration of Almighty," which is the Monroe Doctrine and the viewpoint of the US Founding Fathers, championed solely in our time by Ron Paul within the two party sham and charade. Beck, sorry to say, is a wolf in Sheeps clothing. The time will soon come that his handlers and masters will replace him with another, and throw him under their bus after the make full use of him and as his audience more and more desert him for his duplicity on many topics.

THE PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT By Ezra Taft Benson President Nelson, My Fellow Americans, I stand before you tonight, humbly grateful to God, for the blessings we all enjoy as citizens of these Great Untied States of America. I am grateful for our Founding Fathers, who were raised up with the courage to give their lives, but the unselfishness to give their fortunes, and the vision to pledge their sacred honor, in order to establish a new kind of government, of our own choosing, where we might be free. I'm additionally grateful that these Founding Fathers had the Faith and Humility to accept the Divine Inspiration so necessary in setting forth the Constitution as the Foundation for their new Republic. I am honored with the privilege to be addressing you tonight on the vital subject of "The Proper Role of Government." Men in the public spotlight constantly are asked to express an opinion on a myriad of government proposals and projects. “What do you think of TVA?” “What is your opinion of Medicare?” ...

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, first chief justice John Jay names synonymous with the spirit of our country Founding Fathers of the U.S.A. Over 200 years ago they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain by divine call citing 27 biblical violations they wrote the Declaration of Independence with liberty and justice for all. But something happened since Jefferson called the bible the cornerstone for American liberty then put it in our schools as a light or since "give me liberty or give me death", Patrick Henry said our country was founded on the gospel of Jesus Christ. We eliminated God from the equation of American life thus eliminating the reason this nation first began. From beyond the grave I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead “you need God in America again. Of the 55 men who formed the Constitution fifty-two were active members of their church founding fathers like Noah Webster who wrote the first dictionary, could literally quote the bible chapter and ver . ...

Have children? Be very concerned... Part ONE...Part TWO to follow...if you have children in school...you need to be well aware... Rotten to the Core: Obama's War on Academic Standards (Part 1) Michelle Malkin America's downfall doesn't begin with the "low-information voter." It starts with the no-knowledge student. For decades, collectivist agitators in our schools have chipped away at academic excellence in the name of fairness, diversity and social justice. "Progressive" reformers denounced Western civilization requirements, the Founding Fathers and the Great Books as racist. They attacked traditional grammar classes as irrelevant in modern life. They deemed ability grouping of students (tracking) bad for self-esteem. They replaced time-tested rote techniques and standard algorithms with fuzzy math, inventive spelling and multicultural claptrap. Under President Obama, these top-down mal-formers -- empowered by Washington education bureaucrats and backed by misguided liberal philanthropists led by billio ...

Thomas Jefferson was a Diest, that I know for fact and Ben Franklin was an Athiest, that I know of, which he was a scientist and an inventer so it's kind of expected. James Madison was a devout Christian and George Washington belonged to the Unitarian Church as did John Adams, actually a great majority of the Founding Fathers belonged to the Unitarian Church, some were even extremely religious Quakers. Ben Franklin was a humble man who respected the religious beleifs of his fellow Americans. Thomas Jefferson did call Christianity the greatest scourge on mankind in the unedited Declaration (because Great Britain used Christianity to terrorize it's citizens) which Benjamin Franklin changed because he knew it would offend many members of Congress. The Founders' beleifs were very diverse.

Thomas Jefferson and the other Founders didn't write our nation's great documents on their own. There were several great men whose writings influenced them quite a lot. One of them is a hero of mine, English political philosopher John Locke. Know what he says about redistribution of wealth? "[A] man's property is not at all secure, though there be good and equitable laws to set the bounds of it between him and his fellow subjects, if he who commands those subjects have [sic] power to take from any private person what part he pleases of his property, and use and dispose of it as he thinks good." That's from his Second Treatise of Government, a work that had tremendous influence on our own Declaration of Independence, down to the wording of certain passages. Thus, it's likely Jefferson, Madison, and the other Founding Fathers of this country would concur.

Tennessee Senate Republican Caucus Weekly Update “Founding Fathers Plan Plus” resolution approved by Senate Judiciary Committee (NASHVILLE, Tenn.), February 7, 2013 – The Senate Judiciary approved major legislation this week that alters the way Tennessee’s appellate judges are chosen, mirroring the Founding Fathers plan in the U.S. Constitution. Senate Joint Resolution 2, named the “Founding Fathers Plan Plus,” would allow the governor to appoint judges for eight-year terms subject to confirmation by the legislature. Approval by the 108th General Assembly requires a two-thirds plurality and is step two of a three-step process of amending the state constitution. Step one occurred when the resolution passed the Senate and the House with bipartisan support last year. Step three is a ratification vote by the people on the November 2014 ballot. “This amendment follows the tried and true system of our founding fathers,” said Sen. Kelsey. “It will put to rest the constitutional questions s ...

Operative Masonry of EUROPE gave way to EURO-FREEMASONRY ON JUNE 24, 1717 A.D. Yorkshire,England at the Apple Tree Tavern. Thats when the European first Grand Lodge was formed in London, England. The old rituals that could be formed were gathered together. DR. James Anderson(1680 AD-1739 AD) A Presbyterian Minister and Scotsman,was commissioned to use them as a basis for Constitutions to govern all Euro-Freemasons. James Anderson's Constitutions of 1723 A.D IS STILL THE BASIS FOR ALL EURO-MASONIC LAW. But the Truth is Yorkshire are Negroids who taught the Europeans. Refer to the ''Yorkshire Moors Family Crest''of Yorshire,England. The were British Families, the Moors of Yorshire, including Sir Thomas Moor, Chancellor of Henry VIII( Yorkshire Genealogist, Vol.2 pg 78) The others are from Fairbarns Book of Crest; Fox-Davis Armorial Families; and Elwen's Book of Crest. So it means that the ORIGINAL Founding Fathers from England were MOORS not CAUCASOIDS.

For any of you who say USA wasn't founded on Godly (Christian) principles and quote the battle of Tripoli as your source, read the whole thing don't pervert it to fit your agenda. The Battle Of Tripoli by David Barton - 01/2000 The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, specifically article XI, is commonly misused in editorial columns, articles, as well as in other areas of the media, both Christian and secular. We have received numerous questions from people who have been misled by the claims that are being made, namely, that America was not founded as a Christian nation. Advocates of this idea use the Treaty of Tripoli as the foundation of their entire argument, and we believe you deserve to know the truth regarding this often misused document. The following is an excerpt from David Barton's book Original Intent: To determine whether the "Founding Fathers" were generally atheists, agnostics, and deists, one must first define those terms. An "atheist" is one who professes to believe that there is no God; 1 an "agnostic ...

God, Jobs, Borders, Language and Culture For the spiritual health of our nation—and for its ultimate survival—God will not be divorced from State or Federal Government. This nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, and Americans have a God-given right to worship the way they see fit without any interference of any governmental authority. I believe that all human life is sacred, and I believe that life begins at conception. I agree with our Founding Fathers that our Creator God endows us with certain unalienable rights. One of those rights is the right to life, especially for babies the most innocent of all human life. Abortion will not be used as a form of retroactive birth control. Parental notification about juvenile pregnancy will be mandatory. I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. To be a United States Citizen is a privilege and a blessing. Observing different cultures is what makes America great. However, celebrating different cultures will not take precedenc ...

But to allow students to recite America’s Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic offends me in two ways. First is the ‘one nation under Allah.’ Sorry folks, but Allah and the God of the Bible and our Founding Fathers are not the same thing. There are huge differences between the Muslim Allah and the Christian/Jewish God of the Bible. To change the Pledge to say Allah is offensive to me as a Christian and as an American. Second, there are millions of Arab Muslims that have vowed to see the United States destroyed or converted into an Islamic nation. They are working hard to make themselves appear like they are our friends, when in reality they want to change everything that is good and wholesome about America

I'm so oblivious that Michael Austin had to connect the dots for me this morning: while he never mentions Friends University, and while he got the part about Stiglitz wrong (I haven't assigned anything by him), Occam's Razor suggests that this caller to Sean Hannity's show, a man worried about the effects on his girlfriend of a "Constitutional Law" class being taught at a "Christian college" in Wichita, Kansas, which has made use of Michael's book about the abuse of the Founding Fathers by right-wing interpreters of the Constitution (as I have), is talking about me. I suppose that makes me famous/notorious, indirectly at least.

It's Ronald Reagan's birthday and what more appropriate way to help celebrate other than to post here some of his "brilliant" quotes: GREAT THOUGHTS OF Ronald Reagan "A tree's a tree. How many more do you need to look at?" -- Ronald Reagan (Governor of California), quoted in the Sacramento Bee, opposing expansion of Redwood National Park, March 3, 1966 "All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk." --Ronald Reagan (Republican candidate for president), quoted in the Burlington (Vermont) Free Press, February 15, 1980 "It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas." --Ronald Reagan (candidate for Governor of California), interviewed in the Fresno Bee, October 10, 1965 "...the moral equal of our Founding Fathers." --President Reagan, describing the Nicaraguan contras, March 1, 1985 "Fascism was really the basis for the New Deal." --Ronal ...

Today's America, is a very different image then what our Founding Fathers saw. The difference is grave and dark. No one knows exactly where it started, or why, but it did; Taking with it the freedom and the will to want to live. In America, children have become the target of raging abuse, in all forms. Psychological, Physical and Emotion abuse, has struck the nation, against the Nations youth. This horrible, “disease” has struck the heart of America, knocking it off its feet, sending the world into a spin of indecision, hurt and miss-happenings. What causes this abuse? Why does it occur? What are the statistics? How often does this occur? All of these questions are valuable, and come with valuable answers that will be explored throughout the papers; each answer being able to configure a deeper meaning and support for the victims of this horrible epidemic. Many Americans and non -Americans alike wonder as to what causes Child Abuse and Neglect. There isn't a distinct answer to this important qu ...

The Fullness of Iniquity. By Pete Garcia ''And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.'' (Daniel 5:25-28) By the time our Founding Fathers got around to establishing us as a nation, American’s had already been roughing it in the wilderness colonies for almost 200 years. The first colonies began in the late 1500’s with settlements in places like Roanoke and Jamestown. As the colonies grew and states began to form, the Articles of Confederation were written to hold some type of governmental structure for the newly formed states. But it proved too weak to hold them together. Our founding fathers had the foresight to establish a Constitutional Republic governed by the rule of law. The United States Constitution came to be in 1789, and it struck the perfect ...

Randi Rhodes on various subjects Donald Trump has responded to Bobby Jindal’s comments about the Republicans being the “party of stupid” by calling Jindal stupid. According to Trump, “you don’t use the word stupid because the word stupid is now going to be part of the vocabulary of the Democrats.” And the Democrats are already so far ahead in the vocabulary department! The AR-15 assault rifle is the “musket of today” according to NRA President David Keene. That was the gun used in the Newtown massacre. I don’t recall many cases of the Founding Fathers using muskets to slaughter schoolchildren. For a lunatic to kill as many children as were killed in the Newtown massacre with a musket, they would have to pack about a pound of black gunpowder… and at least one meal, because this is going to take a while. And if the AR-15 is the musket of today, then the musket of 100 years from now will be a handheld laser death ray capable of wiping out all life on planet earth in a matter of seconds. K ...

"And the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was never intended to destroy the States' power to govern themselves, making the Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth Amendments superfluous. My Brother BRENNAN's opinion, if carried to its logical conclusion, would, under the guise of insuring equal protection, blot out all state power, leaving the 50 States as little more than impotent figureheads. In interpreting what the Fourteenth Amendment means, the Equal Protection Clause should not be stretched to nullify the States' powers over elections which they had before the Constitution was adopted and which they have retained throughout our history. Of course, the ORIGINAL design of the Founding Fathers was ALTERED by the Civil War Amendments and various other amendments to the Constitution. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Nineteenth Amendments have expressly authorized Congress to "enforce" the limited prohibitions of those amendments by "appropriate legislation." --400 U.S. 112 (1970) OREGO ...

More wisdom from the Founding Fathers and others Republicans especially love to quote the Founders on limited government and Gun Control, and I agree with their sentiments on those issues. I post a lot of those quotes and the associated memes myself. But there's a lot more the Founders and some other men, many who are highly respected by Republicans, have said that they seem to not have heard or just ignore because they are in direct opposition to the policies of modern Republicans. Here are some of them, including James Madison eerily prophesying America's response to 9/11 and it's chilling affect on personal liberty(the first three quotes), along with quotes from Washington, Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Alexis de Tocqueville, Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and even candidate GWB...

The Politics of Debt in America2.4.13by Steve FraserFrom Debtor’s Prison to Debtor Nation.Shakespeare’s Polonius offered this classic advice to his son: “neither a borrower nor a lender be.” Many of our nation’s Founding Fathers emphatically saw it otherwise. They often lived by the maxim: always…

Thanks Sonny! Xenophon's Cyropaedia was required reading for the Founding Fathers of America. Xenophon brings us Teachings of Freedom learned from Cyrus the Great himself, who rebelled from his Luciferian brother Artaxerxes. Xenophon's Cyropaedia the Education of Cyrus is the Antithesis of Machiavelli's "The Prince", which describes a philosophy of government based on Deceit and Fear. Machiavelli's once said: "It is best to be both feared and loved, however, if one cannot be both it is better to be feared than loved." Where Cyrus would rather be loved then feared, as his first acts as ruler were acts of freedom. ... In this context the Xenophon's Cyropaedia can be read as an essay on leadership or constitutional theory that was exercised in the creation on our great nation. This idea called America was based on the Education - Philosophy of Cyrus the Great. Who above all, gave the people he conquered freedom, and rebelled against the socialistic view of governmental structure taught by the ancient mystery ...

The Constitution is a wonder document and are Founding Fathers were great men of vision and true Patriots. But the sad part is something known as REX84,, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was a secretive "scenario and drill" developed by the United States Federal Government to suspend the United States Constitution, declare martial law, place military commanders in charge of state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens who are deemed to be "national security threats", in the event that the President declares a "State of National Emergency". It is very sad that this could happen. The time is coming and we all need to be prepared when it happens to stand up for our rights. If and when REX84 is put into place I for one, as a Veteran, will stand by The Oath I took "To protect the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic"!

A Nation in perpetual war. A Nation in a perpetual out of Control debt. A Nation in a perpetual Terror Alerts. A Nation with an ever increasing police state. equipping itself with a all encompassing surveillance state. A Nation with a confiscatory tax system that steals from one to reward another. A Nation writing laws that are not read before passing them; and comprise of 1000's of pages. Is this the Government that our Founding Fathers wanted; or is it the type of Government they fought to gain the independence from? Jefferson envisioned a Nation in commerce with all; and internal interference with none. A Government with a very limited Federal Government. I Think he was right, what do you have to say.
