The Constitution Is A Must Know For All Americans

It’s times like these, where government is getting bigger and bigger and liberty is getting smaller and smaller, that the Constitution becomes the only way out for all of us even those who despise and detest it. Only those without honor and integrity would pervert the very document that secures their unalienable rights, along with the rest of us, into a document that eradicates them one by one. These men and women will not always be in power and therefore will also be subject to an uncontrolled state. These policies will subject all future generations to these same mechanisms where the individual is nothing and the state is all.  Not much foresight in that is there unless your goal is to suppress individuality.

The idea that we the people cannot be experts on the Constitution is totally, absolutely, one hundred per-cent FALSE! It was written for us so that we can keep our government and especially our politicians in line. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and politicians like Mr. Obama are not “Above the Law”. The prime purpose of the Constitution is the securing of our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the Decalaration of Independence for each and every American no matter their race, no matter their creed, no matter their status in life. Anyone who would try to take away any of these rights from any American is unqualified to hold any position in our government whether politician or bureaucrat and should be immediately dismissed or impeached. No exceptions allowed.

Unfortunately Mr. Obama, most of the Democrat party, at least half of the Republican party and all of the mainstream media are working hard to split Americans into groups and then pit these groups one against the other. Young vs. old, rich vs. poor, black vs. white and on and on. You name the groups and they will pit them against each other. Instead of inspiring us to greater success, honor and integrity these men and women find the lowest common denominator in our fellow Americans and push that on every one of us.

What kind of men and women do this? Those who say they are for all Americans but in reality the laws they want to pass and the policies they want to put in place will serve only to make us lazy, keep us down and confiscate our property. It is not charity to take property, that someone or some group has earned,  and give it to another with no exchange taking place. That is legal theft and a horrible example to set for young and old alike. But then why would you care about young people learning about something as important as exchange when your primary goal is to strip free will from every American except for those who agree with you. Charity is giving something you have earned of your own free will. It is not a required contribution as the unconsitutional healthcare law states. Isn’t a contribution given freely?

Pick up the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Study them so you get an understanding of them. These are the documents that will secure every Americans life, liberty and property!

Freedom & Liberty In The Constitution

I’ve read Article 1 section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. Get online yourself or take your copy out and read it too. It’s pretty amazing. This is the section on the powers of congress and nowhere does it state that the federal government can dictate to an idividual American how they should take care of their bodies. This is even more amazing since President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are stating that they do have this power. Maybe they are just trying to grab more power from the individual. Their actions seem to more than suggest this.

In spite of  overwhelming opposition by ordinary Americans, the president and congress appear to only listen to the unions and groups like Organizing for America, which are special interests. I thought special interests were long gone from Washington. I guess not.

But let’s get back to the constitution. Article 1, section 8 has only one spot where you might be able to make a very small case for the healthcare bill. In the first paragraph of section 8 congress has the power to provide for the general welfare of the United States. How could someone decide from this statement that the government then has the power to tell you, the individual, how you should take care of your physical being.? Well, let’s see.

Here’s the definiton of general in Webster’s New World dictionary: 1. of, for or from all, not local, special or specialized 2. of or for a whole kind etc.  3. widespread(general unrest) 4. most common, usual 5. not specific or precise 6. highest in rank(attorney general).

The healthcare bill sure wouldn’t fit in any of these definitions. The bill itself is way too specific to be included under congress’s powers. And the exact words are, “of the United States”, not of the individual.

Ah, but what if the bill just allowed small businesses across the country to band together to get health insurance as a large group. This would give each small business a much better rate and it wouldn’t violate Article 1, section 8 of the constitution. Why? Because it’s general and non- specific. Yes, but you say that welfare is also in that paragraph. What about that?

The definition of welfare is: 1 a condition of health, happiness, prosperity etc.; well-being 2 organized efforts of goverment agencies granting aid to the poor, the unemployed etc. 

Okay, we know that definition 2 was not around when the constitution was written so we’ll scratch that. That leaves definition 1. So, we have health, happiness, prosperity for all of us but in a general non-specific way. This still doesn’t allow for the massive healthcare bill. So, how could someone come up with this bill under Article 1? The only way to do this  would be  by changing the definition of one or both of these words or by purposely mis-understanding or just not understanding one or both of these words.

Read this section for yourself and make your own decision. But, please read it and get involved. Our freedom & liberty depends on it.
