John Riley on Constitution –

 

It seems to be a growing wave, sometime/somewhere it will break.

The sooner the better, in my view.  Put them on notice (which we have been doing) and then follow through. 

 

Our lives (at least the lives of our children and grandchildren) are at stake.  Each of us must decide if and how much of our precious Constitution can we and our future generations do without.  Which ones of the Bill of Rights are we willing to give up and at what price?  Will we be in any stronger position AFTER we allow our Constitution to be voided?  Will we allow the ever increasing involuntary taking of our property and rights against our best interests and our will?

 

Already, our Constitution is in shambles!  Already our politically "elected" representatives shirk their fiduciary DUTIES and ignore their "OATHS of OFFICE".  And, we allow the "COURTS" and unelected bureaucrats to create law!  And, that's not to mention the "executive orders" that circumvent the representative government process! 

 

We allow the IRS to run roughshod over the hard working people and completely ignore the "due process" rights of our citizens, stripping them of their property and of their dignity while many times unjustly placing them in jail and destroying their families, homes and businesses in the process.

 

Our First Amendment "free press" rights have been stripped away and now unrestricted free press rights are instead given ONLY to "media" corporations (AS IF THAT IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL "FREE PRESS") while our free press rights are regulated and in some cases completely banned!  Even foreign owned newspapers are given greater "free press" freedom to affect the US political process than average US citizens. 

 

ARE WE BLIND? DEAF, DUMB and IGNORANT? TOO PROUD TO GIVE UP OUR COMFORTABLE "SPECTATOR" SEATS (regardless if that seat is on the bench next to the coach or on the back row balcony)? 

 

When the real contest is fought, it will be the side with the strength, determination, bravery, wisdom and above all with the GRACE of GOD that will prevail.  God help us if we grow weak and undetermined! 

 

We all must begin to realize that it is WE that are responsible for retaining OUR property and OUR rights.  However, we must ALL recognize and realize that when just one of our citizens unjustly loses THEIR property or Constitutional Rights to the whims of "government" the question becomes, Will we willingly give up that same property or Constitutional Right?

 

For the Love of Country, WHAT DOES IT TAKE?  Billboards around town declaring the US Constitution VOID?  Daily infomercials and prime time specials telling us it's over?  GEESE! COME ON! ARE WE THAT BRAIN DEAD?  Let's just be HONEST, BRAVE and DETERMINED to "call a spade a spade" and grow backbones"!  Who are we kidding when we pretend the truth is not reality?  Who are we fooling when we allow wrong to be right and government to take control of our lives, rather than for US to control government as was intended!

 

Cheers!
