Second, Obama asserted that the biggest problem with the Constitution is that its Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments, place limits on government power. He then went further to suggest a horrific concept that should serve as a clear warning signal to anyone who values freedom--he would prefer that the Constitution affirm the rights of GOVERNMENT. This is the smoking gun, the big enchilada, the proof positive that Obama and like-minded Leftists, Socialists, Marxists, Fascists, whatever you wish to call them, do not value at all the concept that citizens should be protected from government power but actually advocate...

Long before Barack Obama announced his candidacy for President in 2007, many astute citizens, including this writer, sounded the alarm concerning the ultimate goals of the man who couched his extremist agenda for America in terms of 'positive hope and change.' At each step along the way since Obama ascended to his 'throne,' the sturdy edifice of this free society has been systematically taken apart brick by brick. The first brick that was removed was the free market, which was blamed for something for which it had no culpability whatsoever--the housing and mortgage meltdown caused by Fannie Mae and Freddie...

Patriots Day of Prayer Saturday July 10, 2010 Most of us who are familiar with the founding fathers and the creation of this country know that prayer was a common occurrence. It is odd that we wait for a crises to invoke prayer to the almighty for assistance. Below is Ben Franklin's call to prayer when it was obvious that they were at a stalemate in trying to form the Constitution of the United States: “I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth--that God governs in the...

While everyone is concerned about the big oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, something much more ominous just happened: the United States ceased to be a representative republic. It happened on Thursday when the Senate voted to abdicate its central powers to the executive branch. Not that it was billed in such momentous terms. In the news, it was reported merely as the failure of the Murkowski Resolution. What did the Murkowski Resolution say? It said that "Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the endangerment finding and the cause or contribute findings for...

Will The Great American Experiment Succeed? Thomas Jefferson, in his First Inaugural Address, enumerated what he called 'the essential principles of our government, which ought to shape its Administration.' He then stated: "These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civil instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we...

Should America cling to the principles of a constitutional republic or break free and embrace European style social democracy? President Obama, to his credit, has been fairly open about his own postmodern beliefs and leanings toward social democracy. His policy initiatives and increasingly his stump speeches are lowering the thin veil he used while campaigning to sell himself as a supporter of American Constitutional style governance. Many want to blur the debate and make it about Republicans versus Democrats or human rights or Wall Street “fat cats.” Social democracy is not the best way forward and its proponents know this...

"Intelligent choice--between 1776 Americanism and conflicting Isms (chiefly Socialism in the USA today)--requires primarily thorough knowledge of these Principles. Not to know them is to cheat oneself of the basic freedom: freedom of choice, between alternatives. Making this grave choice daily is inescapable for every adult citizen (by acts of omission or commission, or by opinion-forming), confronted by problems of self-governing, performing duties of Liberty-Responsibility, to which The Twelve Principles are always pertinent... The Founders’ writings are the basis of the book’s Twelve Principles--like them, never changing.... The book will therefore never need change, will be as valid and useful...

"It is important to keep in mind the difference between a Democracy and a Republic, as dissimilar forms of government. Understanding the difference is essential to comprehension of the fundamentals involved..." "These two forms of government: Democracy and Republic, are not only dissimilar but antithetical, reflecting the sharp contrast between (a) The Majority Unlimited, in a Democracy, lacking any legal safeguard of the rights of The Individual and The Minority, and (b) The Majority Limited, in a Republic under a written Constitution safeguarding the rights of The Individual and The Minority; as we shall now see."

In order for our Great Tree of Liberty to continue to flourish while powerful winds of change threaten to tear down our sacred Republic, let us reach back in time to deploy the most powerful weapon we as the American people know. Let it be resolved that the humble citizen's known as the Tea Party USA solemnly swear to return our freedom's and inalienable right's through strictly non-violent and peaceful protests. Almighty God, give us the strength to preserve this new breath of freedom not for just the American people, but for all of mankind.
