Topic: Excuse me, it is OUR Constitution!

[Shelgeyr]

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that most of the people on this forum are as sick as I am about how Congress and Obama have been shredding the Constitution (although the biggest offenders are the Democrats, the blame goes to both sides - the Republicans have committed plenty of violations as well).

I can hardly believe we're debating things like doctors being required by Obamacare to ask irrelevant questions about your sex life, to the NSA utterly destroying the 4th Amendment. 

Allow me to quote from an article I'm going to link below:

First Off, Let’s Get This Straight: It is OUR Constitution!

The Constitution of the United States is OUR Supreme Law of OUR land – the foundation upon which all of OUR government is built. It defines the duties of all those temporary positions WE hired you for. It is the basis of all the laws WE have agreed to impose UPON OURSELVES, and by which WE have promised to abide.

OUR Constitution defines the procedures by which OUR government is formed and sustained, and the powers OUR government may wield over us through "temporary sequential governors". As such, OUR Constitution is primarily a document of limitations which WE have imposed upon OUR Federal Government which otherwise, in perfect harmony with history and human nature, would certainly stampede towards tyranny unencumbered and unrestrained.

[skipping a bit]

In other words, if you do not abide by the terms of the contract by which WE voluntarily lend you legal and lethal authority, then, you are nothing but violent thieves, fit to be hung from trees.

I read in the comments below the article that the writer should have said "hanged" instead of "hung", but I prefer it as is.  For reasons I'm not sure I understand, "hung" just sounds better to me, so I'm not asking them to fix it.

I recommend you read the whole thing, but be forewarned: it isn't short.

Well, your assumption is correct, although, as "assumption" has a bad odor (ass = u + me), I prefer presumption, and the opinion/sentiment is correct.

Our authority and liberty has been usurped; the Feds, and government at all levels, have escaped their bounds.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and presume that most of the people on this forum..."

Yeah, you're right, I have to admit it.  That works even better.

Thanks!

My pleasure.  Nice to have you here.

Welcome to the forum. You will find many like minds here. I can appreciate the fact that you already have what I call "terminal understanding" of our situation, i.e. that being hung from trees is about the only course of action the cause of liberty has left.

It's also the only course the left understands.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
