RELIGION or POLITICS ? The Presidency and the Constitution, cont'd

Constitutional Government. Cont'd.


Hi y'all, boy this country is certainly going through convulsions these days, huh? And the fingers pointing at most anybody whether it has facts behind the pointing or not. What this country has come to, uh uh! What has happened to good old values and principles??? Anyway, let's continue with getting back to a Constitutional Government. (Content taken from newsletter IMPRIMUS published by Hillsdale College),

Oh, go to my archives if you want to see what I've published previously and well worth your time, if you have any sense of love for America.  Now to go on:  The last one ended with "Politicians are not angels or perfect, therefore government must have powers, but these powers must be limited and checked.

     If this is where we are, then it is easy to see"what to do, and how to do it"   We must return to the priniciples and institutions of the founding of our country.   We must revive constitutional rule.  to do so, we propose the following four pillars of constitutional government.

1.  Potecting the equal and inalienable rights of individuals is government's primary responsibility

      a.   By rights, America's founders meant those things naturally belonging to us, and those things earned by our own labor.    The protection ot rights understood in this way breeds harmony in the society, because each of us claims for himself what he can also give to all others.   We may speak, worship, asemble, and keep our justly earned property without taking from another.

        b.   Each branch of government is subservient to the Consttution.

        c.    The federal government has the constitutional duty to ensure that each state maintains a republican form of government.    This obligation is strengthened and clarified in the 14th Amendment.   It must ensure that no state infringes on the rights or the "privileges or immunities" of citizens.   Yet it must also recognize the constitutional standing of state governmtents.

        d.    The duties of Congress are clearly dilineated in Article I, Section 8 of the constitution.   It should do no more, lest liberty be endangered. It should do no less, else anarchy ensue.  


Have a great weekend my friends, and by all means, when you can get a chance, listen to Glenn Beck. He is incredible in my book, and could well be a saviour and greatly influence this country in getting itself turned around from it's present direction to the dumps.  Listen, take action and stand up for a Constitutional government, and also keep in mind China is about take over the title of World Power. Pay attention.       Cheers      CJ
