But you must put political parties aside. You believe the majority of all loyal Americans would claim they &#8220;love&#8221; <em>The Constitution.<\/em> Love&#8217;s a nice word. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s more than a touch ambiguous &#8212; the feel-good thing you would expect people to say to demonstrate their goodness. Unfortunately, the claim is only that. Because most Americans don&#8217;t genuinely <em>know<\/em> <em>The Constitution.<\/em> Don&#8217;t really know what it says. What it requires. What commandments it lays down. And most don&#8217;t truly believe it is a hallowed covenant. Nope. Love <em>The Constitution<\/em>? It&#8217;s all talk. It began with renowned chief justice John Marshall who did a lot of talking in 1801. Marshall was a superstar patriot but didn&#8217;t want the constitutional balance of powers<em>, as it was written.<\/em> The man was a Federalist, who in his self-appointed wisdom, decided that the Founders lacked proper vision to invest greater power in the Federal Government. Two hundred <em>twenty<\/em> two years later, the American people think their beloved country operates according to the four(4) pages of <em>The Constitution<\/em> displayed at the National Archives Museum, located at 701 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. Nay, nay, pilgrim. That <em>Constitution<\/em> has been replaced by something called the <em>Constitution Annotated<\/em> &#8212; a 3000-page, 9.37-pound beast of a book &#8212; which is a <em>legal analysis<\/em> and <em>interpretation<\/em> of the original <em>Constitution<\/em>, based on a comprehensive review of the U. S. Supreme Court. In simple terms, Marshall and every\u00a0 SCOTUS since has greatly expanded legislative and executive powers in direct violation of <em>The Constitution, as it was originally ordained. <\/em>The irony screams. You don&#8217;t need to recount the history. Who cares? The GOP? The DEMS? The RNC? Wake up, Matilda. That crowd &#8212; federal, state, county, city\u00a0 &#8212; couldn&#8217;t care less about &#8220;limited government.&#8221; Recall this single fact &#8212; the 13 original States had one overarching fear above all others. They feared creating a Federal Government that would usurp the very power of the creation &#8212; power that could only lead to tyranny. Thousands died to rid themselves of King George&#8217;s rule only to hand it over to enemies within. That&#8217;s pretty incendiary language, dude. You&#8217;re talking about good people in Washington, in State Houses, in City Halls &#8212; even your friends and neighbors &#8212; all fighting the good fight &#8212; who deserve better treatment. Exactly. You have the arrogance and audacity to pass judgment on good people. Yes &#8212; elected officials and ordinary folks like yourself, who never admit they&#8217;re OK with the Fed running the whole show.\u00a0 OK with governing doctors, OK with telling teachers what to teach, OK with regulating business, OK with controlling media, OK with hijacking America&#8217;s energy production. What else? How about everything else? Such as &#8212; OK with shutting down small business, OK with forcing vaccination, OK with banning life-saving drugs, OK with $30 trillion indebtedness, OK with sending billions to America&#8217;s enemies, OK with suppressing free speech &#8212; OK with flat killing people. You&#8217;re not alone in this judgment. Everywhere you turn &#8212; the brightest minds blow the bugles of discontent over Federal tyranny and those individuals who have committed crimes. But the evidence be damned &#8212; not one official walks the plank &#8212; not one &#8212; especially not the Big Guy. Meanwhile, the GOP holds hearings to embarrass feckless bureaucrats who arrogantly go on their merry bureaucratic ways &#8212; totally untouchable. Case in point &#8212; one Alejandro Mayorkas who rules over the DHS as the administrator of America&#8217;s fentanyl and illegal immigration traffic. You get the point all right &#8212; nothing gets done as long as the system is run by gangsters, including members of the GOP who\u00a0 recite the oath of office and avow how much they love <em>The Constitution<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>www.conventionofstates.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A stalwart Republican citizen\/activist wrote a good piece suggesting that the GOP is made up of people from all walks of life who share one thing: love for the U.S. Constitution.
