We the People Under Attack

Here are two great - although sobering - messages:

We the People - Under Attack, Part 1
We the People - Under Attack, Part 2

Part 1 begins by talking about the unconstitutional attack on Christians in public schools. You have to ask yourselves if a Christian can in all good conscience send their children to a school that allows their kids to read anything they want - except the Bible!

Kennedy: Under What Authority - Welcome to Post-Constitutional America! - dailycaller.com

Excerpt from this article:

"If you are a Republican congressman, what is your remedy? You can impeach him, but of course they know that if they bring articles of impeachment against the president, they will fail in the U.S. Senate… If the president wants to do what ever he wants to do what is the constitutional remedy? It’s only impeachment, but a Congress that won’t challenge him on so many things is unlikely to impeach him.” Because of this, Kennedy said, the framework for government established by the Constitution is no longer relevant."

Federal Government Now Requiring Churches to Get Permits for Baptisms

Federal government now requiring churches to get permits for Baptisms - BizPac Review:

"As if it wasn’t involved in people’s private lives enough, the federal government wants to regulate baptisms, requiring a special-use permit for ceremonies in public waters.The policy was recently enforced by the National Park Service, which — spontaneity be damned — requires a 48-hour advance notice of baptisms, according to Todd Starnes at Fox News."

Mark Levin: A Modern-Day Constitutional Prophet

Mark Levin: A modern-day constitutional prophet:

The Habeas Corpus Myth

The Habeas Corpus Myth - Anthony Gregory - Mises Daily:

"We know many things about habeas corpus. We know that it goes back to the Magna Carta and that the U.S. Constitution affirmed this bulwark of Anglo-American liberty. We know that habeas prohibits jailing people without cause, and that it remained healthy throughout U.S. history, except during wartime, until George W. Bush’s 2006 Military Commissions Act. And we also know that in 2008, the Supreme Court guaranteed basic due process rights for Guantánamo’s inmates. The trouble is that none of these things are true. "

Obama Suggests Only Lawyers Understand the Constitution | CNS News:

"President Obama suggested in an interview with the New York Times that was published on Saturday that you need to be a lawyer to understand the U.S. Constitution."

But you don't need to be a lawyer to be a fan of constitutional scholar (and lawyer!) Mark Levin:  Check him out at:

Marklevinshow.com

Here are some recent quotes from Mr. Levin:

"Mark Levin blasted Barack Obama's use of Executive Orders to further his agenda, saying the President believes he is no longer bound by the constitution since he won reelection. 'He keeps telling us he won reelection. Congratulations.' Levin said. 'But guess what? The Constitution wasn't up for election. He has to comply with it too!'" (Mark Levin Tears into Obama's Imperial Presidency)

"I can barely contain my fury at what is going on in this country...We have evidence over one decade after another of how the very same people pushing for gun control against law-abiding American citizens support radical left-wing judges who are soft on criminals, support weakened sentencing rules, decriminalizing this and that. Since when was Obama strong on fighting crime? Since when has Obama supported law enforcement? But here he is, you know, 'we have to stop gun violence.' No, we have to stop violent criminals." (I can Barely Contain my Fury at What's Going On)

"You should view these politicians with the deepest contempt you can possibly imagine. What they are doing to this country, what they are doing to our finances - there is not a criminal in any federal prison, state prison, city or county jail, with respect to financial crimes of any sort who collectively could have done the kind of damage that Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and YES, willing, timid, gutless Republicans have done to this country, to your future, to your children and grandchildren! What they are doing is with malice and forethought." (Mark Levin Blasts Both Democrats and Gutless Republicans for the Destruction of this Country)

‘Allegiance to the United States Constitution Is Not An Option’

‘Allegiance to the United States Constitution is not an option’:

"The Conservative Hispanics of America say they are proud Americans who put loyalty to the U.S. first, not in second place behind allegiance to a culture or ancestral home. 'Conservative Hispanics of America have rallied together to remind all politicians that ignoring the ‘Oath of Affirmation’ will bear serious consequences,' said Al Garza, who along with Andy Ramirez, is a founder. Allegiance to the United States Constitution is not an option, it is their sworn obligation,' he said. "

I am opposed to the Immigration Bill being shoved through Congress right now. I am not opposed to Mexicans (legal or illegal). I have worked many years on dairy farms - and many of the men and women I worked with were Mexicans - and not all of them were in the country legally.

Most of the Mexicans I worked with were decent hard working people - many sent large portions of their paychecks to their families down in Mexico. In many ways, these "Illegal Aliens" were more American than the politicians currently pushing the Immigration bill through congress.

I would like to see an America that was filled with these kind of people (as opposed to the rich liberals like Barack Obama and George W. Bush) who have their own Special Interest Groups (and America not being one of them!)

"We Don't Need No Stinkin 4th Amendment!"

4th Amendment? We Don't Need No Stinking 4th Amendment - Infowars

Excerpt:

"Police may solemnly swear to support the Constitution of the United States, but this is increasingly a meaningless formality for many of them. For instance, a couple cops in Dallas County, Texas, arrived at Jon Locke’s home to serve an arrest warrant on his brother, who wasn’t there. Mr. Locke wasn’t home either, but instead of coming back at a later time when somebody was home and asking about the brother, the police took it upon themselves to violate the Fourth Amendment and rifle through the homeowner’s possessions. They went so far as to enter his home without a search warrant."

Excerpt:

“A government big-enough to give you everything you want, is big-enough to take everything that you have.” —President Gerald Ford, Address to Joint Session of Congress, 12 August 1974

Enemies of the State: 45 Goals of the Communist Party, USA, in 1963

In his article Enemies of the Constitution, Alan Caruba talks about Constitutional scholar Louis Michael Seidman. Here is an excerpt from this article:

"Perhaps the stupidest idea given an airing in a recent edition of The New York Times is Prof. Louis Michael Seidman’s opinion, 'Let’s Give Up on the Constitution.' According to his commentary, Prof. Seidman has “taught constitutional law for almost 40 years” and he was 'ashamed' it took him that long to conclude that it was an outdated, “bizarre” document."

The main purpose of the constitution is to protect the citizens - from their government! That is why Obama's crusade to do away with the second amendment is so serious. It is much easier to take over a country when the citizens are unarmed (see What Happens When a Government Disarms its Citizens?)

Yesterday I did a post where I provide some links to W. Cleon Skousen's YouTube Videos The Naked Capitalist (See Debbie Schlussel Takes on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, While Joseph Farah Takes on Fox News). I was surprised today to find an article that talked about The Naked Capitalist (the book that the videos were based upon). The article is titled America, You Were Warned 40 Years Ago!, by Dr. Steven Lambert.

Dr. Lambert just mentioned The Naked Capitalist, because that author had republished a document that was made public in 1963 by the Communist Party, USA titled: Goals of the Communist Party. Dr. Lambert claims, and I agree with him, that many - if not most - of these goals have already been accomplished. When conservatives accuse President Obama of being a Marxist, we are comparing his vision for America with these 45 stated goals of the Communist Party in 1963.

The Naked Capitalist was published in 1970. In 1971 another important book was written: None Dare Call it Conspiracy.  The author of this book was Gary Allen. Here is what Mr. Allen has to say about Communism:

"The first principle in any encounter, whether it be football or war (hot or cold), is: Know your enemy. The American people do not know their enemy. Consequently, it is not strange at all that for three decades we have been watching one country of the world after another fall behind the Communist curtain.
In keeping with the fact that almost everybody seems to have his own definition of Communism, we are going to give you ours, and then we will attempt to prove to you that it is the only valid one. Communism: AN INTERNATIONAL, CONSPIRATORIAL DRIVE FOR POWER ON THE PART OF MEN IN HIGH PLACES WILLING TO USE ANY MEANS TO BRING ABOUT THEIR DESIRED AIM-GLOBAL CONQUEST.
You will notice that we did not mention Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, bourgeois, proletariat or dialectical materialism. We said nothing of the pseudo-economics or political philosophy of the Communists. These are the TECHNIQUES of Communism and should not be confused with the Communist conspiracy itself. We did call it an international conspiratorial drive for power. Unless we understand the conspiratorial nature of Communism, we don't understand it at all. We will be eternally fixated at the Gus Hall level of Communism. And that's not where it's at, baby!"

Obama Flirting With Impeachment

Obama Flirting With Impeachment:

"The power of the Presidential Executive Order is simply not robust enough to amend the constitution. Look.  The 2nd Amendment is was it is… period.  You want to change it?  The process is simple, but very difficult.  It was meant to be both. You need the affirmative vote of 2/3rds of BOTH houses of Congress—and then—it goes to the people of the states where 3/4’s of the states must vote for it (in the affirmative) in order to ratify it. Please note that at no time is the office of the President involved. The man who would be “King of America” may not be pleased about this, but, hey, things are tough all over!"
