To some of my friends who are much opposed to the once creeping, now stampeding socialism that we are now facing, I have opined that it is fruitless to appeal to the Federal Government, in any of its forms to block or even slow our rushing descent into totalitarian oblivion.\u00a0 A good friend of mine in a high place is very upbeat about the prospect of the Supreme Court overturning the new health care bill that is now being challenged in court by some 20 states.\u00a0 I asked him what he would do on the morning after the Supreme Court upholds that monstrous law.\u00a0 I pointed out to him that on that day, we who care should be prepared to immediately call for a Constitutional Convention to staunch the bleeding wounds that have been inflicted on our Republic.\u00a0 Otherwise the only options that I see is for us to passively surrender to the dark forces of collective slavery or to resort to bloody revolution to save human freedom for us and posterity.<\/p>\n
For us to believe that the minions of the Federal Government will protect and preserve the Republic that they, each and every one, swore to uphold is to believe in a fairy tale.\u00a0 Those in Congress, each of them, if he or she is not on the “take”, sees himself (or herself) as President.\u00a0 Those in the Courts owe their positions … and don’t disregard their pay … to the other two branches.\u00a0 It is patently naive, probably ludicrous, to think that any of the people in that august brotherhood would redress the wrongs that they have already inflicted upon the States … or upon the People.<\/p>\n
Today we see that a federal judge, an appointee of this patently corrupt system, has contravened the will of 70% of the American population and ruled against Arizona’s attempt to stem the lawlessness within its borders.\u00a0 This be-cloaked lady of the judiciary upholds anarchy in preference to a State protecting itself for that specter which the Federal Government, obligated as it is, refuses to confront.\u00a0 The legal pundits of the media aver that the Supreme Court will hear the case, maybe, after the disgraceful 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, another minion of the Federal Government, hands down its preordained decision against the people of the Southwest.\u00a0 Those in the know are sure that the Court will hear the case “in a few years.”\u00a0 And that outcome is also in doubt.<\/p>\n
The only thing that those leftist activists in today’s government who are trying to form their “dictatorship of the proletariat”, their utopia, have overlooked is that the States are supreme in our Republic and the Federal Government is their servant.\u00a0 There is still a chance to save the day if those in the Legislatures of the States will rise up and put an end to this madness.<\/p>\n
I wrote about this in my series: “Solving It!” in January … I append the conclusion of that essay here again, as I believe that you and I … We … should start to seriously contemplate the actions of its conclusions.<\/p>\n
Once again —–<\/p>\n
… However, if we look at who has the real power in the United States it is still the States.\u00a0 When the Congress or its members get to the point that they disregard, subvert, bribe, cajole, dictate to or otherwise ignore their relationship under the Constitution to the States, it is time for the father to discipline the child.<\/p>\n
The Constitution needs to be amended to redress the transgressions of the Congress, the Courts and the bureaucracy.\u00a0 It is the only non-violent way to cure the excesses that we see.\u00a0 The States have never amended by convention, except upon the original ratification.\u00a0 But the Constitution can be amended, by first by convening a Convention called by two thirds of the States for proposing Amendments and second, adopted upon ratification by three fourths of the States.\u00a0 Could this be done?\u00a0 An analysis of the \u201cred\u201d versus the \u201cblue\u201d States strongly suggests that the Convention could be called.\u00a0 An analysis of the \u201cred\u201d versus the \u201cblue\u201d counties<\/strong> in the several States suggests that true reforms could be ratified by ratification Conventions in the States.\u00a0 And finally, true to the republican principles without which there would have never, could have never been a United States of America, each State votes equally in a ratification.\u00a0 Wyoming could cancel Connecticut;\u00a0Idaho, California.\u00a0 It is patently obvious that many members of Congress, and the Left Wing Intelligencia, would resist this idea by all means possible, for they know that it is they that need to be reined in.\u00a0 Consideration for popular support should be realized from the American public, which is exceedingly angry with politicians in general and the Congress in particular.\u00a0 It is time for grass roots leadership to retake the reins of our destiny.\u00a0 It is time for the Governors and Legislators to reassert their rightful role in American government.\u00a0 They need to call for and then formulate the Amendments necessary to preserve the Republic.<\/p>\n What specifically should be done?\u00a0 Let me suggest \u2013<\/p>\n None of us, who care for the freedom of the individual or of economic life, wants in any way to do away with the Constitution, only to strengthen and closely define its original intents.\u00a0 There is a small cadre of Leftists, Internationalists, who believe that the freedom of the individual should be eliminated so that their nebulous Millennia of love can be ushered in.\u00a0 If their empathy for love, safety, sharing, caring and such, is so compelling, why must it be forced upon those of us who believe in the inviolability of the individual and the free market, whether we agree or not?\u00a0 Leftists, who believe that way, also believe that those who consider the Constitution the guardian of freedom must be eliminated politically, because they are such an impediment to their goals.\u00a0 The intellectual Leftists are few, but their un-intellectual following, those who are interested in \u201cbacon\u201d coerced from \u201cthem\u201d are many.\u00a0 The Left has been so incrementally successful in subtly destroying the Republic that we must take action now.<\/p>\n We could take a lesson from the Left \u2026 we could consider one, several or all the suggestions above.\u00a0 We got into this predicament by their maxim \u2026 \u201cIf you can’t have a full loaf, insist on one anyway and if that is impossible, then settle for a few slices that you didn’t have before.\u201d\u00a0 But the time for Fabianism is well past.\u00a0 If a Convention is convened, all the suggestions need to be considered, because further action may not be possible or delay may be fatal to the cause.<\/p>\n The States, the true manifestation of popular democracy and exemplars of republicanism, through their democratically elected governors and their democratically elected representatives must act immediately.\u00a0 The roll of the Federal government must be put into perspective and action must be taken to relegate it into its proper place in our Republic.\u00a0 The consequences of failure to act could very well mean the end of the Republic and with it, the end of human freedom \u2026 maybe forever!<\/p>\n Can the Republic be saved?\u00a0 It is up to us \u2026 it is up to you \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To some of my friends who are much opposed to the once creeping, now stampeding socialism that we are now facing, I have opined that it is fruitless to appeal to the Federal Government, in any of its forms to … Continue reading \n
