OUR RIGHTS ARE GRADUALLY ERODING. I THINK THEY ARE GRADUALLY SLIPPING AWAY FROM US. I THINK THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONSTITUTION AS A DOCUMENT THAT RESTRAINS YOUR GOVERNMENT, THAT RESTRAINTS YOUR SIZE AND SCOPE OF YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN LOST ON A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULDN'T GIVE UP ON.
1) The hijacking of our Constitution by the Progressive Socialists.
2) Our $4,000,000,000,000 federal government, the RESULT of the gradual erosion of the Constitution.
The Constitution is the only legal document standing between the free American People and tyranny. We on the Right MUST find ways of restoring the Constitution, as in efforts like the Convention of states proposed by the Citizens for Self-Governance. This is a long-term campaign that the Right must wage with faith and patience.
Our federal government is BY FAR the greatest threat today to our Lives, Liberties, and Pursuits of Happiness. This is an immediate campaign that must be waged with urgency and resolve. The Right must focus on this as the #1 issue of the day and concentrate on what it will take to gut and cut 80% of this beast, which leaves us with a $800,000,000,000 mini beast. Not the greatest, but it's a start.
Lovers of freedom, whaddyathink?
Rights - ALL COMPROMISED ALREADY. All.
“Our Rights Are Gradually Eroding”
Eroded, washed downstream, buried, and turned into sedimentary rock.
Just waiting for someone to come by and find the fossilized remains of the nation inside.
OK, the first step is ID’g the problem. You’ve actually ID’d a symptom of the problem, probably THE symptom of the problem.
The first step in taking back our rights IMO is the Right unifying around THE PROBLEM and focusing on defeating it.
My what a brilliant statement. I would believe he’s finally reading at FR. If so, he should make a donation to this quarter’s Freepathon.
Thanks, but my point is that there are no current constitutional rights. They are gone.
I was only copying the original link which was all in caps. Didn’t mean to come off that way.
However, I must say, isn’t it about time the Right took some of the bullhorns away from the Left and started making some noise themselves?
What the hell are you talking about? Our rights GRADUALLY eroding??? This is about as gradual as flushing the toilet. The only reason we have any at all by this time of the Obama presidency is because we have the right (and inclination) to bear arms. In fact as many as we can afford to bear.
Man, too many have given up in this bloodless coup d’etats.
Where are the freedom fighters? Where are those who used to say boldly, “Better dead than Red” (that’s Communist Red)?
So what the hell are you going to do about other than piss and moan?
Everyone is too busy binge watching shows on their DVRs.
there are no current constitutional rights
And there NEVER WERE, My Rights Come from GOD, The Constitution forbids GOVERNMENT from Infringing on My RIGHTS. My Rights are ABSOLUTE and Cannot be taken away according to the Declaration o0f Independence.
I understand your point though, Government is becoming more tyrannical by the day, and the Rulers with Hammers are NOT DOING THEIR JOB.
“The first thing that needs to be done is Kill all the Lawyers.” Shakespeare.
OK, so do we all just give up?
I can’t believe so many have surrendered with a shot being fired.
I wish Rand Paul would act on his beliefs by endorsing Ted Cruz for president in 2016.
No the problems is CAPLOCKS. Now that we’ve ID’d that problem, the first thing we must do is turn ‘em off.
Secondly - we must ignore Rand Paul. He’s nuttier than squirrel poop (like his old man) and will be a detriment to real conservative choices in the upcoming presidential election (like his old man was).
Your rights may come from God, but your enjoyment of those rights depends on government... Sadly.
“OK, so do we all just give up? I can’t believe so many have surrendered with a shot being fired.”
These rights were taken away and I don’t think you fired on anyone.
ALL progress starts with telling the truth.
OK great, Paul is nuttier than a fruitcake. Who cares about the politicians anyway? Given the chance, they’ll take you for all you’ve got. They’re well on their way to doing just that.
Capslock and Rand Paul isn’t the subject here. It the statement posted. Is it right or wrong? If it’s wrong how is it wrong to someone who’s supposed to be a conservative on the Right?
