The Constitution works because it is founded on the beauty of the solid moral and spiritual rock of the Declaration of Independence.
By Jerry Todd 12/18/2011
On September 17, 2010 President Barack Obama spoke to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute 33rd Annual Award Gala. During his speech - reading from a teleprompter - he quoted from the Declaration of Independence. Here is what he said: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain unalienable rights, life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Perhaps his teleprompter muddles the defining phrase “endowed by our Creator!”
The Declaration of Independence defines the Constitution philosophically and spiritually, therefore in Beauty and its Author. “Progressives" have argued for years, quite successfully, that the Constitution is a living, breathing document, standing alone from its origins in the Declaration of Independence. It is subject to change as the mores’ of the times change. The Declaration, they say, was a motivational statement designed to gather support for the “real” document – The Constitution. "Hey man! Get with it. It's the 21st century... blah, blah!"
The Declaration has several key elements that set the moral and philosophical basis for the Constitution. If one were to seek the “sought after ideal” for a form of government, it would be structured according to American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce, in the order of Beauty, Ethics and Logic. A document like the Constitution is a Cartesian nightmare without a moral basis that acquires its authority and blessings free of the duplicity of faulty humanity.
The Declaration is primarily a Document of Beauty because it recognizes Natural Law; self-evident truths; the endowment by our Creator of our universal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This includes the opportunity to associate with...

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.
The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
According to this standard the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible, he was born in Cambridge MA, as well as every anchor baby with no loyalty to the USA.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), George P Bush (one citizen parent) and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.
There would have been a disconnect from the Declaration of Independence if the country had stayed with the Article of Confederation. That document begins, “Articles of Confederation and perpetual union between the states...”, and then lists them. When the Constitution begins, “We the people” it places the individual ahead and above any local, state, or federal government.
The Declaration is the authority under which the Constitution obtains it's own legitimacy.
"The laws of nature, and of Nature's God"... are the source of our own sovereignty. The Constitution is but a lesser manifestation of the powers granted by independence, which is a right given by God.
I always appreciate you keeping these truths alive.
The principles we were founded on are in the Declaration. The mechanism for enacting and defending those principles is the Constitution. You can’t be a constitutionalist without being aDeclarationist and vice versa.d
