Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant

Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping slipping giant

(fixed)

Thankfully, as we choose as our Executive Branch leader in this Election of 2016, "We, the People" must now take the next step in reclaiming our government; and, that step is to reassert our role as "the only KEEPERS of the Constitution," according to Justice Joseph Story, in his Commentaries on the Constitution. . . ."
No mere human leader can "make America great again." Only the principles and ideas of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution can accomplish that lofty and worthy goal as they are honored and respected as the limits and bound of any exertions of power by elected or appointed leaders.

On the other hand, a flawed candidate who might become the President of the United States, if he/she devotes his/her term to devotion to the Constitution, as it was framed and left for America's protection, might help "We, the People" to rediscover our nation's greatness and potential.

By their Oaths of Office, government officials are bound to uphold that Oath--if we hold them to it.

The oath of office required for representatives of "the People" was intended to be sacred and binding, because that oath is a vow before the "Sovereign" of the Universe, and its violation carries penalities both human and Divine. President George Washington described it in this manner:

"Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths?"

For an amazing history lesson and sermon by the Rev. Benjamin W. Arnett, readers might want to visit the Library of Congress and read the entire text of his Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, paying special note to the excerpts below which discuss and describe the nature of the oath:

CENTENNIAL THANKSGIVING SERMON

Excerpt from P. 31, in which he is discussing the Declaration of Independence:

"We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare: That these United Colonies are and of right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, and in a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." - JOHN HANCOCK.

Arnett continues:

"And the names of the whole Congress followed. You see that there is Divinity in this immortal document. Can we find in the "Articles of Confederation" anything to support the position that the founders of this government intended that it should be a nation for God, and that his religion should have a place in this land. It says: "Whereas it hath pleased the Great Governor of the World to incline the hearts of the legislatures we respectively represent in Congress, to approve of and to authorize us to ratify the said Articles of Confederation and perpetual union." Thus we find this assembly thanking the Governor of the world for inclining the hearts of men. Who can move the hearts of men but God? But we find them in reverence bowing to the Governor of men.

"We now call your attention to the Constitution of the Nation and let us examine that instrument in the light of the men who formed it, and we will see that this was intended to be a Nation founded in Righteousness and Justice. What does the instrument say on this subject:

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"Article VI says: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall be required as a Qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

On Page 37, Rev. Arnett described the nature of "oaths and affirmations" as follows:

"Oaths and affirmations are appeals to God, by him who makes them, that what he has said, or what he shall say, is the truth. It is the most solemn form under which one can assert or pronounce anything, and its violation is a crime of the darkest hue; one which God has declared he will punish; one that is made infamous and punishable by fine and imprisonment, by the laws of the land. Thus Christian obligation is required of every officer of the general Government, who fills any position of trust, honor or emolument. Many reports are required in the form and shape of affidavits."

Nobody has lied more in his life or changed positions than Trump. He's a louse.

But I happen to agree with Trump on the immigration issue. And I will vote for him in the election if he is the nominee.

But make no mistake....he's a gigantic jackass. It's just that the Dems will nominate one of two hardcore leftists. So Trump gets my vote by default. What a sad state this country has come to.

Nobody has lied more in his life or changed positions than Trump. He's a louse.

See, that is what you call a baseless accusation. You can't back it up with anything, but you just through it out there anyway. That makes you a dishonest POS and not worth my time.

Worse! He’s saying throw away your vote don’t vote on policy or candidate. (Even though we hate you)...use your vote to help us get to a brokered convention so we can chose our puppet candidate. And you rubes continue to send tax dollars to us to line our and our family pockets

Candidate Mitt Romney displayed a smirking smug self-assurance....vim, vigor, energy, passion, zeal, self-assurance, steadfastness to purpose....when villifying and condemning Trump..... that he never displayed when he ran for president against the current WH resident.

And not even one discouraging word from Mitty WRT a putative opponent......Hillary/s sabotaging US ntl security to get rich as Secy of State.

Have a nice day.
