The rebellion has started, as seen both Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz.

Sad, but true.

The rebelion must insure that liberals are properly processed.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government......

Our Founders didn't have constitutional means to right the wrongs of George III. They were forced to make horrible war.

We are not, IF we exercise the peaceful means the Framers bequeathed. Our job is much easier than theirs, for the solution to the concentration of power in DC is to distribute it as per the Framers design.

Article V.

We could get the Constitution back one day. Electing someone like Ted Cruz would be a start. But even that is no assurance. We'll need to raise up a generation - like the one that produced the Constitution - to rise to rebellion and overthrow a judicial tyranny supported by the political elite.

We will get the Constitution back, or we will get some exceptionally ugly consequences. I'm hoping the petty tyrants on the left will permit this peaceably, but they will permit us to restore the rule of law, one way or the other. I'm also hoping that either Cruz or Trump will actually deliver on that potential. If not, and quickly, it's time to make final preparations for other options.

Once we restore the rule of law, we need to remind decent people that teaching civics and the value of freedom to the next generation is their most important responsibility. We can never again allow America's enemies to control that aspect of education.

You can’t get the Constitution back by subverting it so that Cruz can be elected. To elect Cruz you have to side with Ginsburg’s side of the court who believes her grandson born in France is an NBC instead of Scalia who has indicated he thinks it might require Jus Soli.

This is what makes the debate over the meaning of natural-born citizen so hilarious. The Constitution is dead. The left killed it over the course of half a century, going back to the 1962 school-prayer decision. And we're running around in circles trying to decipher a phrase which will probably never be defined, definitively.

This is a game conservatives can't win.


Great point in the article. A lot of conservatives don't want to win. They want to sit on their moral high horse and whine about things.

It was Khrushchev who said, paraphrased: “Your children will be taught and they and you will not know that they are being taught”.....referring to socialism/communism.

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) — The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a “natural born citizen” is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President, it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

The constitution is dead. It will not be revived unless a moral plurality take control of all governing by violent force.

We have fallen off the demographic cliff and returning to the rule of law through peaceful means is NO LONGER POSSIBLE. Electing Cruz or Trump will make little difference unless they are willing to go even further than Obutthole down the despotic trail of tears.

Quit talking. Prepare for war. Or prepare to go into a re-education camp.
