Thank you Jim for giving us your stance up-front. I'm hoping to remain a contributor, though I don't support our great President in _all_ things, especially immigration and the continued suppression of firearms.

All can please note, that I'm neither Republican or (certainly not) Democrat; rather, I'm a Christian (first), and a real American (second). Real Americans understand the original (organic) documents overrule _all_ politics, and the founding fathers paid a _heavy_ price to give us a republic (NOT a democracy) which is really quite different than the two political party game.

Although the Republicans are more American, these things change, and Americans must deligently protect our republic from all enemies foreign and domestic. I'm hoping site moderators and contributors move in that direction as the future unfolds before us.

Given a key to our people and governmental health is that we strive to remain near the root and purity of our founding fathers. We should look to them and our origins for guidance into the future. I'm aware of no one who has as good an understanding of our kind of government as the founding fathers (NO ONE).

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether on one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." --James Madison, The Federalist Papers No. 47.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else." --Theodore Roosevelt

See, even FDR knew some things about our republic. It seems to me the most important elements of it are limited government, bound by the rule of law, "and let us hear no more of trusting in men". New law cannot contradict organic law without amending the organic, regardless of who is asking for it.
