The Constitution, Faith, Freedom, and Independence

Free Republic ^ | 7/4/21 | Jim Newell

Two questions for those Patriots among us who love independence and are ready to fight to restore our Free Constitutional Republic.

1) How many get that the Constitution CREATED the Federal Government (and the United States of America) and ANY AND ALL valid power of the Federal Government is derived from particular enumerated powers enumerated mostly in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and if it is not particularly enumerated in the Constitution, it is not a valid power of the Federal Government? (Which is why 80+% of the federal government is unconstitutional and in tyranny. Many erroneously think that the feds power is legit if the Constitution doesn’t forbid it which brings up the next question.)

2) How many get that the first Ten Amendments are NOT a “Bill of Rights” because the Declaration of Independence which frames the Constitution declares man’s rights derive from God, not man, and the first Ten Amendments are a sampling of those powers the Constitution has not delegated to the feds? (Totalitarian governments around the world issue tons of “bills of rights” as though those rights are derived from man and his government.)

Amendments 9 and 10 explain this but few seem to care and the Delusional Lying Let has tried everything they can to blot out the effect if not the text of the 9th and 10th Amendments.

In the 1800’s, the federal government was almost entirely constitutional with spending around 5% of the GDP. The 1800’s in America was one of the most free periods in the whole sad history of man. Aside from the Civil War, the federal government was in the background of individuals’ everyday life.

The anti-federalists in the 1700’s also warned of the dangers of a central government. But our Founders in their wisdom knew that a central government was a necessary evil as a defense mainly against foreign attack. But everyone knew that if ever those who love government and tyranny ever got into sustained power, America would be in jeopardy.

The underlying cause of our plight is the astonishing turn of the whole world from trusting God around 1900, basically saying, “Thanks God, we’ll take it from here,” and straightaway, our federal government steadily became more and more unconstitutional and tyrannical as men trusted in man and his government, and less in God.

Hearts must turn back to trusting in God if we are to see a restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic. Faith and freedom are really inseparable. Trusting in God is the key to our true independence from the tyranny and overreach of man’s government.

I have a book about the old iron furnace towns of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. A bookkeeper in the long gone town of Martha wrote in his diary/journal in the early 1800s: "May the name of Washington be immortal...and the Constitution,may it never fail."

“if it is not particularly enumerated in the Constitution, it is not a valid power of the Federal Government”

IMO most FReepers get this; but there are certainly pockets of ‘strong government’ rightism, e.g., support for the federal War on Drugs, various space missions, etc.

How come nobody talks about it? It's today's greatest political issue and threat to our freedoms and wellbeing.

Too many buy the Leftist deflection of MORE unconstitutional government control of things like "Big Tech" and "Big Business".

I feel like way too many on the Right follow the "conservative" path of cursing the darkness rather than focus on the light of our goals and objectives.

Even so, IMO, way too many 1) don't know what the real and greatest core political problem is (the massively unconstitutional and now basically totalitarian feds), and 2) don't know what our objectives are or should be (restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic).
