I've started thinking about the Constitution as outlining where the government can go, instead of where it can't. I think that's an easier way to see that the rights of man come from above, and the constitution reserves certain powers to itself in clear-cut, legal terms. It's only because we've started thinking that the constitution gives us our rights that we're losing them!

Its no accident that we think about the Constitution in a backwards manner; the RAT-bastards and their sycophantic allies in the MSM have been brainwashing us for 40 years. The federal judiciary has been of little help because it does not do its number one job: insisting on the Constitutional limitations of government by slapping down ambitious and unscrupulous politicians and the unconstitutional laws which they write. Today the Constitution has been turned upside down: it is no longer a limiting document on the authority of government, but a document that has been interpreted as limiting the liberty of the citizens.
