They don’t get it that people who are pro-constitution are actually FOR government—constitutional government. They simply oppose a government that makes up the rules as it goes, as though we can’t read and understand the US Constitution for ourselves.

The statist, anti-constitutional left stacks the courts with co-conspirators in black robes, then thinks we don’t know what’s going on. Judges make it up as they go, like recent rulings that government can seize your property for public purposes (meaning anything they want) versus public use, that we can be searched without probable cause or a warrant, and that homosexual “marriage” is a civil right per the 14th Amendment!

So we don’t oppose government. We WANT government that governs per our (We the People’s) original agreement—the US Constitution. Truth be told we’re have been willing to tolerate some statism, but the violations are getting more and more egregious these days.

Obamacare, for example, didn’t just give free (subsidized) care to the needy. If that was all it did, we might complain of the cost, but we’d probably not see it as the crisis it is. No. The problem with Obamacare is that the 90% of us who did NOT want to have our health care messed with are having our liberty taken for the other 10%.
