Regardless of the government’s self-preserving explanations, the Founders based their revolt and insurrection against the otherwise lawful King by clearly defining the Natural Laws of liberty and freedom and the right to self-governance in a manner that THEY the governed saw fit. The clearly predicated that revolt/insurrection as a means to throw off abusive and tyrannical government was not to be taken lightly and to be suffered as long as possible while seeking redress and appeal to the laws and the rights of citizens. That said, they clearly outlined the exact and specific causes for their revolt and declaration of the right to be free and independent. They broke every law and decree the government laid against them and most of the signators of the DOI suffered cruelly for their decision and actions.
“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.”
The logic and right they outlined then is the same and exact standard by which we must look at the issues that face us.
Look carefully- we do indeed have a representative government- our legislatures are not suspended and we have courts filled with judges and due processes that we can address via the ballot or political pressure of other lawful sorts. We do not have the same conditions the founders had, and not matter what ones’ personal opinion is, the right and duty to throw off this government and secure for our liberties another form that we the body politic see fit, is not ours based on the equation and principles outlined in the founding document of this peoples’ nation....
Many of us took oaths of allegiance to the US Constitution as military, naval and Law enforcement officers, all citizens implicitly have the same duty and we certainly must stand guard against abuses and usurpations of our liberty, and we do exactly that- one only has to look at the recent elections in 2016, lots of hopeful change, but it is like all civil change, a process, not a single act.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Multiple nationalities, loyalties, allegiances, citizenships were exactly what they were excluding with the natural born citizen requirement.
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley, Cruz and most importantly George P. Bush were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
