POLITICIANS LACK HONOR OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS

A nation founded by statemen being run by shady politicians today

Patriot Update – Sean Aland – 7/21/2012

This month we celebrated America’s birthday, the 4th of July.  The significance of those who were willing to risk everything to see this great nation come into being cannot be over stated.  As part of our family celebration we discussed how the Declaration of Independence was passed on the 2nd of July and Independence declared the 4th of July.  The Constitution of the U.S. would be ratified 11 years later. Before it was passed, the Constitution had been scrutinized word by word.  Everyone involved understood what was in it; unlike today where our elected officials pass legislation without even reading it.

Our founders were citizen legislators and public servants.  They stayed at home among their constituents and came to Washington to pass legislation only on an “as needed” basis.  They were not career politicians and power brokers.  They had character, strong moral values, and a healthy fear of God.

The political elites have forgotten the sacrifices made by our founding statesman years ago and that are still being made today by our military.  It is not the rhetoric of self-serving politicians but the actions of statesman who are willing to sacrifice it all for the ideas of our Constitution that provides our freedom and liberty.

For years the progressives that were slowing taking over the Democratic Party methodically employed steps to dumb down the American populace.  Courses like Civics were no longer required in the public schools.  Consequently, young people now have no idea how their government works.  American government and U.S. History used to be required subjects for freshman in college but now they are just electives.  Add to this the liberal tripe that college professors pour into the mush-melon heads of college students and you end up with uninformed young people who believe everything the liberal media mavens tell them.

The Tea Party stands for some hard truths the current administration wishes to diminish or ignore.  The Tea Party is about transforming America by responsibly upholding the Constitution and the values our nation was founded on.  Tea Party patriots are fighting progressive politicians in both political parties.  Politicians today are concerned only with holding onto power to control the government. 

There are no longer any statesmen in Washington, D.C.—just politicians who pass legislation to pay off lobbyists, for personal gain, or more recently to see what is in it. This is Congress for sale.  Politicians today want to run your life, make their fortune and take your fortune, and certainly have no honor as is demonstrated by the way they conduct themselves, sell their votes, pass porked-up legislation, and  blatantly lie to advance their agenda.

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House, with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ." -- Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."-- Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle, which if acted on, would save one-half the wars of the world."-- Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -- Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." -- Thomas Jefferson

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."-- Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."-- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Borrowed from the Illinois Tea Party

Declaration of Independence

On July 4 concerned citizens gathered to challenge an out of control, tyrannical despot who taxed them without adequate representation, threatened their religious freedom and denied them their individual liberty. Our question to you: What year do you believe we're talking about?

While you are spending your day with your friends and family, find a moment to read the Declaration of Independence today. When you read it, please take note of the passages that are still relevant today, for instance:

The history of....is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.....

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world...

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent...

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us....

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers...

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.....

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States....

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

The Declaration of Independence, the founding document of the United States of America, was adopted on July 4, 1776. The one and only man who signed the Declaration on July 4 was John Hancock, the President of the Continental Congress at the time. Most of the 56 signers of the document actually signed it in August. Furthermore, the names of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were withheld from the public for more than six months to protect the signers. After all, they were guilty of "treason" and had Independence not been successful, they would have been punished by death.

Punished by death. We do not have to worry about such a fate for standing up for what we believe in. We have no excuse for not doing everything we can to make a difference in November.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in under 3 weeks.

What are you able to do in the next 4 months through the November election?

FOUNDING FATHERS FEARED ACTIONS OF A PRESIDENT THAT USURPS POWER

Obama's Arrogant Authoritarianism


http://links.heritage.org/hostedemail/email.htm?CID=10813161993&ch=A88FC26EB3B82F6C3DC36EFB7A7187AD&h=809eb83b0fe2c387004bd519e76320bb&ei=WTTdYQ8NS

Heritage Founation -- Morning Bell -- 1/10/2012

The greatest political revolution since the American Founding has been the shift of power away from the institutions of constitutional government to an oligarchy of unelected experts. They rule over virtually every aspect of our daily lives, ostensibly in the name of the American people but in actuality by the claimed authority of science, policy expertise, and administrative efficiency.

If this regime becomes the undisputed norm -- accepted not only among the intellectual and political elites, but also by the American people, as the defining characteristic of the modern state -- it could well mark the end of our great experiment in self-government.

President Obama's actions are exactly the kind that the Founders feared and sought to guard against. His illegal appointments usurp power from the American people's duly elected representatives, and the regulations they will promulgate will, undoubtedly, contribute to the unabated growth of the undemocratic administrative state.

Now that the President has crossed the threshold of constitutionality, there really is no telling where he may stop. There is a clear trend here, however, and it leads further and further from the constitutional order. With these illegal appointments, the President has taken to new heights his disdain for the separation of powers. Whether it will stop here depends on Congress -- Will lawmakers of both parties reassert the legislature's constitutional authority and take a stand against Obama's arrogant new authoritarianism?

CELEBRATE THE FOURTH OF JULY WITH THE 4TH OF JULY DECLARATION

http://townhall.com/columnists/dennisprager/2011/07/02/do_this_for_10_minutes_on_the_fourth_of_july/page/full/

Dennis Pragger -- 7/2/2011
Four years ago, I wrote a column titled "America Needs a July Fourth Seder." In it, I explained that "national memory dies without national ritual. And without a national memory, a nation dies." Many readers and listeners to my radio show responded by creating their own rituals to make the day far more meaningful than watching fireworks and eating hot dogs.


I now present a simple 10-minute ceremony that every American can easily use on July Fourth. It is a product of the Internet-based Prager University that I founded nearly two years ago. We call it the Fourth of July Declaration, and here it is. (A paginated and printed version can be downloaded at the website www.prageruniversity.com).


It begins with a note to the individual leading the ritual, the "host."

"WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.  That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among the Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, 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."

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitute of our Intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly Publish and Declare, That these United Colonies are,  and of Right ought to be, Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political Connection between them and the State of Great-Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent State may of right do.-- And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

WERE THE FOUNDERS CHRISTIANS?

Read this article and the answer is YES.


http://www.rightsidenews.com/2011062113867/life-and-science/culture-wars/were-the-founders-christians-yep-no-doubt-about-it.html?utm_source=Right+Side+News&utm_campaign=1a2e6c6fe5-daily-rss-newsletter&utm_medium=email

 . . . .  the truth is that the Constitution was framed by Bible-believing Christians who believed that American law must of necessity rest upon the bedrock of the Holy Scriptures. 

To our secularist friends: man up, get over yourselves, and deal with it.
