The Constitution Is Dead. Long Live the Constitution!
The United States Constitution, a precious gift of liberty and moral clarity from the Founding Fathers, lies not defeated by the sword of tyrants, but slowly bled to death by the hands of those who swore to preserve, protect, and defend it. US Presidents, members of Congress, and judges have, over decades, by their actions—or failure to act in accordance with their sacred oath—dismantled the US Constitution clause by clause, replacing the constitutional rule of law envisioned by the Founding Fathers with a totalitarian, unaccountable police state.
This essay is a eulogy—but also a call to action. The Constitution may be dead in practice, but its soul lives on in the hearts of the American people and to restore liberty, peace, and prosperity in America, we must do all we can to make the Constitution the law of the land again. If we act with love, conscience, intelligence, and courage, we can leave our children and grandchildren a gift of constitutional, non-intrusive, transparent, accountable, well-managed, honest, humane, and intelligent government “of the people, by the people, for the people.”
The US Constitution died aborning. Read HOLOGRAM OF LIBERTY by Kenneth Royce, if you can find it. If you cannot locate a copy, try HAMILTON’S CURSE by Thomas DiLorenzo. Prepare to become angry, cynical, and bitter. Patrick Henry got it when he stated he: “…smelled a rat.” Amerika has been at the mercy of Banksters since the Revolution. Sad.
A good article with decent suggestions as to how to right what is wrong. The problems are deeper, however, and I think Brandon Smith has nailed it here: https://alt-market.us/is-christian-nationalism-the-solution-to-the-frailty-of-liberalism/
