Both Houses of Congress has taken such liberties with both our founding documents as to be nothing less than breathtaking. And, if we don’t recapture our breath, the fresh prosperous and precious air of freedom, we shall surely suffocate.

“The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered… deeply, …finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” |

George Washington quotes (American commander in chief of the colonial armies in the American Revolution (1775-83) and subsequently 1st US President (1789-97), 1732-1799) |
We must as individual countrymen understand that each of us are responsible for the preservation of freedom. Freedom is what gives us the power to be the masters over our servant government. Freedom is what gives us the power to compel our Government to legalize the exploration and drilling for our vast resources of oil and natural gas, where they actually “exist”, rather than in the virtually worthless lease areas that the U.S. Congress so conveniently let’s us explore now.
The vast majority of our hardships are as a result of a U.S. Congress that has no respect for the rule of law, what-so-ever. The majority of the men and women in Congress are little more than hoodlums, tyrants and despots of the most heinous kind. They are beguiling minions of the devil himself who I can’t decide whether it is Congresswoman Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi or Senator Harry Reid. For what they have done to The Constitution of The United States of America this writer believes is nothing less than treason and they should be hung.
I have spent over 1 ½ years researching what the U.S. Congress has done in terms of unconstitutional acts and it is extraordinary. Even you reading this who have never read The Constitution can very simply understand how The U.S. Congress has violated the law of the 9th and 10th amendments. Read these short but concise laws which are the very ultimate supreme law that supersede and are above all laws enacted by Congress:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. This Amendment is a dovetail to the “enumerated” powers of the Federal Government:
The enumerated powers are a list of specific responsibilities found in Article 1 Section 8 of the United States Constitution, which enumerate the authority granted to the United States Congress. Congress may exercise only those powers that are granted to it by the Constitution, limited by the Bill of Rights and the other protections found in the Constitutional text.
The classical statement of a government of enumerated powers is that by Chief Justice Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland:
This government is acknowledged by all, to be one of enumerated powers. The principle, that it can exercise only the powers granted to it, would seem too apparent, to have required to be enforced by all those arguments, which its enlightened friends, while it was depending before the people, found it necessary to urge; that principle is now universally admitted.
These, folks, are the specific things that should have been drilled into our heads when we were in school. We should have memorized them word for word, because if we had the vast majority of us, INDIVIDUALLY, would be far wealthier and certainly live in true freedom. For the Federal Government would be a very small office, by today’s standard, in deed.
Then the sovereign and independent State Governments would be far larger and more powerful than they are today, but they would be forced to compete for us. They would be forced to provide the best possible environment for us to be independently successful, create wealth and have as much freedom and few laws as possible. Because, if a State taxed us too much or made too many restrictive laws, we would simply move ourselves and our wealth to a better State that knew how to treat their free masters.
The first step in restoring our freedom and prosperity is to realize the propriety of Mr. James Madison’s statement in the first paragraph above; for without the “sense” of its meaning as intended in every single nuance of each and every word, in spirit and intent and importance the security of our prosperity and freedom is not secure from the ravages of The U.S. Congress.
