26, 2009 Leave it to a left leaning liberal to distort one of the founding documents and attempt to transform it into a touchy-feely make nice social document. The Declaration of Independence was a repudiation of oppressive government, Mr. Obama, and had absolutely nothing to do with so-called "small thinking, prejudice and bigotry." Warner Todd Huston made a similar observation in his recent article entitled: "Obama Thinks Original Declaration of Independence Not Good Enough?" "It appears that Obama fundamentally misunderstands what the Declaration of Independence even stood for. The Declaration was no denouement of 'ideology.' In fact, it was quite a triumphant invention of one: an American ideology. It was the firm statement that all men were created equal and 'endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.' But it was also chiefly a call to throw off a government. It was no mere call to be nice to your neighbors in any such simple way as Obama invokes the document." Mr. Huston concluded his article by stating: "Lastly, I'd wonder exactly who Barack Obama imagines is up to the task of writing this 'new' declaration? Where are the Thomas Jeffersons today? For that matter, where are the Governor Morrises to spruce up the draft in a committee of style? I would submit that we have no such men up to the task today. Certainly Barack Obama doesn't fit the bill, his delusion of being the next Abraham Lincoln notwithstanding." Writing a "new" Declaration of Independence is not as difficult as you think, Mr. Huston, because Jefferson and Morris have given us the blueprint. Oppression and injustice have always been tools of kings and governments. The challenge is to identify the abuses and light the fire of dissent before government can find a way to extinguish it. In retrospect, King George will look like a boy scout compared to what Americans have experienced the past 80 years and will experience in the near future under the banner of "constitutional government." Under the guise of a "democratic" form of government, our elected representatives have used the power of the federal government and the threat of force to compel obedience to their unconstitutional dictates. Americans begging for higher taxes and enslaving themselves in the name of freedom and liberty must have King George smiling from the grave. During a speech before the Virginia Ratifying Convention in June of 1788 Patrick Henry stated: "We are told that our own representatives, Congress, will not exercise their powers oppressively. Who has enslaved France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, and the other countries that groan under tyranny? They have been enslaved by the hands of their own people. If it be so in America, it will be only as it has been every where else." Every 2 years the American people line up like sheep to vote for a class of individuals whose ultimate goal is to acquire and exercise more power over their fellow citizens. As Henry stated, we are being enslaved by the hands of our own people. Since our elected representatives cannot be trusted with power, you're right Mr. Obama, we do need a "new" Declaration of Independence because the federal government has become more oppressive than King George.

Robert
Greenslade focuses his writing on issues surrounding the federal government
and the Constitution. He believes politicians at the federal level, through
ignorance or design, are systematically dismantling the Constitution in
an effort to expand their power and consolidate control over the American
people. He has dedicated himself to resurrecting the true intent of the
Constitution in the hope that the information will contribute, in some
small way, to restoring the system of limited government established by
the Constitution.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Constitution, take a look at this book. I use it in many of my articles and it is the best book I've found on this subject. Bob Reprint of the 1868 edition. ''Perhaps the ablest analysis of the nature and character of the federal government that has ever been published. It has remained unanswered.'' This review of Judge Story's Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States is perhaps the ablest analysis of the nature and character of the Federal Government that has ever been published. It has remained unanswered. Indeed, we are not aware that any attempt has been made to challenge the soundness of its reasoning. The great vise of Judge Story and the Federalists consisted in desiring the clothe the federal government with almost monarchical power, whereas the States had carefully and resolutely reserved the great mass of political power for themselves. The powers which they delegated to the federal government were few, and were general in their character. Those which they reserved embraced their original and inalienable sovereignty, which no state imagined it was surrendering when it adopted the constitution. Mr. Madison dwelt with great force upon the fact that ''a delegated is not a surrendered power.'' The states surrendered no powers to the federal government -- they only delegated them. 160 pages. |
