Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.Amendment I to the Articles of the Constitution of the United States of America
In
June of 1776, the Continental
Congress appointed a “Committee
of Five” assigned to draft a declaration addressing grievances
against the King of England and announce a declaration of
independence as decided by the representatives of each of the
thirteen colonies' conventions. The committee consisted of John
Adams
of Massachusetts, Benjamin
Franklin
of Pennsylvania, Thomas
Jefferson
of Virginia, Robert
R. Livingston
of New York, and Roger
Sherman
of Connecticut. It was decided within that committee that Thomas
Jefferson write the first draft i
and had to do so within seventeen days. Jefferson consulted other
members of the Continental Congress, as well as John Adams as
promised to committee members.
The draft copy of the declaration
document was presented to Congress on June 28th,
1776 and took two days to edit Jefferson's accomplishment, which
reduced the writing to about one fourth of its original content.
Jefferson had written a portion that asserted that Britain had forced
slavery on the colonies, but it was removed in order to obtain
support from persons in Britain who were for the colonies
independence. Jefferson wrote in his diaries and in letters that
Congress had “mangled” his draft version, but finally conceded
with the majority that the Declaration of Independence was completed.
After several days of voting for the resolution of independence, to
include Thomas Jefferson's critical passage of the slave trade, ii
which he still resented, the wording of the Declaration of
Independence was approved and sent to the printer for publication, to
include 56
signatures on July 4th,
1776 – which has become the day set aside for the celebration of
the anniversary of the birth of the United States of America.
At
the close of the convention and all the notes had been recorded by
James
Madison,
the meeting was adjourned having successfully produced the “law of
the land” and decision made as to what form of government was to be
adopted. A lady passing by saw Benjamin Franklin ad asked:
What have we got – a Republic or a Monarchy?
To
which Benjamin Franklin replied:
While
one of the most perfect documents in human history had been completed
and signed on that day, meant to last and adapt to changing
conditions, it remains as a document that supports limited government
– and when the amendments (the first ten) were included, it
solidified in writing the rights and liberties of American citizens
as well as the rights of the state governments that had united into a
Union that has never been successfully duplicated. iii
The
infiltration of socialist and communist political organizations from
the 1930s, when labor unions sponsored by those organizations were
established and on into the 1960s, when America was experiencing a
cultural change – the Constitution had remained a solid foundation
up to that point to ensure that rights and liberties are guaranteed.
During the American
Civil War, Abraham
Lincoln,
has temporarily discontinued Habeas
Corpus
in the name of “national security” of the Union, which had been
split by the succession of states that had formed the Confederate
States of America. After the Civil War, those rights were reinstated.
The American Civil War had caused a temporary subtraction of a right
provided by the Constitution and its amendments, but it was also a
time when it was declared that slavery was no longer legal and slaves
were emancipated,
while being officially freed by adding the 13th
Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States.
In
the 1960s, America's colleges and universities were infiltrated by
socialist and communist organizations, and although during this
period the 13th
Amendment was further enhanced by the Civil
Rights Act, it was a period when it seemed students spent more
time demonstrating against the government rather than studying. It
too was a revolution, but one of ideas.
While
ideas are not dangerous in itself, the concepts of socialism and
communism is not conducive to the Constitution of the United States
of America in the check-and-balance
(separation of
powers)
system of government or the written guarantee of the rights and
liberties of the American citizen. Those separation of powers is what
created a republic instead of a democratic monarchy from the
beginning and what kept America great – freedom of enterprise,
property rights, et cetera. Yet, during the 1960s, those same
radicals who didn't just want to change the ideology of society
towards issues of racism and true equality – but also wanted its
government to change its ideology.
Those
“radicals” used the articles of the Constitution and,
specifically, the amendments of the Constitution to reinforce their
political posture. One of those most frequently cited was the First
Amendment, transcribed at the heading of this article.
During
the presidency of Barack H. Obama, who is still being legally
questioned over the possible falseness of his birth certificate that
states he was born in Hawaii when in fact he was born in Kenya; as
well as his disregard towards the Constitution of the United States –
only complying when it suits his and his supporter's agenda. Indeed,
a Supreme Court Justice, appointed by Bill Clinton, during a foreign
TV interview dismissed the Constitution of the United States and
suggested that it be revised and/or rescinded as a “modern
document”.
Such
is the case of the infamous
Jane
Fonda,
a person who cheered the likes of communist Mao in the 1960s and
1970s, was part of communist-backed demonstrations and organizations,
and who literally committed treason against members of the US Armed
Forces serving in Vietnam and the interests of the United States of
America – has proven that she has never changed. Jane Fonda
boycotted and demonstrated against the “establishment” in the
1970s, taking on the political propaganda tool of anti-capitalism,
and then married Ted
Turner,
one of the wealthiest men (and anti-Christian)
in America, who has since sought to change
his attitude toward Christians. Jane Fonda has been a consistent
anti-American iv
and a model of the hypocrisy of those who identified themselves as
“progressive” - the “new liberal democrats”.
In
a CNN opinion website, Jane
Fonda,
Robin
Morgan,
and Gloria
Stein
v
submitted a complaint against Rush
Limbaugh for
his “hate speech” and requested that the FCC not renew his
license and remove him from the airwaves.
I
warned folks that those whoever supported hate crime laws would
eventually attempt to establish hate speech laws – and this is a
“told ya so” statement. Briefly retrospective, hate crime laws
make no sense because violent acts are against the law already –
and adding to the punishment of a violent crime for something someone
“thinks about” or “though of” or “possibly thought of” is
not within the framework of what America and its Constitution is all
about. It is a political tool established by Marxism and used by
tyrants since.
It
is all over the incident between Rush
Limbaugh and a Georgetown law student over her insistence that
she is “entitled” to free contraceptives provided by the
university (government taxpayers). Mr. Limbaugh had used derogatory
language and made a public apology – which cost him some sponsors
for his show and now three “Femi-Nazi”
women are calling for the FCC to put him off the air.
Meanwhile,
nothing is said, as is the usual case with progressive
democrat-socialists, about Bill
Maher,
Chris
Matthews
and other leftist talking heads who have performed the same
detrimental “hate speech” against women like Sarah
Palin. Being a woman, does not Sarah Palin count with the Women's
Liberation Movement's protection? She's a woman, right?
If
the FCC
is to revoke the license to operate on the airwaves of Rush Limbaugh,
than so must Bill
Maher,
Chris Matthews
and other “hate speech” pundits and talking heads. Even the
popular Steven
Cobert
whose televised Cobert
Report
of Comedy
Central
is a big hit would have to be involved, along with comedy performers
and whistle blowers sarcasm like NewsBusted and maybe this website.
Hate
Crime Laws are wrong because they punish criminals for what they
think, not what they do – there are already laws on the books for
crimes of violence, which a normal person would conclude that a
person certainly must hate that person or persons they commit a
violent act against. Such laws must be stricken from the books and
all legislation by the federal government push the delete button.
That makes this a fitting time to inquire of his syndicator, Clear Channel Communications, whether it intends to continue supporting someone who addicts his audience to regular doses of hate speech. Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks Inc., which hosts Limbaugh's program, has defended his recent comments. If Clear Channel won't clean up its airways, then surely it's time for the public to ask the FCC a basic question: Are the stations carrying Limbaugh's show in fact using their licenses "in the public interest?" … This isn't political. While we disagree with Limbaugh's politics, what's at stake is the fallout of a society tolerating toxic, hate-inciting speech. For 20 years, Limbaugh has hidden behind the First Amendment, or else claimed he's really "doing humor" or "entertainment." He is indeed constitutionally entitled to his opinions, but he is not constitutionally entitled to the people's airways. …
Fonda/Steinem
wrote “This isn't political” - a definite contradiction to their
actions in the past and present.
Hate
Crime Laws lead to Hate
Speech Laws – and that is what we have here, at least in the
progressive stage. Other nations have established such laws already
in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chili and the Council of
Europe (European Union). In the past two decades, at least, there has
been a movement that America change itself – both politically and
socially towards the political ideology of Europe, when it has proven
not to be in favor of individual freedom and dismisses several rights
that have been established by our Constitution. It is because there
has been an infiltration of what is called the political
left
whose agenda is to turn America into a democratic-socialist state who
favors nannyism,
the Marxist collectivism, and altering the Constitution and its
amendments – policies and laws that made America a free and great
nation. There are Americans who would change the concept of America
being the model to follow to an America that follows the road to
financial ruin, like what happened to the Soviet Union and what is
going on with the European Union at the present time.
A
reformation revolution is in order – and it is the type that is a
social revolution and a political one: (1) socially, America must
reform itself. People must bring back important values that must be
taught to their children (not by the government, run by progressives)
and return the sanctity of marriage and the responsibilities of being
a parent – two parents, for each have an important role in
parenting; (2) politically, we need to revert back to a
constitutional republic, a Jeffersonian
republic,
that protects not dissects, and enforces laws because they were
legislated, not because it fits a particular political agenda. The
Rule of Law must override the Rule of Men.
It
is not up to the FCC to decide or perform any action; however, there
are still defamation
laws on the books that the Georgetown law student that instigated
the Fonda/Steinem demand that the FCC take Limbaugh off the air. So,
file a complaint with a hired lawyer, or the Georgia law student can
file it, and take Limbaugh to court – and let the judge/jury
decide.
Rush,
like myself, have stated in the past that along with freedom of
choice, there is the responsibility to accept the consequences. I
understand that Limbaugh let his emotion override his senses –
frustrated at the audacity of an American citizen thinking that
Americans have the right under constitutional law of entitlements.
Yes,
American citizens have the First Amendment to guarantee freedom of
speech; however, it does not guarantee that what one says is either
correct or socially acceptable in terms of defamation or wrongfully
accusing someone of something. It also does not demand that everyone
must agree with someone who declares freedom of speech.
In
an troubling time when an American Supreme Court Justice disavows her
sworn allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and others
demand that it be rewritten vi
– their underlying reasons not being conducive toward individual
liberty, a limited government, or a free nation.
When
GW Bush was president, he was depicted and called a Nazi; yet these
women and others who have pushed their way into the framework of our
educational and government system – are asking our government to
act like the Gestapo (IRS and Department of Treasury already has that
role) and develop government control of the media via FCC. The
mainstream media is already bias and only provides what they want the
people to know and insist upon the public thinking in their lines of
thought – it is another factor in the progressive degradation of
the American republic and what it originally stood for.
Yes,
Mr. Franklin, you were not being pessimistic when you said - “It's
a republic, if you can keep it.” But it was right on the money.
It
is up to “We the People” to demand the proper reformation of our
government. It is also up to them as to who
operates it on our behalf. Blame can certainly be placed upon those
in Washington, DC and our state capitols for the woes brought upon
America, as well as the state of the Union; however, the gist of the
issue falls upon American citizens – you and I – We the People.
So,
what are you going to do about it?
Put
more time and effort and don't be apathetic. There are those you have
elected (or didn't elect) that are legislating your liberties away
and governing your personal lives in one form or another; as well as
elected officials who seem to think that Constitution should only be
obeyed or thought of as an authority when it suits their political
and ideological agenda.
Wake
up America – the clock is ticking and one day you might wake up
when it is too late to reform anything.
The
Rules of Law are for everyone – not just the established elite.
Shock
the establishment within the two traditional parties – ensure that
Ron Paul is on the national political ticket to run against Obama.
Otherwise, I am afraid he has stacked the cards in his favor, and
will win another four years. And the way he acts against the
Constitution, it may be very well a LONG term – beyond the required
two terms. All it takes is for the government to either disregard or
change the rules. The rules have already been changed because
evidence points strongly that Obama's birth certificate was indeed a
forgery or doctored document, and other facts indicate he was not
born in the United States.
I
said it before and will say it again – all candidates who register
to run for the office of senator, representative and especially the
President of the United States (and his cabinet members) should
undergo the same full background check I had to undergo when I
applied for a Top
Secret
clearance in the military. After all, those individuals probably see
more sensitive material than I did – especially the President of
the United States and his cabinet.
Food
for thought here.
Enuff
said, for now. vii
SUGGESTED VIEWING/READING:
i
Initially the committee thought that John Adams should write the
draft, but John Adams persuaded them to choose Jefferson and
promised to consult with Jefferson to prepare the draft
of the declaration.
iii
The European
Union is a geo-political entity that began as six state
members and grew to 27 European states. While its principles mirror
that of the uniting of the thirteen colonies into thirteen separate
states under a federal authority, its ideology is distinct from
ideas of federation, confederation, or customs union and whose
foundation was principally to make war unthinkable and materially
impossible – originally
conceived by treaties passed in 1951 and committees formed between
1958 and 1972. The European Union Constitution was not signed until
2004, two years after the “euro” replaced twelve national
currencies of member states of the EU. Most difficulties with the
union of the European states has been economically.
iv
“anti-American” in the sense that she, like other Democratic
Progressives, Socialists, and Communists in America have sided with
enemies of freedom and liberty, going beyond any legitimate
complaint concerning policies of the United States government as
well as promoting social engineering through legislation that
conform to ideology and political policies that would alter or even
rescind the Constitution of the United States.
v
All three women are part of the Women’s
Liberation Movement.
vi
Amendments were added for a reason, as well as future amendments be
allowed if a two-thirds majority agrees and a majority of states
ratify that amendment. Therefore, the Constitution can be amended as
periods in history or situations call for it – bu t it cannot be
changed just because of a social issue or a political ideology that
has an agenda to change America from a constitutional republic to a
nanny-socialist state.
vii
“Enuff” is not misspelled or a “typo” – it's the way I
feel it should be spelled – I am also in rebellion against the
manner in which we speak and write the English language. Also, it is
just an insert of humor --- so please don't write to me and correct
this use of the word and its spelling.
I’m not certain if you are aware that certain "communist" activities are prohibited by the following U.S. Codes…………
