"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."
Ronald Reagan

American History Condensed - Learning About The Constitution

The Constitution was drafted at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787 and ratified the following year. The Constitution divides governmental powers between the National and State governments in a system known as Federalism. It also divides the National government into three independent branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial which serves as checks and balances upon one another.

In addition to listing the powers of the National Government; which include the power to collect taxes, regulate trade, and declare war - the Constitution enumerates the powers forbidden to the States and to Congress; and the procedures for electing and appointing government officials as well as procedures for Amending the Constitution. The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution, was ratified in 1791. These amendments, are intended to protect individual liberties from the power of the National Government, guarantee freedom of speech, the press, religion, petition, and assembly; and specify the rights of the accused in criminal and civil cases.

American History Condensed - Constitutional Amendments19 - 27

My people perish from a lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4: 6 (KJV)

Many cannot understand the differences between a right - a privilege - sanction.

America is a Constitutional Republic ruled by Law and NOT a Democracy that is ruled by the 'Majority of the Minute'.

'Constitutional Rights' are Human Rights - life, liberty, freedom to own property, freedom from Government, freedom to worship or not worship, freedom to assemble, freedom to vote etc.

'Privileges' - A Society of Free Individuals can also 'Grant' certain Privileges that have requirements by competent authorities, e.g. Granting licenses to Medical Doctors, Airplane Pilots, Automobile Drivers etc. in order to prove the ability to meet Standards of knowledge, competency and perhaps age.

A Society of Free Individuals can also 'Sanction Certain Societal Behavior' e.g. the 'Age of Consent for Sex', Marriage, consumption of Alcohol and what 'Drugs' are legal or illegal etc.

That Society has the 'Right' to Sanction or authorize, approve, support or allow certain behavior within the Society, is a point of concern for some within Society.

Some believe that Government (at ANY level and especially at the Federal level) should have 'No Role' in determining who can marry or at what age, whether abortion should be legal and/or at what age, what drugs should be freely available or restricted and what the age of consent should be for sex etc. - these people believe that a Society of Individuals have NO right to Sanction ANY behavior.

This reveals the age old struggle between 'Good and Evil' and most likely will never be settled by law.

There are two major perspectives that Americans hold when it comes to 'Society'.
  1. The transformation of Society, to match the Depravity of Humans (Liberal Progressive and Libertarian).
  2. The transformation of Society, to match the standards that have produced Greatness in Humans (Conservative).
Some Americans hold the first view (1) that their morals and emotional nature should be accepted by other humans and their self-esteem, morals, values and personal identity is based on that acceptance. Those who hold this view deem this 'Character by Diversity' or 'Character by Freedom of the Individual'. This view is implicit in the notion that - there are NO standards - there are NO moral codes - there is NO right and wrong.

Many Americans believe that the second view (2) will bring about 'Historical Character'. They believe that a societies morals, standards and values, must be measured against societal standards that have proven in history, to bring about self-esteem, morals, values and personal identity of self worth.

Once again, these two societal views when abstracted, reveal the age old struggle between 'Good and Evil'.

Should Society fight against Evil, or should Society give in to Evil and produce a 'World of Darkness'?

American History Condensed - Constitutional Amendments11-18

My people perish from a lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4: 6 (KJV)

It should be clear to any thinking person that the Barack Obama 'Regime' will NOT enforce any existing laws that he or his Administration disagrees with - PERIOD.

It should also be clear that Barack Obama and his 'Regime' will break any law for political expedience or for any reason.

Selective Law Enforcement by Barack Obama and his 'Regime', is a clear indication that they disdain our Constitutional Republic and want to replace that 234 year success with Tyranny that is similar to a 'Lynch Mob', where Barack Obama will determine who, where, what and when any law is enforced.

The Barack Obama Administration has decided NOT to further investigate or charge the Black Panthers with voter intimidation (2008 election), even though there is overwhelming video evidence.

The Barack Obama Administration has determined that it is 'Illegal' for Arizona to enforce 'Legal Law' against 'Illegal Immigrants' and filed a lawsuit NOT against the 'Law Breakers' but against those enforcing a 'Legal Law'.

Every legal American Citizen has the right to vote ONCE in the Presidential General Election - Illegal Immigrants do NOT have the right to vote. Barack Obama and Liberal Progressives, along with Ron Paul and his followers are steadfastly AGAINST tamper proof ID's that would stop the voter fraud that was rampant in the 2008 General Election.

Barack Obama made a career of teaching and advocating Voter Fraud at ACORN, prior to becoming President and now he is in charge of ALL agencies that investigate and prosecute voter fraud.

Note this statement from Liberal Democrats: "We have interviews of many accounts from caucus states recounting threats, intimidation, lies, stolen documents, falsified documents, busing in voters in exchange for paying for "dinners," etc. There are at least 2000 complaints, in Texas alone, of irregularities directed towards the Obama Campaign, that have lead to a very fractured and broken Democratic Party."

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."
Joseph Stalin

Many American Citizens are denying the reality of this totalitarian approach of Selective Law Enforcement and law breaking by Barack Obama, what cannot be done is to evade the consequences of this denial.
