Obama, Are You Listening? This DIRECTLY Contradicts Your Message That The Constitution Is A Document Of Negative Liberties!!!

"The Constitution on which our Union rests, shall be administered by me [as President] according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain understanding of the people of the United States at the time of its adoption -- a meaning to be found in the explanations of those who advocated, not those who opposed it, and who opposed it merely lest the construction should be applied which they denounced as possible." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Mesrs. Eddy, Russel, Thurber, Wheaton and Smith, 1801

These are the musings, opinions, and yes, the rants of a concerned American citizen. They are published for your entertainment, enlightenment and information, but mostly to make you think and make you question. I refuse to be labeled politically - I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am a conservative American and a supporter of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. I believe in the Constitution and The Bill of Rights as they were written. I do not believe they are "living" documents, but the concrete foundation of America. I have witnessed, over the past 45 years, a slow but constant erosion of the ideals and principles that made our country the greatest nation on earth - ever. That erosion has intensified dramatically in recent years, but particularly in 2009 and 2010. And while we may have slowed that erosion through the elections in 2010, we have yet to stop the flow of progressive sewerage that causes that erosion! There have been other great civilizations, but none that have contributed so much to world evolvement in such a short period of time. And as you undoubtedly have realized, none of them are around today. I don't want that same fate to visit America. I loved the America I grew up in; I miss that America today. I have done a lot of research, and in a word, Progressivism has deminished her, and continues to erode her strength. If we do not actively engage in the process to stop and reverse the erosion, she will be destroyed. And history will compare her to a beautiful shooting star - gone, all too soon.

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty." - George Washington about the two-party system

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907
