The federal constitution isn't functioning correctly (in the small government way it was intended) because most stopped reading, abiding by and following the detailed instructions found in their state constitutions.
When states started turning to the federal government to take care of state issues, the downward spiral began - and it's been that way for many generations, not just our generation.
State constitutions are far more powerful than the federal constitution, and we, the people, are far more powerful than even our state constitutions - the principles themselves and/or the creator of life (re: god, or whatever you call him) is the supreme law of the land, and the most powerful of all - we only need to grasp that concept in order to get things back to working order.
We need the constitutions, federal and state, to stay in place, in spite of how horribly they are ignored, defiled and obnoxiously tortured by words and deeds, because we need documents around that will bring people back to the principles of logic and compassion this nation was intended to be founded upon ... but simply lost its way.
It's pretty clear that attempts are going to be made to bring forth a 'new constitution' by the Obama gang - the bright side of things is that no matter how many subscribe to the 'ideas' Obama suckers them in with, no matter how passionately they rally to kill the current constitutions - the principles themselves, and the ideas of liberty and freedom are not capable of being destroyed. We will always have them. Always.
And we will have many decisions to make in a system that will be bent on making criminals of those who seek only to follow the supreme law of the land, to follow a set of principles and to desire that their governments also follow those set of principles, and many will find themselves in really crappy situations because of their unwavering stance. So be it - they will bite the hand that feeds them, should they incarcerate us all. We're the producers, after all. We're the ones that take direct action. We're the volunteers. We're the ones that decide how to proceed.
One thing I'm absolutely positive of is that we have to stop clammering for the seperation of church and state - the folks at the top, those elite who own most of everything, they enjoy our debates on seperating government and 'religious' principles.
But the principles aren't religious! Even most atheists subscribe to the basic principles of a constitutional republic -
To those who seek to destroy the Republic, when we ask for seperation of church and state, or church and nation, we are requesting that there not be a foundation of moral principles at the helm of government - the word 'morality' isn't religious, either, but most of us have been led to believe it is.
Can you be gay and not lie, cheat or steal, and without force? Yep. Ok, then, you're moral.
Can you smoke pot and not lie, cheat or steal, and without force? Yep. Ok, then, you're moral.
Can you get naked with another person and bounce around for a few hours under some sheets with a bunch of helium balloons and a pancake spatula without lying, cheating, stealing, and without force? Yep. Ok, then, you're moral, too.
Can you do all those things without infringing on anyone's rights to life, liberty, property and the seeking and obtaining of happiness? Yes. Yes, you can. You can even do all three at once and not break the code of morality.
You've followed the natural law - you're moral.
That's all our founding fathers hoped to achieve - getting people on the same page with some basics. Just don't lie, cheat or steal. Don't force anyone to do anything. Respect people's rights. That's all. The religious stuff was supposed to be on a town level - towns could get all big on rules and mandates and ban abortion and ban alcohol and ban whatever they thought their God wouldn't approve of - and that would lead to a lot of different little towns and cities to choose from. You'd naturally gravitate towards the town that best reflected your own thoughts and sacred beliefs.
You personally, maybe, wouldn't select to live in a town that didn't allow folks to wear banana suits to gay weddings while sipping wine and grabbing four huge stuffed mushrooms to play around with as some cute waiter goes by, and that would be your right - cuz that town couldn't force you to live there. Only anti-banana suit folks and former FDA employees would be living there. So be it, let them live there in peace! A few towns away, you could find your gay wedding allowing banana suit stuffed mushroom utopia. You could go live there -
The only term those 'in charge' understand, at this time, to represent moral principles is: religion and/or God - so my suggestion is to start calling the principles we are all fighting to protect "God", no matter what your religious affiliation is, or even if you haven't a religion - because we're not fighting for a peaceful, sound money, realistic budgets, non-interventionalist nation, with a bunch of folks who understand morality and logic and true compassion using any other word - they only see it as 'God' and/or religion, which is why they have worked so hard to seperate church and state - and why they have attacked Christian and Catholic religion in their media. They have played the agnostics and atheists for their own agendas - stop falling for it, when what you want is a government with those very principles you've been fooled into believing are 'religious' - they aren't!
But we better start referring to them as religious, or spiritual, or God - cuz it's the only way we can win without another bloody revolution.
Those in charge may have gone to the 'best' schools and all, but they don't understand, at all, the lengths mankind will go to in order to protect the principles - and they don't understand, at all, the incredibly huge amount of 'silent witnesses' who sit, waiting for those of us out here to show them the way back to things making sense again. Those in charge are greatly, greatly outnumbered - and greatly out-resourced. And greatly out-principled.
Just do the math on this - it adds up to the principles winning. Every time. Without fail. Maybe there is a God - maybe it's just a scientific force that demands things get back to being sustainable and following universal law. Maybe God just is an easier way of explaining the formula of life - cuz if it isn't 'intelligent design', then it's math or science - and in both math and science, a formula or equation. Still a design, of sorts. Still a set way things have to follow in order to make sense and/or add up. So - call it God. If that's the only term they know, call it that - we bypass a lot of destructiveness if we do that, crazy as it sounds. It's the most logical way, and the least violent.
And get a copy of your state constitution from your secretary of state.
Ramble for last day of November.
