Folks it is time for me to talk about common sense. A talk maybe the citizens should have had about 100 years ago with our politicians. Amendment I 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. We have freedom of speech and religion, the freedom to gather and the right to petition the government when we disagree with it. So how long before we all admit that these rights are under attack and we try something different for politicians? Amendment II A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Folks Connecticut today has issued a letter telling gun owners they must destroy their weapons or make arrangements to hand them over. What happened to the right of the people? Or shall not be infringed? Doesn’t the administration know how to read? Amendment III No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. Now this one is interesting because I am not sure if anyone ever thought an administration would ever find a way to break this and yet, Florida police kick a woman out of her house so they can arrest the people next door. While performing this task which took hours the police quartered inside her house. Haven’t they broken this amendment? Who is training our police these days? The Gestapo maybe? Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Now How far do I need to go here to say the government has walked all over the 4th amendment? Who feels safe anymore? The NSA is looking into our homes, phones and businesses and saving all our media (pretty sure I just made a watch list). To search anything a warrant is supposed to be issued, got news executive branch the Patriot Act is illegal. What cannot be done in the light should not be done by a moral people. Yes I know there are evil people out there but how badly do we want to join them? Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. Ok everybody in the government this is not a license to avoid all the other rules here it is in place to make you work harder to do wrong to the people not the other way around. I have heard the number 5 now in almost every senate hearing and it is always from someone representing the President. | Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense. Also to be informed of the nature of the cause of the accusation, really Gitmo anyone? To be confronted by witnesses, how about FISA courts. Do I really need to go any further it will all look the same? All I have to say is how long before the government starts using the Patriot Act on citizens who they disagree with? Do you think you will want the secrecy then? I could add gag orders to cases which do not have a risk of loss of life such as the Pelltier case in Boston. How do you think a family completely destroyed financially by the system because a Dr. doesn’t like to be questioned or second Opinions, think about the constitution now? Do they have any reason to believe that the government is acting in their best interest? Since when did it become necessary to tell a man to stop talking to the press so the government will be comfortable? Mr. President what happened to transparency? Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Well Mr. President, isn’t this how you see your job. I will write an executive order and I will ignore the rights of everyone else to get my way. Why because I know better. Any of the listed grievances above will do here to say that the Administration is lawless in nature but should I bring up that a Maryland Police officer recently had this exchange; “I thought I had freedom of speech here,” he replies. “You don’t! You just lost it,” the cop barks. “Walk away and keep your mouth shut.” Isn’t this a blatant breach of the 9th amendment, using police powers to deny rights to a citizen? Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. This is my favorite amendment; in it, it basically tells the Federal government if you haven’t been told this is your job then it belongs to the state. Well I could bring up Abortion, Education (Common Core), regulating everything and everyone but my favorite issue here is the simple belief that the government has the right to tell anyone that they should not have all the money they earn and give it to others which they do through taxes, Income taxes, sin taxes, inheritance taxes and many others that redistribute wealth. Really is that the American Dream? Please Americans, I do not care what party you are in or if you are liberal or conservative, please understand once these rights are gone we will never get them back. We must act with common sense and remember it is ok to disagree. If a business doesn’t want to serve you just go to another who will and tell people not to shop there. We need less government in our lives, fewer taxes for idiotic programs and less controversy with our executive branch. Protect the constitution, please do not disregard it. |
