We have a constitutional crisis in this country. This crisis isn't being precipitated by any one party or any one ideology--all across the board, politicians of all stripes are implementing rules, regulations, agencies, and laws that clearly go against every fundamental principle of our constitutional republic. Have these entrenched politicians NEVER picked up a copy of the Constitution and read it? Have they no idea HOW this republic is supposed to work?
Or are they on such a mad, power-hungry high to grab complete control of our lives that they just don't care anymore?
I think they're power-hungry crazy. I think they have lost every last bit of common sense and control. I think they operate without a shred of decency or concern for the Constitution.
And I think that if we as the "people" don't stand up and fight back, we're doomed.
Introducing Senate Bill 3081
Senate Bill 3081 is called the Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010. It was introduced by Senator John McCain, but he acted in behalf of Senators Lieberman, Inhofe, Brown, Wicker, Chambliss, LeMieux, Sessions, and Vitter, all who co-sponsored the bill.
First let's note two things right off the bat.
One - Senator John McCain is a Republican. Yes, he's a "republican in name only" (RINO) as far as many people are concerned, but he wears the label of the Republican party, has the full-court approval of the Republican party, and has run for president on that same ticket. He is a senior member in the Senate, with many years under his belt.
Two - this bill was introduced March 2010. March 2010. Have you heard about it at all? Has there been an outcry over this bill in any media outlet? Do common every day Americans who are busy working and trying to survive, who don't have time to peruse and glean information from various Internet news sites and blog spots even know that such a bill is before Congress?
A Google search turned up no news stories on this bill at all. I try to keep abreast of what's going on, yet here it is FIFTEEN MONTHS after this bill's introduction and this is the first I've heard of it.
The horrible consequences if this bill makes it into law are astonishing. I'm not being overly emotional or incendiary when I say that this gives Gestapo-like powers to the federal government in its day-to-day interactions with the American citizenry.
Will YOU be labeled an "enemy combatant"?
Don't laugh. Janet Napolitano and her security council have classified what many would call "core" Americans as potential terrorists.
- Do you believe in a right to life? Then you're suspect...
- Are you an American soldier returning from war? Oh gosh, we better get surveillance on you...
- Do you sport a Ron Paul bumper sticker on your car? Maybe you should be detained...
- Do you believe in the Constitution and have a copy of it? Well, you're the biggest threat of all...
Senate Bill 3081 from the 111th Congress would allow the U.S. military to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens that were considered a terrorist threat, "without being charged with a crime, without being read a Miranda warning, without trial, without access to their 5th and 6th Amendment rights and without their rights under Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution based on suspected activity." (RedState.com)
And who gets to determine the definition of a "potential terrorist threat"? Why the executive branch of our government - the president and his security advisors.
Are you feeling all warm and fuzzy yet?
What lunatic in Congress would grant the president such wide-sweeping, unconstitutional authority? That supposedly "conservative" senators are co-sponsoring this bill is unconscionable! Perhaps it's time that we introduce the precise wording of the Constitution to our senators and congressmen since it's obvious they have NO idea what's in there! (Or they could just be like one Illinois congressman who just doesn't "worry about the Constitution.")
We are NOT a democracy. We do not govern by majority vote. We are a Republic with a government based upon rule of law. That law is enshrined in the Constitution. However, we can hardly hold our representatives' and senators' feet to the fire and to the letter of that document if we don't even know what's in it ourselves.
How Familiar Are You With the Founders' Plan?
Let's face it...our country is in trouble. And ignorance and apathy play a large part in where we find ourselves today. Our public schools no longer teach civics or the responsibility of the citizens to get involved in this great experiment called the United States of America. Our school boards would rather allow LaRaza leftist revolutionary ideology to be taught to 3rd graders (such as the most recent charge brought before the Tucson area school board by a concerned mother), than to teach them what our Founders envisioned for this country, the political system that they set up, the checks and balances that are inherent in that system, and their responsibility to this country and her government.
If you're like me, you know that all the greedy power-grabs our politicians are engaged in are unconstitutional. You're just unsure of arguing your position because you can't cite historical facts, so you remain quiet.
And the power grabs continue and ramp up in intensity.
You don't have to remain uncertain any longer. Solutions From Science has the perfect product for you, one that will give you the knowledge to fight the leftist, dictatorship-style ideology of both Republicans and Democrats. It's called The Founders' Plan.
In this wonderful set you'll receive John Eidsmoe's Christianity and the Law of the Land, a lecture series on six CDs. This set will introduce you not just to the Constitution, but to the biblical concepts that undergirded its creation. This CD set allows you to listen as you drive to and from to work, to the grocery store, or sitting in the living room drinking a cup of coffee. Eidsmoe is a professor of law at the Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, holder of five degrees in law, theology, and political science, and a frequent guest on Off the Grid Radio.
The Founders' Plan will give you a deeper understanding and knowledge of the Constitution than you've ever had before. In addition, you'll receive the free bonus CD of R. J. Rushdoony's The Constitution of the United States. This CD expands on the Judeo-Christian foundations of our country, and explains why this biblical foundation must be maintained in order to hold back the tide of socialism that is enveloping our nation at a faster and faster rate.
Don't sit around watching as your congressmen and senators dismantle this nation one bill, one resolution, one agency, and one law at a time. Become informed. Understand the Constitution and our Founders' principles that went behind it's creation inside and out. Educate your children and friends.
And begin participating in our "citizen" government!
