The Constitution insures a Constitutional government

Here is apt instruction and warning from Chuck Norris for those running our government. It might be something that government officials might want to consider before they continue to attempt to do end runs around the constitution that they are swore to uphold. We have a constitutional right to not endure despots.

Has the U.S. constitutionally run amuck?

We have reached a critical juncture in the life of our country. And it is going to take we, the people, to hold our governing officials accountable. That is what our founders expected and admonished. As Patrick Henry said, “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”

If the law restrains us and the government holds us accountable to it, then the Constitution restrains them, and we hold them accountable to it. It is a patriot’s duty to uphold and support the Constitution, and confront those who disobey it. After all, it is “our” government. From “our” public schools to “our” capital, if even several thousand of us get more active and vocal about that constitutional accountability, then we can begin to take back our government.

We must remind every governing official that, either they conform and serve in accordance with constitutional patterns or we, the people, will be left with no other alternative but to submit to our founders’ initial prescription to remedy bad government. Such a cure is located in the Declaration of Independence, a bit of wisdom that sends shivers up my spine every time I read it. In the case that government reaches the tragic point when it is no longer the guardian of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it admonishes

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. … But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
