The U.S. Constitution under Attack

Just in the last few weeks more evidence has turned up concerning the disregard for our nation’s Constitution from people either holding high office in our government, former government officials or well-known celebrities. These same people are also the first to hide behind other portions of the Constitution when it suits their purpose. Here are some recent examples:

The President of the United States, Barack Obama and his Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric Holder have shown blatant disregard concerning our country’s immigration laws. This is being carried out by ignoring the deportation of illegal aliens based upon whether they are criminals or not (!). Obama assures us that his administration is going after the illegal aliens engaged in criminal activity while they continue to advocate the DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act. Their means of advocating this act which failed to pass Congress in 2010 is to simply ignore enforcement of our laws when it comes to immigrants illegally in our country who they deem not to be “engaged in criminal activity”. Now I ask you, doesn’t being in our country illegally constitute being “engaged in criminal activity”? In addition, doesn’t this publically declared lack of enforcement amount to a breach of the President’s oath to defend our nation as laid out in the Constitution?

Recently the State of Alabama passed legislation that authorizes police to detain people suspected of being in the country illegally if they cannot produce proper documentation when stopped for any reason. The legislation also requires the state’s schools to determine the legal residency of children attending class. Alabama’s new law was then challenged in U.S. District Court where a Federal Judge (Sharon Lovelace Blackburn) ruled in favor of the state. As a result Obama’s Justice Department filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11^th Circuit, based in Atlanta which also asked Judge Blackburn to put her ruling on hold pending the appeal. Alabama immediately put the new law into effect and suddenly class size dropped as people illegally in our country kept their children home. As a result, the tax paying citizens of Alabama are seeing their tax dollars used as they were intended. Now the President, in direct opposition to his sworn oath, is trying to supersede the will of the people. The Federal Government’s involvement in our children’s education is just one example of it stepping beyond the rules of our Constitution.

The Obama Administration’s former “Green Jobs Czar”, Van Jones recently stated in an interview on MSNBC’s program The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell, “October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back. We are a part of something called the American Dream Movement. We`re having a huge summit on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (going on right now). We are going to build a progressive counterbalance to the Tea Party.”

Jones, an avowed Marxist, predicts “an American fall, an American autumn, just like we saw the Arab spring. You can see it right now with these young people on Wall Street. Hold onto your hats. We`re going to have an October offensive to take back the American Dream and to rescue America`s middle class.” After all the Left’s pointed rhetoric concerning Conservatives’ use of words that may depict military action in describing certain things, Mr. Jones’ comments likening an American liberal call to action as an “offensive” similar to the Arab Spring where civil war broke out in several Arab nations has been conveniently neglected by our “mainstream” media. Last weekend, after Mr. Jones’ call to action, 700 protesters were arrested for stopping traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge while several much smaller demonstrations occurred in a few other cities around the country. Will these demonstrators continue their work as October draws on? Will Van Jones call for an “offensive” lead to more civil disobedience or worse?

North Carolina’s Democratic Governor Bev Perdue made headlines last week by stating to a local Rotary Club that Congress should suspend the 2012 elections in order to work on the economy. Considering the current political climate in our country, what kind of person would make such a thoughtless comment? With people like Van Jones seemingly calling for a revolution, this is the last thing our citizens need to hear… Governor Perdue has been publicly back peddling ever since but this is yet another example of the Left’s mindset as they watch their power being diminished.

Finally, none other than comedienne and actress Roseanne Barr (I know we all hang on every word this person utters) stated while on the scene in support of the Wall Street demonstrations last week, “I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty. I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to the re-education camps and if that doesn't help, then being beheaded.” This from the liberal who at one point in her life spent a year in a mental institution…

And so the liberals, with their political agenda to fundamentally change our country, continue with their assault on our laws.

I personally can’t wait until next November…
