Founders' Daily Quote: 17 Sept 08

"[T]he present Constitution is the standard to which we are to cling. Under its banners, bona fide must we combat our political foes - rejecting all changes but through the channel itself provides for amendments."

--Alexander Hamilton (letter to James Bayard, April 1802); Reference: Selected Writings and Speeches of Alexander Hamilton, Frisch, ed. (511)

Let me see if I understand this correctly. There's that amendment for abortions, campaign finance reform (otherwise known as incumbancy security), lack of free speech for conservatives, animal rights, environmentalism rights, homosexual marriage...oh wait a minute. I just looked in my Constitution and none of those rights have been granted or amended! On the contrary, the judiciary system is being used to forge through any legislature that the people reject.

How do I know the people reject them? Because everytime we have an opportunity to vote on these issues, WE SAY SO. But apparently that does matter, because the American Communist Legal Association (ACLU) comes down on the other side of the law. They are trying to destroy our country from within, and it is our responsibility to have an open resistence against them. After all, is this not what Alex is proposing?

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again.
