About our Constitution, and Bill of Rights

Given our history, I am having a very difficult time understanding why our government "of the people, by the people, for the people" has evolved into anything but. This President and his administration are running rough shod over the Constitution, and we the people are suffering the consequences. Do we have any immediate recourse for these irresponsible acts that violate our rights? I think not, unless something drastic happens like congress gets some gonads and calls this President out and holds him accountable for his acts of tyranny.

Lets go back to the incipient stages and birth of our country. We won our independence from Great Britain in1781. The document that was instrumental in gaining our independence was the Declaration of Independence. There are powerful brave words in this historic document. in part they say................"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness....That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. 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 power in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable , than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpation's, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce the under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security............"

Then came an attempt at a first Constitution called the Articles of Confederation, which were short lived and was far from being a " perfect union", in essence it was a "League of Friendship" among States. The Articles of Confederation being an abject failure, a group of citizens called for a Constitutional Convention, and one was formed and meetings began in May 1781 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, among the leaders were George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison. On September 17th 1781 the Constitution was put into final form and signed by 55 brave Founding Fathers. In 1791 the Bill of Rights was added (the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution). The Bill of Rights was added to protect the people from an intrusive, and oppressive omnipotent government. These guaranteed rights are explicit in their meaning.

Contrary to what most Liberals would have you believe, the United States Constitution is not a "living document" it is the cornerstone of the foundation that this great country was built on. Over the years it has been under attack for the most part by liberals that are driven by their desire for power over the people, and denying us our rights by insinuating themselves into every facet of our lives.

This President sees fit to insinuate the Executive Branch of Government into Auto Industry, the Insurance Industry, and our Financial system. He has the "Audacity" to fire the CEO of General Motors. This pure tyranny. There are numerous instances where he tramples the Constitution.

How sad that Mr. Obama has forgotten these 55 words that he swore too on the Lincoln Bible:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

May God Bless America! Lets get busy and take Congress back next election cycle.
