  • Wisdom of the American Founders

    A careful analysis of U.S. history reveals that virtually every serious problem now confronting American society can be traced to a departure from the sound principles taught by these great statesmen. ---Jay A. Parry, National Center for Constitutional Studies

  • Remember Who You Are!

    I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. --Psalm 82:6

  • CANNOT HALF-HEARTEDLY SUPPORT CONSTITUTION

    I am not partly for the Constitution, and partly against it; I am wholly for it. I disdain the character of an uncommitted man. I am committed, fully committed to the constitution. And i am committed against everything which, in my judgment, may weaken, endanger, or destroy it. And especially against all extension of executive power; and any attempt to rule the free people of this country by the power and the patronage of the government itself. --- Daniel Webster

  • Liberty Requires Property

    The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist. ---John Adams

  • First Duty of Citizens

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens, and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. ---James Madison

  • To Whom Does Freedom Belong?

    God grants freedom only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it. --- Daniel Webster

Constitution Day

Posted on September 17, 2008 by selfevident1

Eleven score and one year ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty.

Now we are engaged in a great war of ideas, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

We gather on the great battle fields of this war: on the home front, in our work places, and recreation, in the hearts and minds of every individual. Many have died in defense of its freedoms. Many freedoms have died and the souls of many walking dead wander about without principle. But we, the living, must fight on to preserve this great vestige of that founding generation, always remembering and planting into our hearts the principles of Liberty and Prosperity upon which this nation is founded, that this nation, under God, shall have new life, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

(portions adapted from the Gettysburg Address)
