Fundamental Change: Tampering With the U.S. Constitution
By Nick Noel
Tea party organizations and other groups of concerned ordinary citizens have risen to awaken a slumbering American electorate to many of the attacks on our freedom that are currently underway.
More Americans are realizing every day that we made a serious mistake in 2008. We were too complacent in our belief that we could correct any mistake at the polls during the next election; too confident that all we have to do is “vote the bums out next time.” We must do that, of course, along with our other efforts, but the mistakes we elected are working diligently to make their damage permanent, and too little attention is being paid to their potentially most damaging attack on our freedom.
In 2008, we handed our highest office to a man who had told us plainly of his contempt for our country and everything for which it stands. He told us he would “fundamentally transform” America, but few took his words seriously. Many voters assumed that he just wanted to make a few changes. We elected him and gave him all the votes he needed in Congress to “fundamentally transform” our country by destroying our Constitutional rights.
The fundamental difference between the United States and other countries is that “We, the People” control our government, while governments of other countries control their people. The U.S. Constitution safeguards our freedom by limiting the powers of government, and that is what Barack Hussein Obama and his rubber-stamp Congress are fundamentally changing by trashing the limits on government powers.
They have unconstitutionally seized control of private businesses. They have rammed an unconstitutional health care takeover bill down our throats—against the will of the people. They are rushing to complete “banking reform” that will make it easier for government officials to meddle in private businesses and extort bribes. An attempt to list all the ways they have attacked and damaged our freedom would require hundreds of pages.
But the most permanent way this president can hurt the American people is by appointing Supreme Court Justices who will destroy the U.S. Constitution’s ability to safeguard our rights. All of his unconstitutional actions can be made constitutional by erasing limits on the powers of the federal government. He has already installed one activist political ideologue on the Court, and a worse threat to our future is awaiting confirmation by the Senate. Will Sotomayor someday cast the deciding vote to silence free speech or take away our gun rights? Or will that vote be cast by Kagan, or Obama’s next appointee?
It now falls to the people to not only “vote the bums out next time,” but to bring every possible pressure to bear now on every Senator to stop this president from fundamentally changing the U.S. Constitution through his Supreme Court appointments. If stopping his assault on our rights causes fewer than nine justices to serve for now, so be it. The U.S. Supreme Court has survived in the past with fewer than nine members, and can do so again. Our freedom, however, is at risk of not surviving this presidency.

What these Communist justices will end up doing, however unwittingly, is to lower the boom on themselves. I’m reminded of a radio message from the wheelhouse of a Japanese aircraft carrier following the siege on Pearl Harbor: “We have awakened a sleeping giant.” Now…so has Obammie Bin-Lahmmie in the White House and his terrorist cohorts in the high court. Paybacks are hell, ladies and gentlemen. And trust me — they’re coming.

You write:
“a man who had told us plainly of his contempt for our country and everything for which it stands.” Can you give me a single direct quote from President Obama that states this sentiment?

I didn’t think so.

The problem with this sort of diatribe is that it neither advances nor informs the discussion. Mr. Noel covers a lot of territory, from Obama’s “contempt” for the USA to Obama-appointed Supreme Court justices who will “destroy the US Constitution’s ability to safeguard our rights”, while offering nothing substantive to support these assertions. Instead he uses name-calling and globalizing terminology make his points.
As such it becomes nothing more than a short sermon to the choir. To be relevant beyond the choir would require Mr. Noel to be more focussed, less demonizing, and include some agreed-upon facts to support his assertions. Then folks like me might pay more attention to and have more respect for his opinion.

Nothing has changed. Your rights and your living standards will continue to decline no matter who you elect. Work to build alternative institutions to the State. Obama and whomever replaces him (D or R) represent nearly identical interests.
