Well, the petal is coming off the rose.  The federal government is delivering the sweet kiss of death to freedom as this column is written.  Fortunately, there are thousands around the country who are trying to force the government to wipe off the lipstick.  This number will only grow.

Tea party’s, from across the country were held in State Capitals, Senate Offices and Washington DC in an effort to demonstrate to the Congress and the White House that people are sick and tired of being pushed around.  They are weary of playing by the rules and being asked to do more for those who don’t.  People are angry and the passion is palpable.

Demonstrating the bipartisan nature of the fight, one speaker at the Washington DC party who could only be identified as a republican operative received the least amount of support when she attempted to point peoples passion towards electing republicans in 2010.  Clearly, she had missed the point of the protest.

In fact, most in attendance refused to make the protest a republican/democrat fight, instead, they opted for a liberal/conservative tussle, freedom/oppression.  There were shared views that the republicans had offered the same rose to the voters as the democrats and most we’re tired of the only pick being to “pick your pain.”

What was a critical component of the demonstration was a deep desire to get back to the Constitution for all seemed to understand there was safety in that document.  The government as evidenced by President Obama’s budget including a nice 1.75 TRILLION deficit for our children and grand children to pay off is out of control.  Where is the honor in that.

Folks, as evidenced by Glenn Becks “We Surround Them” kick-off event last Friday, along with the tea parties, people aren’t just going to sit back this go around.  FDR played class warfare in the 1930’s and got away with it and the government has been a malignancy on freedom ever since.  This time, we have a voice and can organize and assemble under our First Amendment rights and push back.  We got rolled by the “progressives” in the 30’s, it won’t happen this time.

Real Change, Restore America

Have you noticed an absence of phrases like “as the Founders wrote” or “as we’re directed by the Constitution” from politicians these days.  Hmmmm, I wonder why?  Could it be that they no longer recognize the Constitution as authoritative?  Is it possible they’ve strayed so far from the principles of the Republic that they no longer submit themselves to the authority of the Founders writings?  I think so.  Their silence is deafening.

We’re living in surreal times, times where the “living” constitution has supplanted the real Constitution and it’s going to take some heavy lifting to get back on course, if that’s even possible.  The 9th and 10th Amendments have been all but  obliterated.

What can you do?

1. READ the Constitution.  Learn it, know it.
2. READ the Declaration of Independence.  Learn why the Founders declared independence from ole’ King George.
3. Read the 5000 year leap.

Be prepared to stand for what the Founders intended us to be, a small centralized government the protected our liberties, life and the pursuit of happiness.  It’s getting very close to a time where people are going to have had enough and you’re already beginning to see signs of the at the tea parties across the country.  This movement is just at it’s very beginning stages, much more will come.

Become good citizens again, learn what the Founders understood to be our unalienable rights from our Creator, not privileges granted by a government.
