Constitutionalist

By Tammy Derouin

Our nation dodged a debilitating bullet this past week.  Our Senators came dangerously close to handing over the rights of Americans with disabilities to the United Nations.  Once again, where was the press?  How did such an important vote take place with little to no coverage?    If you live in Michigan, Levin and Stabenow voted against the citizens of the State of Michigan and ultimately the citizens of the United States.  “It’s a waste of time”, my friend Jim Riley stated, “to try and change their minds.”  Levin and Stabenow are career Left-Wing politicians.  The only way we are going to change things is to change the hearts and minds of the people at the local level.  Although I did not find their names on the Progressive Caucus list, Levin and Stabenow are Left Wing ideologues.  Their beliefs are destructive to our nation. 

I was introduced to a new way of describing myself.  When the subject of politics comes up, I’ve found that Conservatives aren’t always willing to come right out and state they’re a Conservative.  Remember the Reagan years?  You said Conservative or Republican with pride.  I did too, until those dark years when the Democratic Party had their meat hooks in me.  I’m so glad I woke up from that nightmare.  Now that I’ve gone back to my roots, I’ve struggled with what to call myself.  I vote Republican because they’re just slightly less progressive than the Democratic Party.  Both parties are corrupt.  Both parties have betrayed the American people. I decided to call myself a Conservative.  It seemed to work.  The word Constitutionalist was brought to my attention this past week.  It had a new and deeper meaning.  It’s the perfect word to describe my view.  I’m a Constitutionalist.  I believe in the Constitution and the limited role of government in our lives.  The checks and balance system, if allowed to work the way it was intended, will scrutinize every bill, every proposal and every action taken by all three branches of government. If changes need to be made, the Constitution provides the way to make such changes.

The United States must get back to its roots. We must restore our nation and our Constitution.  This is a brilliant, well-written, well thought out document and it works.  No other nation in the world has had so many people risk everything including their lives to get here.  Americans are exceptional.  America offers dreamers a place to dream, a place to reach for the stars.  Americans don’t flee to other countries for political asylum, well up until now at least.  There is no other place to go.  If the United States lowers its standards to be “equal” among nations; then Americans have lost their exceptionalism.  America made it to the top because Americans never took no for an answer. 

We the people built this country.  Government didn’t build it.  The American spirit is slowly being extinguished.  History is being re-written.  Our freedoms are disappearing.  The government is getting larger and larger with the ultimate goal of having complete control.  Many of our elected leaders are wolves in sheep’s clothing.  This is how the Fabian Socialists are described in a stain glass painting in the UK.  It was their objective to turn up the heat to mold the world more to their liking.  Remember when Rahm Emanuel said, “Never waste a good crisis.”  Those that want to be in power use a crisis to present a solution.  Those people or groups “stir the pot,” often making a problem where one doesn’t exist.  They wait and wait and when the crisis hits the flash point, they come in with a solution.  In some cases, the people beg for relief.  That’s how Hitler came to power.  He caused a crisis, presented a solution and won an election.  The people were desperate for answers and relief.  Never waste a good crisis.

The Left likes to call anybody who is on to their scheme a conspiracy theorist.  In fact, they are the ones who have been conspiring to take total control of your life. They work covertly.  There is plenty of proof to back up their success. The proof is in the President.  He’s a Constitutional Scholar.  Auto mechanics will teach you how to fix and keep your vehicle working properly.  If you study and apply what you learn, you may even be able to do a full frame-off restoration.  Someone that knowledgeable would know how to dismantle a vehicle effortlessly, one piece at a time.  A wolf in Sheep’s clothing dismantling our Constitution, one piece at a time.

“The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”
