Most Americans have no fundamental understanding
of our Constitution and the workings of our federalist system. When the U.S. Supreme Court manufactured a
right – gay marriage – by bastardizing the 14th Amendment very few
questioned the legitimacy of their dictum.
Actually, just the opposite happened.
Liberals were elated that five black robed thugs could whimsically
impose their will upon the American people with little regard for the law, or
the democratic process.
When an elected official from the state of Kentucky
was jailed for practicing her Christian faith by denying marriage licenses to
gay couples, the media celebrated. They
rejoiced that a Christian was being punished for exercising her First Amendment
right of freedom of religion. Mind you,
this is an actual right enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, not some crypto-rightist
nonsense promoted by liberals, their media surrogates, and enforced by a
judicial oligarchy.
The above
cartoon was published in the Charlotte Observer. Kevin Siers is their illustrator. He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his work
denigrating the U.S. Constitution, federalism, conservatives and the Christian
faith.
The above cartoon is typical of
the liberal mindset in today’s printed press.
As you can see, Mr. Siers has no understanding of the important role
Christians played in the founding of this great nation. As a matter of fact, he equates the “Jesus
freaks” with the murderous ideology of Islam.
Either this man is stupid, or he’s intentionally insulting over 80% of
the U.S. population who identify themselves as Christians.
What we have is a serious erosion of liberty brought
upon by ignorance and malice. A professor from Princeton summed it up:
The professor said that most of his
students would likely answer that the founders passed the Bill of Rights,
leaving the Supreme Court with the power to enforce those rights.
George contended
that answer was wrong, saying, “That misunderstanding has led to a serious
erosion of our freedom.
Instead, the professor argued that the
Bill of Rights were “hotly debated” because many feared it “would actually
undermine the main protections against tyranny.” According to George, the
Constitution’s call for a “limited nature of the national government” was
itself the chief protection against tyranny.
“The
Constitution did not envision a national government of general jurisdiction …
but rather a government of enumerated and delegated powers. A government that
had authority over only specific areas of American life,” he said, adding that
“all other powers” were reserved to the states or “American people themselves.”
George said that
the Ninth and Tenth Amendments have failed to curtail the growth of the federal
government and that the Supreme Court has failed to keep the other two
legislative and executive branches in check, resulting in a loss of freedom for
the American people.
And no one checks the Supreme Court when
they legislate and create rights from the bench.
