Our Enduring Constitution
This grand experiment in self-governance only works with an informed, educated, and engaged electorate. We can all agree that the problems we face in America are due to our own ignorance and apathy.
EXCERPT:
If I had my druthers, I would make it necessary for members of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches to quote the Constitutional authority for any and all actions and decisions that they make. That would also be down to the state level, and even at the municipal level, they should abide by their respective city charters. Unfortunately, we are at a point in America where most “politicians” are just making stuff up based on ideological agendas. And we draw ourselves into respective camps not based upon our fundamental principles, but rather insidious dogma—man-made insanity. America needs statesmen and stateswomen who can articulate our rule of law and how their actions and decisions relate to such. The main difference between the two is that politicians will tell you what they think you want to hear; Statesmen tell you what you need to hear.
Yep, I voted for Donald Trump three times. I did so not because of a personality, but rather constitutional principles, and his being most closely aligned to those principles. Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, Judges will come and go . . . we may need to reassess that lifetime judicial appointment thing. However, our US Constitution is enduring; it has stood the test of time and has been amended to correct that which the Founding Fathers did not address logically. We do indeed strive to be a more perfect Union, the words from the Preamble of the Constitution.
John Adams, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other,". We are trying to serve God and Mamman, impossible, John Adams knew it to be true.
I think the experiment of multiculturalism has gotten us in a pickle in a mighty big way. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and we have paved a mighty broad road, indeed.
We either follow the laws and precepts of the Constitution, or brace ourselves for abject failure.

On target. If I remember right, you carry a Pocket Constution. I have downloaded on my phone the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Federalist Papers, and US Constitution w/Amendments.
I reference and teach from these sacred documents often.

Never Forget.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
