We the People

"We the people are a freedom loving bunch. So much so, that tyranny is scorned. Not only in our country, but wherever in this big beautiful world, people yearn to be free."

We the people. What a beautiful sound that short sentence is. It takes up only three words, and yet says so much. So much about what this country stood for at its founding. Those words are instrumental in our Constitution. In fact, as most of is already know, those three words are VERY large in the beginning of our Constitution. Those words are so important, so vital to some of us, they have them tattooed on their bodies. For most of the rest of us, they are tattooed on our very being.

We the people are a freedom loving bunch. So much so, tyranny is scorned. Scorned not only in our country, but wherever in this big beautiful world, tyranny rules people. People who yearn to be free.

Thomas Jefferson was not shy in disclosing his opinion of tyranny. One of my favorite quotes of Jefferson is as follows - "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." Wow! That is one powerful sentence! And should be timeless. It should be a reminder to all of us, especially, whomever is serving as our President (like, the current one).

233 years ago, on this date in 1787, our Constitution was signed. The founders constructed this document to stand the test of time. Be timeless. Or is it? Some college airheads were recently asked about our Constitution in a "man on the street" setting. They were asked what they thought of our Constitution, and what it stood for. The answers they gave were a shining light on what a bunch of horse dung, our current education system is today. "We need to get rid of it." Or, "It is so outdated, it does not make any sense today." Or my favorite, "It was written by a bunch of old white guys. We need a new one, written by a more diverse group." Yes folks - that is your tax dollars at work. We are not educating future patriots - we are indoctrinating our youth to become future socialists.

Many Democrats, including a recently deceased SCOTUS member, have decried our Constitution as being inadequate. The new "Squad" of socialists, led by AOC, would like it scrapped and replaced with an equity document. They would love to see a document, which is all rainbows and lolly-pops. Where everyone gets a guaranteed income, and instead of working, everyone can sit by a pond and write poetry. What is wrong with that picture? Nothing - if you are one of the mixed up millennials coming out of our government school system.

We the people. Not "me the people", Slo Joe. One of the houses close by, has a large flag pole in the front yard. Everyday, that big beautiful flag is raised, and flies proudly in the breeze. That is until recently. Starting early this summer, the home owner still raises the flag every day. Only now it is upside down. The international distress signal. 

If you love our Constitution, enjoy it now. With the next generation to follow, it might now survive. And if our Constitution does not survive, neither will the republic. Just saying...
