As the madness of Democrat leftists wreaks ever greater havoc on our Nation, it is important for us to realize that fixing the problem requires determining the root cause. Otherwise, our efforts to confront it are akin to attempting to cure cancer by only removing the most recently discovered tumor. To date, we have attempted to deal with the symptoms, which at best means “damage control” whenever we can achieve majority status. And given how much worse the corruption in the “system” has grown, along with the willingness of the leftist Fake News crowd to shamelessly lie about it, attempting to fix the latest outrages becomes ever more difficult.
While it is abundantly true to every Patriot with a basic understanding of America that our Nation is not a “democracy” but a Representative Republic, the goal of the founders was to structure government in a manner that was ultimately answerable not to a “ruling class,” but to the people. This approach to law and justice was a drastic departure from anything that had preceded it. And the result was a Nation that grew and flourished far above any other power on earth, achieving that status in a surprisingly short period of time.

Nevertheless, the Founders foresaw a major, potentially fatal pitfall that, if left unchecked, could spell doom for the American Experiment. John Adams warned of it in his one of his most famous quotes “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” In essence, he was saying the government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” would falter and ultimately fail if basic moral principles of right and wrong were not upheld. Such a condition would require cultural cohesion, which underscored the Judeo-Christian principles on which the Founders forged our great Country.
Abraham Lincoln saw the potential for an insurmountable rift in the Nation over the defining issue of human slavery. It was with that understanding that he referenced the Gospel of Luke with his admonition that “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Lincoln understood that slavery reflected a moral chasm between those who condemned it as evil and those who accepted it out of tradition and pragmatism. Though the freedom of enslaved Americans was essential in the direct sense to the founding precepts of liberty and justice, it was also a physical impossibility for The Nation to go forward with such a vast divide of ideology.
Those same principles of basic right and wrong threaten to create a fault line in our midst that cannot be bridged by any effort short of brute force. What we’ve seen in our elections, long before we reached the current state of vast corruption and manipulation, is a cycle of intermittent dominance by one party over the other, at least to the degree that sincere Conservatives in office have mustered the will to oppose the status quo. Then, in the next election cycle, the opposition gains dominance, and the entire direction of the Country is reversed.
In former times, the major political parties may have had their differences in regards to the specifics of how best to advance the interests of the American people, but not since the Civil War has there been any question as to whom they were ultimately loyal. That all began to fail with the institutionalized moral debasement of humanity in “Roe vs. Wade,” and although Ronald Reagan sought to repair the breach, he had limited power to do so.
At the same time, the traditional family, which had been the “firewall” against cultural debasement, was in the crosshairs of the left. For that attack to succeed, “traditional” (Judeo-Christian) values of right and wrong had to be undermined and supplanted with the perversions of the counterculture. Basic precepts of the American ideal were denigrated and marginalized under the guise of “multiculturalism.” Even the Church has been fractured and infiltrated with concepts that are diametrically opposed to any principle on which it was established, to the point that many denominations are now openly hostile to the precepts of Scripture.
By the time Bill Clinton took office, the notion of a cohesive American culture was being systematically dismembered by the Democrat machine. And its attacks on the fabric of America went into overdrive under the treasonous administration of Barack Obama. In a rare moment of candor, Obama promised to “fundamentally transform” the Nation. The havoc, suffering, deprivations, and trampling of basic rights ever since are a direct consequence of his agenda. Yes! He “built that.”
Nevertheless, such overt enemies of everything worthy and decent in this country could not have ever achieved high office, with their transparent condescension and contempt, had its moral and ideological guardrails not first been thoroughly decimated. The cultural attacks on America, which began in earnest in the 1960s, are bearing their toxic fruit on a scale that was previously unseen. And it is all absolutely intentional.
The notion of a National agenda with any consistency arising among such disparate ideologies, some of which are malignant and violent, is beyond reason. The erratic and chaotic redirection which ensues every few years is destroying not only the integrity of domestic life and business it is rendering foreign policy to be an absolute nightmare. The American commitment to allies has lost all trust and credibility, with Afghanistan being the most glaring example. How can other nations have any trust in a regime whose direction can veer from freedom and justice to Marxism and Globalism virtually overnight in the aftermath of the latest stolen election?
President Trump has spotlighted some major areas where defining changes need to be made if we are to have any hope of resuscitating this Nation. He flatly asserts that it is critical for election integrity to be restored. Otherwise, the outcome of every ensuing political contest will inevitably be determined by whichever candidate has the most corrupt political apparatus at his disposal. And we all know which party fits that mold. Furthermore, the entire “education” system must be thoroughly overhauled. The total implosion and abandonment of real academics in government schools, despite a vast cost to taxpayers, is eclipsed by the degree of perverse indoctrination and propaganda being inflicted on young people in its place.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for her candor, suggests a “national divorce.” That is the essence of the “house divided” against which Lincoln warned with grim assurance. Given that leftist regions could not then sustain an infrastructure of basic commodities and sustenance without leeching off of those who plant the crops, build the bridges, and fight the wars, this course would quickly lead to violence and bloodshed.
The only possibility of real “common ground” to be found by Americans is if we re-establish our guiding principles as Americans!

The problem goes deeper, it goes to powerful forces, greed, fear of exposure, fear of physical threats… Our Judges, our. AG’s, our Congress, even our President of the United States is facing one or more of these coercive forces, and it’s highjacked the USA. IMO.
The missing component is that Americans don’t know Article IV Section 4 was breached in the very beginning by our founders.
Not one State ever implemented a Republican form of government into their State Constitution. If done these changes everything for us getting back what is owed to us,
Let us begin with what is true: Our Declaration of Independence says our Rights come from God. Our rights thus pre-date & pre-exist the U.S. Constitution. The Declaration of Independence says:
We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident, That All Men Are Created Equal, That They Are Endowed By Their Creator With Certain Unalienable Rights, That Among These Are Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness.–That To Secure These Rights, Governments Are Instituted Among Men, Deriving Their Just Powers From The Consent Of The Governed…
So these, then, are the foundational principles of our Constitutional Republic to be incorporated in each and every State Constitution:
Our Rights are unalienable and come from God;
The purpose of civil government is to protect our God-given Rights;
Civil government is legitimate only when it operates with our consent; &
Since the US Constitution is the formal expression of the Will of the People, the federal government operates with our consent only when it obeys the Constitution.
Because the Declaration of Independence identifies The Creator as Grantor of Rights, we look to The Bible – or the Natural Law – to see what those rights are. The Bible – or the Natural Law – reveals many rights, such as the rights to Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness; to inherit, earn, and keep property; the right of self-defense; the right and duty to demand that the civil authorities obey the Law; the right to speak; the right to live our lives free from interference from civil government; the rights of parents to raise their children free from interference from civil government; the right to worship God; etc.
The distinguishing characteristics of all God-given or Natural Rights 1 are:
· Each one may be held and enjoyed at NO expense or loss to any other person; and
· We can look them up for ourselves! They are not subject to someone else’s interpretations.
It’s true, President John Adams wrote that: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
This is an accurate quotation. However, it’s often employed by Christians as if Adams was referring to Christianity and Yahweh’s morality as codified in His commandments, statutes, and judgments. This is untrue. Adams emphasized that the same “moral liberty resides in Hindoos and Mohametans, as well as in Christians” (John Adams, Letter no. 13 to John Taylor (1814), in “Works of John Adams,” 6:474.)
He once asked, “Where is to be found theology more orthodox or phylosophy [sic] more profound than in the introduction to the [Hindu] Shast[r]a?” (John Adams, December 25, 1813, letter to Jefferson, in “Adams-Jefferson Letters,” 2:412.)
Any nation’s constitution and government benefits from moral Christian citizens, even those nations whose constitution are not based upon Yahweh’s morality as found in His perfect law and altogether righteous judgments (Psalm 19:7-9) – such as the United States of America. However, when such constitutions are not based upon Yahweh’s law, it is inevitable that such nations will become more and more immoral and corrupt, being they do not have a biblical standard to fall back upon. Case in point, the United States of America, aka the biblically egregious Constitutional Republic, born of the biblically seditious Constitution.

People don’t read the Constitution or understand the Declaration of Independance.
Many conservatives mistakenly believe that our rights come from the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution. So, they speak of “our constitutional rights,” “the bill of rights,” our “First Amendment right to free speech”; “our Second Amendment right to bear arms,” and so forth. But it is a dreadful mistake to think that our rights come from the Constitution. I’ll show you two reasons why this is such a pernicious error:
a) It is logically incoherent to say that our Rights come from the Constitution: Let us read the Preamble to the US Constitution:
WE THE PEOPLE Of The United States, In Order To Form A More Perfect Union, Establish Justice, Insure Domestic Tranquility, Provide For The Common Defense, Promote The General Welfare, And Secure The Blessings Of Liberty To Ourselves And Our Posterity, Do Ordain And Establish This Constitution For The United States Of America.
WE THE PEOPLE established and ordained the Constitution. WE are the ones who created the federal government with its three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. WE are the ones who gave the federal government permission to exist and told it exactly what it had permission to do, when WE assigned enumerated powers to each branch.
WE are the “creator” – the federal government is merely our “creature”. (Federalist No. 33 (6th para), A. Hamilton.)
So! The Constitution is about the Powers which WE THE PEOPLE delegated to the federal government. The Constitution is NOT about Our Rights, which come from God and thus pre-date & pre-exist the Constitution!
b) Now look at Article III, Sec. 2, clause 1, U.S. Judicial Power Shall Extend To All Cases…Arising Under This Constitution.”
Think carefully, for this is the hook: If our rights come from the first Ten Amendments or elsewhere in the Constitution, then they “arise under the Constitution”; and that clause is what gives federal judges power over our rights!
When judges have power to determine our Rights, our Rights are no longer unalienable – we hold them at the pleasure of five judges on the Supreme Court. But because so many of us, for so long, have believed and said that our rights come from the “bill of rights,” those judges have seized on Art. III, Sec. 2, clause 1, to claim the power to determine the scope & extent of our rights!
So! Federal judges claim the power to regulate our political speech and religious speech. They claim the power to determine & regulate our property rights in the fruits of our own labors. They claim the power to control our retirements by forcing us to participate in social security! They even claim the power to take Life away from unborn babies.
Thus, when we say our Rights come from the Constitution, we are, in effect, agreeing to the submission of our Rights to the tender mercies of federal judges, because Art. III, Sec. 2, clause 1, gives them power over all cases “arising under the Constitution.”
Remember, America was founded primarily by Master Masons, illuminati and English Esquires. they even left their symbols all over Washington DC, on our money and depicted George Washington as a god figure on the ceiling of the Rotunda.
Right side up or upside down, that flag (known as Old Glory and the Stars and Stripes) does not represent America. It represent the United States of America.
That’s right – America and the United States of America are NOT the same thing! Not even close.
In fact, early 1600’s Puritan America whose governments of, by, and for God were established upon the Bible’s immutable/unchanging moral law was sacrificed on the altar of the late 1700s Enlightenment United States of America whose humanistic government of, by, and for the people was established upon capricious man-made traditions (aka the biblically seditious Constitution).
The latter is also known as the Grand Experiment in Self Government. Self-government!?! Gee, what could go wrong? Everything, just open your eyes and look around you. Everything gone wrong in America nationally is the consequence of this monumental case of biblical sedition committed by the 1787 cadre of Enlightenment and Masonic theistic rationalists.
Thus, ours is not to save the United States of America but, Lord willing, to restore America.
