A Contradiction to the Principles of the Constitution.

      What are the values that have united us for 243 years? You don’t have to look much further than the Preamble to our Constitution, just 52 words, to find them: “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” Our forefathers packed a lot into that single sentence. Our Bill of Rights is similarly succinct in guaranteeing individual liberties — rights that we have come to take for granted but without vigilance can erode and slip away, such as freedom of speech, the right that is being eroded away by the Socialist ideal of political correctness.

      The phrase “insure domestic tranquility,” means that we prize unity and peace, not divisiveness and discord. The Progressive Democrats today expound the ideals of Cultural Marxism that it is actually intolerant. To tolerate expression of views that worked against the left’s long march to their supposed utopian future is evil. It is this worldview that gives license to today’s Leftists to intimidate and silence anyone who disagrees with their agenda, all supposedly in the name of tolerance. This is in contradiction to the principles of the Constitution.

      The phrase “promote the general welfare,” means that we care about one another; tolerance, compassion and decency matter but tolerance that is preached today by the Left is only given lip service. If liberals are truly more tolerant than conservatives, how do we explain the common suppression of conservative views at liberal colleges and the widespread fear of even wearing a hat that might trigger anger and violence in liberals? The answer is that liberals have a very different understanding of “tolerance” than conservatives because liberals are working from a radically different worldview. They tolerate only similar views not alternate ones. This is in contradiction to the principles of the Constitution.

     The phrase “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,” means that we have a responsibility to protect not just our own generation, but future ones as well and to continue to ensure the wisdom of our forefathers. This is not what the Progressive Democrats believe. They see humanity itself as progressing, as evolving toward a utopian future in which differences among demographic groups will be eliminated by means of governmental power. This is in contradiction to the principles of the Constitution.

      The Democrats and their allies have spent almost three years attacking a President that calls out their hypocrisy. In turn they wave the Constitution in the air claiming that he is in violation of it’s principals using erroneous interpretations repeated endlessly to support their view. (“A lie told often enough becomes truth" - Vladimir Lenin)

The real truth is disturbing;

• Only 62% of all Democrats agree to live by the rules of the Constitution whether you agree with them or not.

• Only 51% of all Democrats define themselves as “extremely” or “very” patriotic.

• Only 37% of all Democrats say they are “proud to be an American” as an accurate description.

      So 63% of all Democrats are not proud to be an American – they are ashamed. For them, America is and has been a deeply flawed country that can only be fixed under their Progressive Marxist agenda. For the left, patriotism is more about belief in what America might become, not what America is or has been. For Constitutionalists, no country is perfect, but America is unique in having been founded and structured based on a profound understanding of the tendency of power to corrupt. Our understanding of patriotism includes deep respect for the institutions that have recognized and protected the rights of individuals to be free from excessive meddling by those in power. The Left wants that to change, they want to be those in power to be able to legislate a new, post-Constitutional America – A Democratic Socialist Amerika.
