On September 17, 1787 the delegates of the Constitutional Convention being held in Philadelphia signed the document that brought into existence the United States of America. Up to that point we were not united in anything except for a desire to be free from English rule, and that was tenuous at its best.
This document was like non other in existence from the beginning of recorded time. It created unity where non existed. It limited government and provided power to the people. Indeed although penned by men, it was heaven inspired. The document itself was designed to withstand the test of time by building within itself the method and manner in which it could and would be amended. A few years after its ratification by the various States of the Union a Bill of Rights was added to identify those rights which are inseparable to life itself. Rights identified by members of Congress to be God-given and immutable.
A hotly debated topic during the Convention, and one that threatened the very success of this delegation was that of slavery. Many delegates were adamant that slavery must be outlawed in the newly formed republic. The debate became intense with the southern states opposing any document outlawing African slavery. While the northern states were just as adamant about accepting any document legalizing the enslavement of human beings. The more centrists within the delegation knew that there must be a compromise between the two factions or all would be lost, and the republic would not succeed.
These centrists felt it more prudent to compromise at the present time with the full understanding that a later date the subject would be picked back up with a more favorable outcome for the outlawing of human servitude. We all know the story, the delegates were able to reach a suitable compromise for all parties and the convention was a roaring success. The results of that convocation of the best minds in America was the formation of a Nation.
Since its inception, the United States of America has been under attack by those who would change and or eliminate The Constitution of the United States. Whether those attacks have come from outside sources or from within, they have been unceasing.
For the most part we have withstood all these varied attacks. We've had some moments of what can be deemed "Constitutional Crisis", but these have been resolved and we have moved on as a Nation of laws organized under The Constitution. This has served us well and we have seen the remarkable foresight of the forefathers in the organization of that unique document.
Most recently we have experienced a time like none other in the history of this Nation. The chaos that has engulfed our large cities throughout the entire country has been widespread and deep rooted. Rooted in what I consider to be falsehoods. It has crippled local economies and turned once thriving metropolises into urban blight. Lawlessness abounds and law abiding citizens are relegated to the back of the proverbial bus while politicians utilize the chaos to further political agendas.
Recently the Constitution was deemed a deeply racist document by the Biden administration. They declared that the wording found within the document is hurtful and outdated. They have all but unilaterally suspended the Constitution as the law of the land. The government repeatedly ignores the Constitution and workarounds are sought for, researched and created for everything.
America lasted 234 years. We are on life support, and we are coughing our last painful breaths as we slip away into oblivion. I don't recognize my country anymore. I still love it, and I honor the Constitution, and though wicked and idolatrous men and women seek to destroy the liberty and freedom of this people I will "not go gently into that....night".
This Nation can be saved if good men and women stand tall and defend freedom. Let your voice be heard. Remain silent no longer, but raise the warning voice for all to hear. Take back that which is yours, namely the power of the United States. For the power lies with "We the People of the United States", and not in the halls of government. They are but servants to the people and not the people to them. If we do this we will retain our rights as a people and once again be a Nation United.
