"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."
On September 17, 1787, America as we know it, was born. The pre amble to the Constitution set out the intent of the Founding Fathers in clear and simple terms. I often wonder how they would feel about what is happening in their UNITED States of America today - in 2020.
This 52 word statement starts off with that famous and beautiful phrase
WE THE PEOPLE.
It is referred to by Abraham Lincoln in his famous 1863 Gettysburg Address “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth” .
As I read these famous words I cannot help but think that the Democrats have forgotten something in their lust for power. That they are servants of the People - rather than the People being servants to them.
To even begin to understand the powerful conviction inherent in every American Citizen, one could travel further back in time to the Declaration of Independence when, in 1776, America declared that it had had enough of the control of the British and said
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"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....."
Over and over again, the People of America have not only fought for but also died for their belief in their absolute RIGHTS as WE THE PEOPLE.
I therefore have to question what the hell is going on in Democrat's minds these days?
Where the RIGHTS of " WE, THE PEOPLE " are being overthrown by State and local Body " laws", left wing judiciary that seem to me, as an observer, to be anything but a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The current push by the left wing Democrats to promote abortion ( thus depriving some millions the Right to Life ) - Liberty to those who have murdered, raped and destroyed other people's lives, liberty and happiness - their obsession with Black Lives Matter and Antifa who deny Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness to law abiding Citizens - surely this Governance is Unconstitutional?
Don't get me wrong. This is a global problem. It is not just the left in America who have forgotten their OBLIGATION to be representatives of WE, THE PEOPLE.
Even our own Constitution in Australia, signed in 1901 said in the preamble
" Whereas the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution .... "
I have to wonder where the indissoluble Federal Commonwealth has gone?
Throughout Australia, State Leaders have ignored the Federal Government and have created borders, laws and lockdowns that are draconian and dangerous.
President Trump is, in my opinion, much like George Washington as he took control of the American Revolutionary Forces in `1776.
He is leading his troops, American Patriots, into battle. Because, make no mistake, this is a battle.
The duly elected President is fighting for the very Constitution that so many Americans today have never read and have never been taught.
The Rights of " WE THE PEOPLE ", the RIGHTS of Americans who fought to throw off the shackles of Britain, the RIGHTS of all Americans to live under a Government of the people, by the people, for the people.
As Thomas Jefferson said some time later in relation to the Declaration of Independence :
"Neither aiming at originality of principle or sentiment, nor yet copied from any particular and previous writing, it was intended to be an expression of the American mind, and to give to that expression the proper tone and spirit called for by the occasion."
Has America learned nothing in the past 3 centuries?
Or is it that they have been taught to FORGET where they started and Why they started?
President Trump has been fighting battles since his inauguration. Will this be his final battle that wins the war?
Or will it be the battle that merely signals that the real war is about to begin?
Has this been the preamble to peace or the preamble to the next American Civil War?
In a few short months, we will find out if this America is a Nation of WE THE PEOPLE or WE THE SLAVES.
Much like many of us around the planet right now.
Wars have been fought and lives lost to defend those unalienable to Rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Yet, here we are today, in 2018, ruled by Governments divided and media divided. We are ruled by opinions from tweets, facebook posts and lobby groups that seek to further drive wedges between people, groups of people, communities and families.
In my opinion, the United Nations has no place in America, American Politics, American Ideals or American Culture.Like every Nation on Earth, America is founded on a foundation of Nationalist Pride and Ideology. To deprive a Nation of its Nationhood and Nationalism is to destroy the Nation. which, after all, appears to be the goal of the United Nations.
Any Nation that values its individuality should withdraw from the United Nations and reclaim its right to be independent, free willed, self governing and without shackle to an overlord whose interests do not reflect their own.
When you have fought and fought so hard, surely it is wrong to surrender that for which you have sacrificed so much?
