All of those are included in the second part of number four.
Now, we are moving on to the Constitution.
You should try the Federalist Papers sometime, you could spend a lifetime on those (as you could with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution).

The Battle for the 21st Century is all really about our having
...LIBERTY & JUSTICE for all,
...or for none at all.
As President BUSH has US now...
...going back to Earth’s Moon permanently
...and then onto the Planet MARS.
Bringing those still living
...in the 7th Century AD
...here on the Earth
...along for the ride.
.
Well said!
It certainly is.
.
Thank you for your kindess, wagglebee.
We’re all in for quite a ride for the rest of this 21st Century.
And the sooner all American’s see that our very own Freedom is now at stake ..the better it will be for the rest of the world.

You are correct, sir. I do. But I figure the biggies are the D of I and the Constitution. Many conversations I have with them refer back to the Federalist Papers. Working slowly, but surely.
Too bad it ignores how Lincoln destroyed the voluntary compact among the 13 colonies, and turned the "United States" into big counties under the Federal heel.
"Forever" lasted until April 9, 1865.
The problem is that a huge percent of the population DOESN'T CARE and won't until it's too late. And then there is a portion of the population that actually DESIRES the defeat of Freedom.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

You are precisely correct, wagglebee.
30 plus years ago the Gullibility of the American People made it easy for those who were against LIBERTY & JUSTICE for all to get our Congress to cut off all funding for the then Free South
Vietnamese to fight for their own Freedom with.

But with the CLARITY the Internet, Conservative Talk Radio, a 24 hour Cable TV news cycle led by the Fox News Channel bring...
...we now have a fighting chance at prevailing this time around.
Unless those very same people who were successfull here in snuffing out Freedom for South Vietnam long ago...
...retake the reigns of Power in our Oval Office to do the same thing to US here.
.
Let Freedom Ring BUMP!!!
.
Since Political columnist THOMAS SEWELL sees the 2 greastest dangers now facing Americans as being:
1) IRAN with a Nuclear weapon
2) The Gullibility of the American People
...it kinda looks like the 21st Century charge to us Freepers for bringing CLARITY to others has just been very clearly defined..?
.
I am confident that Israel and/or the US will take out Iran’s nuclear capability and that we will defeat Islamofascism.
I am terrified of the effect the duplicity of the left can have due to the huge portion of the population that is so gullible.
