>>Before I get smacked by my FReeper friends here let me set the record straight. The rights endowed by our creator have nothing to do with the general welfare clause. The libs have hijacked the term and spun it on its head. There are no “Rights” except as those Congress cannot touch. The left has perverted all of it. I was trying to show the difference.<<
Anyone who jumps on you should take Constitution 099. The Preamble establishes the milieu under which the USC was created. It establishes the desired target in broad terms — the end goal.
The USC (and BOR) is the mechanism the framers created to achieve those ends. The Left (as you point out) has taken the welfare clause of the preamble to be part and parcel of the USC itself.
The USC is the specific contract between the USA and her citizens. It promises that Government will only do those things that have been enabled through the constructs provided within the framework.
All that was thrown in the trash yesterday. I pray that those who visited such vile evil upon our contract will be met with equal evil on them and their houses.
I suspect those of us who love liberty may have to defend it with more than words soon.
It will be met. I pray for my God-Fearing friends to understand the assault. Amen for your affirmation.
