We Should Fight First for the Bill of Rights

Who wants to fight for empire abroad when freedom is under attack right here at home?

Would you be willing to fight and die for multiculturalism? Would you put your life on the line for “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity” (DIE); “Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance” (ESG); or other Marxist worldviews? Would you go to war to preserve the right of delusional men to use women’s restrooms and dominate women’s sports? Would you fight for any government that hunts down and imprisons J6 protesters as political hostages but celebrates Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters who cause physical injury and property damage?

I sure as hell wouldn’t. I will not fight for institutionalized racism, corporate Marxism, viewpoint discrimination, or the profits of multinational investment houses. I will not fight for people who wish to erase the First and Second Amendments while paying lip service to what’s left of the Bill of Rights. I will not fight for the Federal Reserve’s continued manipulation of the dollar or BlackRock’s control over foreign policy. I will not fight for a government that is guilty of murder, rape, drug-trafficking, and other violent crimes because the Department of Homeland Security refuses to enforce our sovereign borders. I will not fight for the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the United Nations, or any other international body that seeks global control over local communities. I will not fight for a D.C. Deep State that calls me a “domestic extremist” or “terrorist” because I believe in freedom, family values, and God. I will not fight for a gaggle of worthless Pentagon politicos who think “patriotism,” “duty,” and “honor” are all dirty words. I will not fight for people who wish to destroy my country.

From the looks of it, I am far from alone....

Identify those individuals who are against the Bill of Rights.

Whatever happens in America it has a proud history that will always be the real example of how things should be done. For those that want to transform America it is that history which must be destroyed or rewritten. The first mistake was making schools a state responsibility. Now that the enemies of America are in charge . schools are where the rewriting of history is at its worst.

Seperation of School and State is an idea whose time come.

If you want to read about the Bill of Rights, probably one of the best starting points is Origins of the Bill of Rights by Leonard W. Levy. I am into that sort of thing and reading it a third time.

“Identify those individuals who are against the Bill of Rights.“ Easy… - our elected government officials.

Even more so ... our appointed government officials and civil servants.

Want to find a domestic enemy of the Bill of Rights? Go stand outside your local police station, watch 'em come and go.

Identify those individuals who are against the Bill of Rights.

I'd say most demonrats and at least one SC Justice.

Thanks. I’ll check that out.

Good post.

The unelected federal judiciary is tops on my list for those who oppose the Bill of Rights. The judiciary often declares that an individual's constitutional rights must be "balanced" (meaning trumped) by any interest of the state. Even when the individual is determined to have a right, a government official may claim "immunity" from civil damages for violating individual rights from these judges. Then factor in court rulings limiting the time to file claims, and constitutional rights can shrivel up to so many empty words. Remember that the Bill of Rights was an afterthought to the elites who met secretly in Philadelphia to draft a new constitution, which came in to force contrary to the existing Articles of Confederation.

It’s pretty scary fighting for anything in our country nowadays until we get an administration we can trust. This present one isn’t quite it.
