Enemies of the Constitution, secret and professed. Warnings from Daniel Webster (T)
wnd.com ^ | 1/18/2019 | Bill Federer

Posted on 01/18/2019 8:58:23 AM PST by rktman

“The Constitution has enemies, secret and professed. … They have hot heads and cold hearts. They are rash, reckless, and fierce for change, and with no affection for the existing institutions of their country. … Other enemies there are, more cool, and with more calculation. These have a deeper and more fixed and dangerous purpose. … There are those in the country, who profess, in their own words, even to hate the Constitution. … Friends of the Constitution must rally and unite … with immovable firmness, like a band of brothers … looking only to the great object set before them, the preservation of the Constitution, bequeathed to them by their ancestors. They must gird up their loins for the work. It is a duty which they owe to these ancestors, and to the generations which are to succeed them. … I give … my heart and hand, my entire cooperation to all good men … who are willing to stand by the Constitution. …”

Seen daily in the house and senate. And the new crop couldn't give two craps about the history of the document and few understand what an incredible document it is. Most still profess we are a democracy. We are NOT!

NON PRINT version of what some old white guy said a long time ago and has no bearing on today. Or something.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation proved that the enemies of the Constitution are prevailing.

Everyone who argues against the natural born citizen requirement is an enemy of the Constitution.

Plenty of them even on Free Republic.

Hasn’t this dead horse been sufficiently beaten by you?
No, how silly of me. Carry on.

Forfeit part, lose all.

As we found out during the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

I guess you prefer the Constitution being a dead horse?

The Constitution doesn’t define what is a natural born citizen, AFAIK. Your mileage obviously differs.

Only an a$$hat would make a comment like that! The Constitution IS The United States of America. If you don’t like the way it is written, haul a$$ to your favorite $hithole country and don’t let the door hit you in the a$$!! I am sick and tired of “conservatives” negotiating away our rights and traditions. Name one position in matters of the Constitution, social issues, or fiscal issues that is more conservative today than it was 50-60 years ago. Waiting . . . waiting . . . crickets . . . waiting . . . that’s right, you can’t name one. Not one! It’s time to STOP negotiating and taking territory back! And God bless him, President Trump is the best hope we have to do it in a very long time.

It doesn’t define what “shall not be infringed” means either.

The founders did not expect us to become stupid.

It is obvious except to the purposely obtuse.

Obvious to you, not necessarily anyone else.
And I’m not about to support a Constitution (Version You).

Don’t be an enemy of the Constitution, educate yourself.

They assumed we as a collective group would explain it down the line to youngsters and such so that it would just be a part of everyday common sense.

It was until the 1960’s.
There has been a determined effort to undermine it.

I’ve danced around the floor with you on this before, and you refuse to see the light. What is your obsession accomplishing, anyway?

You are the one who refuses to see the light.
It’s common sense logic.
