A Re-Declaration of Independence - Fifth Installment | Eastern North Carolina Now

    As I outlined above, and it is not even nearly a complete accounting, one is clearly able to see that the federal government has abused and violated almost every aspect of the Constitution over the many years. It is barely recognizable as the central government our Founders envisioned and embodied in form in the Constitution, and which was then ratified by all of the States. Most offensively and most dangerously, its three branches (or four, if you believe the mainstream media has morphed into a fourth branch of government) have created a monopoly on the meaning, scope, and intent of the Constitution. In other words, it has created a monopoly on what powers the government has and how intimately it can insert itself into our lives, our businesses, and into our pursuits of happiness. So, what do we do? That is the question. Well, there is one thing that I know to be true. Talk is cheap. We can talk, complain, protest, march, petition, pray, and watch Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingram and Don Bongino and Mark Levin all day long, but NONE OF THAT is going to matter or make one bit of difference. These conservative talk show hosts and pundits preach primarily to the choir. The left is shutting down our speech and not only ignoring our protests, but using them as opportunities to mock and ridicule us. Remember, we are "domestic terrorists" now. And because we are a danger to the progressive agenda of the government, we must somehow be disarmed or at least highly frustrated and burdened in our ability to keep and bear arms. God forbid we should take them up against those in government.

    We need to do what the colonists did. They had their great orators and writers - like John Adams, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, etc - but they also had the "militant" wing of the resistance against Great Britain.... the Sons of Liberty. They engaged in many acts of civil disobedience, acts of interposition (such as blocking the American harbors, destroying British products that the King insisted the colonists buy, burning down royal homes and offices, and even acts of mild violence. That is what works. Every time the Sons of Liberty resisted the Crown, the Crown gave in. They repealed taxes and they gradually gave the colonists back their freedoms. So the answer is -- ACTION !!! But what kind of action??

    I support breaking up the country into at least two parts; two new countries. The political factions are far too diametrically different from each other and therein lies the problem. We cannot negotiate or reconcile without surrendering the freedom our founding generation secured for us and our great generations after that for protecting and fighting for. Freedom MUST always come first.

    Our understanding of freedom and the foundation on which our country was created and built is outlined clearly in the Declaration of Independence. It's premise is inalienable and God-given rights and Individual Sovereignty. The Declaration talks about how these rights can never be surrendered and because they are so important, it must be the primary role of government to protect them. For that reason, our Founders created a limited government. It was created by the Constitution and all the powers it has, and will ever have (until the Constitution is lawfully amended) is outlined in it. The federal government is a "creature," That is, it was created by the States and the People thru the compact that is the Constitution. The States independently ratified it through ratifying conventions (called up by the people and comprised of ordinary folk). A creature can never be a master over its creators. That is the key to why we must act. That is the key to why we should break up the country. That unique and critical principle is at stake. The Declaration tells us - promises us - that if the government fails to serve the purposes for which it was instituted, it is the right, and even the duty, of the People to "alter or abolish it" and institute a new government.


    Any and every act that the government takes that supersedes or abuses, or violates, any article or provision of the Constitution (including every amendment) takes the rightful power away from another, whether it be the States or the People. This is outright usurpation. Every such act is unconstitutional and hence, unenforceable. This is the concept behind the theory of Nullification. Whenever the government proceeds to abuse, supersede, or violate the Constitution's limits, it is an act of tyranny. We are witnessing the most tyrannical government of any generation. And it has to stop. The point of this article is to emphasize that we NEED to stop with the talking and the peaceful respectful protests in DC and to take action instead.

Should the current Congress, under the care of the Democratic Socialists, have the right to pass new legislation - H.R. 1 - attempting to strip these 50 states united from managing their own elections?

  Yes, elections have consequences and the Democratic Socialists are now fully in charge.

  No, the partisan passing of H.R. 1, by only the Democratic Socialists, to create an illegitimate rich environment to corrupt elections and control the ballot box is fully unconstitutional.

  I just don't care.
