Wow, What a Week!

For me, this past week was a boring week, but, it exploded quickly. With two very controversial rulings from the Supreme Court, things really flashed hot quickly. Both rulings were HUGE steps in the right direction for our country. They caught me both by surprise.

While I am not a huge gun person, I believe VERY strongly that the Constitution as it is written is not something that should not be reinterpreted to fit Mr. Biden’s (Barack Obama’s puppet) far-left agenda. How did the American Thinker put it back in 2012?

Any restraint on Obama that is embedded in the Constitution generates about the same response you’d get from a young child when they are told that, no, they can’t have a cookie just before dinner.  “No? No!  You can’t be serious!  I want a cookie, and if you don’t give it to me, I’ll get it some other way!” Reading this, anyone might think that Barack Obama, the constitutional scholar (who has written not one scholarly article about said Constitution) is simply frustrated by the U.S. Constitution.

(Obama and the Constitution: How Inconvenient! – American Thinker, January 16, 2012)

Owning and possessing and using firearms is a guaranteed right in that Constitution. According to Thomas Jefferson, “When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny” When government fears the people, there is liberty… (Spurious Quotation) | Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello.

Regarding the Roe vs. Wade decision, to me at least, this is a decision firmly in the camp of State’s rights—which is also something that Biden and Obama fear and hate. I definitely believe that abortion is murder and there are so many alternatives to murdering an inconvenient child. However, the issue that I believe that really puts a itch in Mr. Biden’s Depends is that he wanted a stronger and stronger and stronger central government. Again, from the same article:

Oddly, Obama doesn’t seem to have any problem with the use of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China. (Yes, they actually have one.)  He even said he’d like to have the power the Chinese president possessed [bold mine].  The Islamic Republic of Iran also has a constitution that doesn’t seem to raise Obama’s ire.  So does North Korea.  (Yep, they have constitutions too, as does Russia.) Perhaps there’s a pattern emerging here. 

Mr. Biden wants to continue Mr. Obama’s plan of centralizing more and more power to Washington and therefore becoming more and more like his red Chinese masters. This is definitely not the way the central government was envisioned by the founding fathers.

I believe that both actions by the Supreme Court are steps in the right direction. The founders separated the powers of the United States for a reason into the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches so that tyrants like George Soros, Obama (Biden), and others could not control everything. I am thankful for that forethought.

However, I am afraid that it is just a band-aid on a larger wound. The truth of the matter was said so eloquently by John Adams. He once said,

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Without the moral and religious center that he mentioned here, we will keep slipping back into expressions of socialism, dictatorship, and not seeing other living beings as created in the image of God.

Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
