We the People of the United States

American, by Definition

Much has been written, said and debated about the United States Constitution. The first sentence of the Constitution reads: “We the People of the United States’. Now to simply ask, how does that translate? By virtue of the whole document and the objective, the translation IS those individuals that WANT to be a part of the United States.

The Guantanamo detainees clearly do not WANT to be part of the United States and for that matter neither did Major Hasan. Clearly then, they should have ‘no part’ of any protections under the United States Constitution. Illegal immigrants also fall under the same concept as illegal immigrants maintain no allegiance or loyalty to the United States, as they chose not to follow or obey the laws and procedures of our country.

The very conclusion that those outsiders are granted safeguards and shields under the Constitution is unthinkable. How many others remain inside our borders or geographical jurisdiction that are seeking and using our own laws in the spirit that these laws were invoked against that very spirit?

KSM and his band of brothers as well as all others outside that scope have defined our political correctness and weaknesses in their benefit to promote iniquity and wicked sins against humanity. The sitting president of the United States and the associated administration and doctrine are encouraging as well as promoting these wicked sins all in as it seems to dilute the very spirit and goodwill of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder is forcing the matter of applying the provisions of the Constitution to those that are and demand to remain outside the scope of ‘We the People of the United States’ by translation, definition, loyalty, culture and criminal behavior.

To all those that WANT to be and ARE part of ‘We the People of the United States’ need to stand stern and fight take issue and battle to preserve and defend the spirit and soul of our beloved Constitution.

37 Years and Still No Advance

37 Years and Still No Advance

Just a couple of nights ago, I was reminded of a speech that President Nixon made that included some real concerns on America’s dependence of foreign oil. Nixon and each subsequent president worked on several initiatives to solve the dilemma of the high cost of oil including coming off the gold standard. There was inflation and the dollar was in trouble. Any of this sound familiar?

History repeats itself often and since 1973, history is repeated often as it relates to OPEC, the value of the dollar, but most of the America can’t seem to invoke the solution when it comes to relying on oil from the Middle East.

America was once the frontier full of innovation, advanced science, entrepreneurial spirit and most of all cutting edge solutions. This remains true if the Federal Government stays out of the way. Federal government intervention has stifled the solution of our dependence on oil regardless of where it comes from. Many other countries are now leading the pack in alternate energy sources and usage.

Solar is old news just as is geo-thermal as solutions to wean us from any kind of oil consumption. Wind use goes back even further. The alternative methods of energy production and usage are really a comedy and an embarrassment 37 years or more later.

The biggest tragedy in this issue remains that our dollar that pays for every barrel of oil leaves this country, leaves jobs for offshore but makes other countries wealthier not only in their respective economies but in their ability to advance in power and presence. America is moving towards to caboose end in economic competition, presence and industry. Who is to blame? Congress is the culprit but American voters allow Congress to remain derelict in their duty.
