The Constitution

Normally, I don't take umbrage with people who laud the Constitution.  I realize most people have not read the document, or if they have, understand it.  The Constitution was written in first century of the 17th century by people who were committed to the idea that our country would be free from foreign occupation and would offer freedom to all that would come to our shores.  Since its inception, the Constitution has been amended several times [27 to be exact].  Each amendment was added to enhance our freedoms.

Hold those who take oaths accountable [Caldwell Writer]

 It should bother every American citizen that our laws are being ignored and re-written by rogue Congressmen, judges and presidents, all against the Constitution to which each swore an oath or affirmation to obey.    OMG, here we go again.  It's a huge conspiracy to destroy the Constitution and all it stands for.  If the Constitution is that shaky, maybe we should drop it all together.  This guy doesn't trust his own document to stand up to scrutiny and amendment.

It appears their lust to remain in office has spurred their desire to change the demography of the country so as to enlist voters whose needs for government support favors their retention. Currently there are over one million legal immigrants and uncounted thousands, if not millions, of illegal aliens entering the country each year. Many, if not most, are dependent upon government for some form of support. Thus, immigration laws are subverted, ignored and rewritten illegally.    Ah, now I get it.  It's all them foreigners that are ruining the Constitution...the very people the Constitution was written to protect.  The SCUM, How dare they take over my precious country and destroy our Constitution.  Damn those Alien Scum.  What's that?  Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?  Yeah, but that's just for us White Anglo Saxon Protestants...everybody knows that.  Kick 'em out...all of 'em.  We didn't send the Blacks back to Africa and now look at the trouble they've caused.  "How dare those RACES move into my beloved America and ruin it," Said the Lakota Sioux Chief [a NATIVE American].

If our government officials were not corrupt or irresponsible, they would not violate their oaths or affirmations.    Conspiracy on Conspiracy.  Those damned politicians.  Who put them in Washington?  Who would be stupid enough to keep them in there?  What?  Me?  Wha'd'ya mean me?  I didn't do it.  I didn't vote for any of 'em.  In fact, I didn't vote at all...I showed 'em.

An oath is “a solemn affirmation or declaration, made with an appeal to God for the truth of what is affirmed. The appeal to God in an oath, implies that the person imprecates his vengeance and renounces his favor if the declaration is false, or if the declaration is a promise, the person invokes the vengeance of God if he should fail to fulfill it. A false oath is called perjury.”    Politicians and oaths.  Hehehehe.  Politicians take 'em every day.  They take oaths to protect fetuses, to protect women's rights, to protect Big Business, To protect the environment, etc., etc., ad nauseum.  Come on, Robert, are you really that naive?  The day of a handshake and a nod are over.  If you want things to change, you have to change 'em yourself by changing yourself.  You can sit and bitch forever, and nothing will change until you step into the fray and change 'em yourself.  Write to your Mayor, your state Reps, your Senators, your Congressmen.  After all, you hired 'em, YOU need to hold 'em accountable.   When was the last time you penned a letter to anyone, let alone a senator?  Betcha ya can't remember.  Nope, it's easier to write to the IPT and bitch and moan about the big Washington conspiracy to ruin your precious Constitution.
 
And “ A solemn declaration made under the penalties of perjury, by persons who conscientiously decline taking an oath, which affirmation is in law equivalent to testimony given under oath.”    These two quotes of an oath and affirmation are definitions used by our founders and found in the 1828 Websters Dictionary.    Oh BS.  That's only in a court of law.  I can promise anything I want, but until a court says I have to obey that promise, it means nothing and you know it.  How many times have you tried to return something and the clerk asked you for the receipt?  The receipt is the thing.  It shows you paid.  I can declare anything I want, but if you don't have a signed receipt, I'm not under any penalty phase.  The declaration that I'll protect the constitution is what I agree to, not that I'll not side step it at times.  Those side steps are called amendments.
 
We the people should hold these individuals accountable to their oaths and affirmations by impeaching those that can be impeached or not voting for those we can’t. Until we have individuals who obey, this country will continue to slide towards oblivion.    It is our responsibility to demand accountability. Tell them, now!     Finally, Bob, you make a bit of sense.  Toss out the conspiracy BS and get down to what really makes a difference.  Telling Pols what you want!  Forget about that impeachment BS too, that seldom works.  Impeachment means you have to involve courts and lawyers...ever dealt with courts and lawyers?  It ain't pretty.  Our country will never slide into oblivion.  Come on Bob, that's ridiculous.  But, when you say we need to hold 'em accountable, you got my attention.  I do that daily.  I write.  I call.  I join.  I blog.  What have you done besides vote?

Robert B. Murray II, Caldwel

Bob isn't a bad guy, just a misguided individual.  This letter is at least a try for accountability.  However, if this is all he does, he might as well sit in his bedroom, pick his nose and flip it at the wall.  But...GOOD on ya today, Bob.
