Our Constitution at Risk: Progressive Liberals Speak as if They Want to Support Our Freedoms, but are Working Behind the Scenes to Limit Them

The primary document of our country, the United States Constitution, is the foundation of all of our laws. It was written over 200 years ago, and despite what liberals say about it, it was created to ensure the rights of every person in the United States of America. Contrary to liberal media, the authors of the United States Constitution were thoughtful individuals who wanted to ensure liberty, and not limit it. It has stood the test of time for over 200 years. Now this generation has determined that the laws we have based our entire nation upon are no longer applicable.

They believe that the Constitution, as written, is unable to protect the citizens of this nation. The question we should ask ourselves – who was our Constitution written to protect? Are there limitations as to what people should be protected from? What is the role of our government? Have we been systematically lied to by those we entrusted to tell us the truth?

The US Constitution

The United States Constitution was the fundamental document written to provide power, not power in a centralized government; but power to protect citizens from the tyranny of a centralized government. At the time, the concept of the United States of America was an experiment. A noble one that was created to provide the most significant rights ever given to citizens by government.

The Constitution offered a singular concept: a government established by the consent of the governed. It was adopted by a group of leaders tired of a titular head of state that would pass down laws without the approval of those who would be affected. It was a document that gave rights to the people and not a central government. As the ratification completed, Benjamin Franklin was asked what type of government was created. His response was “A Republic if you (the People) can keep it.”

Socialist leaders today would like you to believe that we live in an inclusive democracy. Or for lack of a better phrase – mob rule. Why would our founders choose a Republic? Not because they were racists, but because they knew from experience, that laws in some parts of the country may not work effectively in other parts. They understood that our country back then, and it is true today, is made up of very different needs – depending on the region. In 2016, the effect of those differences, and our Republic, was tested in the electoral college. Looking at a map of the country, one would see that Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in virtually every district EXCEPT in large cities.

Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made it clear that the electoral college had lost its benefits since their candidate lost the election. They point to the number of votes that Hillary won over Trump. However, a closer look at the numbers tells a different story. Looking at the election by districts shows that Donald Trump won over 90 percent of the vote. Either way, the election winner, as defined in our Constitution, was to win all 50 states, not by popular vote. A Republic was created to give power to all of the people not just those living in populous cities and states. Our Republic provides power to those who may not be part of the mob and gives responsibility to those who it affects. That is why the House of Representatives is apportioned by the population and the Senate with equal votes (two for each State).

Constitutional Freedoms: Is it an Outdated Document?



If you listen to the liberals and progressives, they will tell you that the Constitution is an outdated document. We are told that it does not consider the world that we live in today. They opine that we live in a global world; and that protections afforded every American should have limitations. The Constitution they remark was written at a time and place that is outdated and outmoded. Think for a moment, and let that sink into your mind. Then let’s look at what was written and why it was written that way.

Giving Rights to the People

The Constitution gave rights to the CITIZENS. It was created to provide powers to the people and set up a central form of government to protect them. Our nation has survived for over 200 years because we, as a country, united together to defend ourselves. We enacted laws that would protect the citizenry. Our leaders, elected officials, and our military swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

The fear of the founders at the time was that a central government could be too powerful. One which would inflict policies and laws over the people that were not in their best interests, and would favor some states over others. Their most significant concern was that people would lose their liberties.

Liberty was the framer’s central focus; they had just fought a war and shed blood in the defense of Liberty. The war was fought against the most powerful nation at the time to attain independence. After that war, they were convinced that they did not want to be dictated to by a central government. One which would trample on and restrict individual liberties.

However, a central government and the protection afforded by it was a requirement to survive. Individually each of the states could not have the security that a central government could provide them. They traded that fear in hopes that a central ruling government would not trample their hard-won freedoms. The Constitution was created to provide “the people” with the ultimate power and also limit the power of a central government. The Bill of Rights added to our Constitution was adopted to ensure that the United States central government would give fundamental rights to every member of its citizenry and that it could not overstep certain bounds.

The rights afforded to the people of this nation were Freedoms NEVER BEFORE assigned to the citizenry; Freedoms of Religion and Speech. Freedoms that limited the government’s powers over our personal property, which gave us rights to defend ourselves, our family, as well as our property. Rights against a tyrannical government, with the right Bear Arms. The right to justice was guaranteed with the Right to Assemble, and Due Process, which includes confronting our accusers. Many other fundamental rights and liberties were part of the Bill of Rights.. Rights that have been put at risk by a political movement today designed to limit the liberties won by the blood of our forefathers.

Is Freedom of Speech Still a Freedom?

Since the 1980s, talk radio has grown to enhance the freedom of speech in our country. Yet for the last 30 years, liberals who disagree with what is said have been railing against it. They want to limit access to it as well as the reach of conservative voices. Since our Republic was founded, many have tried to limit free speech, yet have been overcome by laws and by the people. Yet they keep trying!

In our halls of learning, any message outside mainstream liberal thought today, is protested and picketed. Individuals are bullied until they are forced to be silent. Speakers are muzzled, protested against to limit their audience. Protesters called ANTIFA who say they are defending freedoms are limiting your access to them, by beating down those who disagree. These are not protesters, they are fascists that seek to restrict access to any speech which does not fit their definition. They will resort to violence to ensure it. Aided by social media they have become part of the liberal cabal Bullying and calling for limitations over conservative thought. Anything outside their limited belief. In a free society speech is never limited, yet today our leaders have begun limiting expression and thought by defining something they call “hate speech.” Free Speech has been defined throughout history:

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” – Voltare

Freedom of the Press: The Propaganda of the Left and a Compliant Media Control the Message

Liberals have been working to co-opt our rights for what they call “The Good of the People.” Freedom of the Press was a right enumerated in our Constitution to ensure that the people would get access to information outside of the government. Information required to make informed decisions. However, what if the truth was hidden from the people? What if the message was controlled, not just by the media, but in coordination with the government. It no longer becomes a free press but becomes propaganda. This is how liberty dies!

Progressives/Liberals have banded together to control messaging, creating large organizations they built to own and control media coverage. Large organizations were created limiting the messages people would see, read and hear. This would control people and allow them to define any issue. The right of a free press has been abridged and hijacked by our government. The effects have been massive. There is information that is not disseminated unless you look hard to find it. The media keeps it covered. Large organizations with an agenda to destroy our liberty, now own and define what people hear, read and see. The news is now owned by a wealthy few, overlords such as George Soros, who manipulate the news to present their own spin on events. There is nothing new about this, it has occurred throughout the ages to overthrow governments and challenge the will of the people. It is used to ultimately force the people into submission.

What about social media? Well, the effects are apparent. Google conspired with the Clinton Campaign in 2016 to sway voters. After losing the election, the media made up a nonsensical story about Trump and Russia’s involvement and then promoted a frenzy to overthrow a duly elected president. They have not yet been successful. They have tried impeachment, and to date have not succeeded. If they fail they have their eyes set on the 2020 elections.

Twitter is preventing conservative posts from growing through algorithms designed to limit speech. The rich and powerful are controlling what people actually see from the media and the internet, and are embarking on defining what we see, read, and hear in all aspects of our life. Social websites have been taken over by greed and limit the speech of some over others. Orwell’s 1984 took 30 years to take root, but it is happening before our eyes. The media hears everything we say through our computers and phones and then returns to us images based upon our most intimate conversations.

There is more, and in later essays, I will outline how Free Speech is limited by those in control, along with other topics about the erosion of our Constitution. The destruction has begun. At this point, it is occurring, slowly and deliberately, so that you will not see it happening at first. Then when it is gone, you may never get it back. Will you sit back and watch – or be part of the solution?
