You are among the first in America to receive this exciting news: Hillsdale
College has a brand new FREE online course!

I urge you to register right now, to learn what every American must know to
preserve our... AMERICAN HERITAGE REGISTER HERE - NO COST

https://online.hillsdale.edu/heritage/re [1]...

The first class, taught by me [Rick Harvey], began on Monday, February 25. BUT IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER FOR THIS COURSE. It is archived online so you can
take each lecture at your leisure.

I'm eager to tell you more about this important and timely series, being
offered online for the FIRST TIME -- Free!

But first, here's an interesting little test for you: Which President said
the following? (HINT: It was during his Second Inaugural Address.)

"... each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the
enduring strength of our Constitution.

"What makes us exceptional, what makes us America is our allegiance to an
idea articulated in a declaration .... We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.

"The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the
privileges of a few, or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a republic, a
government of, and by, and for the people. Entrusting each generation to keep
safe our founding creed...."

Who comes to mind: Jefferson? Lincoln? Coolidge? Reagan?

Actually it's none of the above. It was Barack Obama.

Surprised? I was too.

How can a President of the United States use phrases like "unalienable
rights" and government "of, by, and for the people," when all of his actions
point away from a republic of liberty, and toward bureaucratic despotism.

President Obama's policies -- from Obamacare, to higher taxes and runaway
debt, to increased regulation of the economy and of family life -- are in
direct contradiction to these words in his second inaugural address.

President Obama can only get away with misusing the words of America's
founders because too many Americans today have not been properly educated
about our American Heritage.

And if this is allowed to continue, our great nation will continue to become
less free and less prosperous, and the intrusive bureaucratic state will
continue to grow.

To steer our nation in the right direction, Americans must once again be
educated for liberty.

“Conservative” Senator Mike Lee Advocates Trashing The Constitution and Bill of Rights As Long As The Senate Has 60 Votes

Senator Mike Lee ( R-Utah) was a guest on Greta Van Susteren’s On The Record said:

“What we’re insisting on, Greta, is a sixty vote margin. We think that any time Congress wants to take away the constitutionally protected rights of American citizens, it ought not do so for light or transient reasons; and it ought not do so with one party, the party in control of that party.”

I was stunned when I heard him utter those words On the Record. Senator Lee somehow believes that having procured a “Super Majority” that the proper threshold has been crossed to begin trashing the Constitution and trashing the God-given, constitutionally protected rights of “We the People!”

I hate to be the one to break this news to Senator Lee but I don’t care if every long eared jackass and every horned RINO in the Senate, even if it is rises to 100% unanimity, votes to steal the rights of “We the People,” it is still an act of sedition, and in the case of gun control, I believe an act of treason inasmuch as we are mandated to be the Militias of the several states and to “infringe” on the right of the people to keep and bear arms would leave us defenseless.

There are two key phrases in Article 2 of the Bill of Rights. The first is: “The right of the people.” Senator Lee, that phrase is also found in the 1st Amendment. It is a carefully crafted phrase letting Congress know that these are the unalienable “Rights of the People” and they are not to be touched.

The second is the word infringed. Infringed means that even the dirtiest part of the garment which hangs on the ground and collects mud and filth cannot be touched. That means no matter how undesirable you believe it is for me to be armed, you cannot tough my right to be armed.

Senator Lee, you have apparently misread the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They do not bind down “We the People”. They are there to place chains on the government … to keep them from the insanity of which you spoke so highly during your misguided appearance with Greta Van Susteren.

First, Senator Lee, let me begin by defining the American government. According to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights the American government is tri-partied. It consists of We the People, the States, and the Federal Government (not national, which implies power over the people instead of a federal government which is assigned certain tasks to complete on our behalf).

This is an important concept as concerns both U.S. and biblical law. Government is not just the federal government or the state government. It, above all and most importantly, includes and is comprised of at every level of “We the People”.

Therefore, all duties of government belong to all Americans. However, we tender to the federal government and sovereign 10th Amendment States certain duties to be carried out on behalf of the whole government, which includes, most importantly, Americans. With that understanding, when the ignorant, unlearned, or leftist traducers suggests that only government should have guns, it is the job of Constitutional Americans to remind them that We the People are one-third of the government structure in this country and comprise the other two thirds.

Further, we are the first nation in the history of this earth which had no subjects. Every other nation considered their heads of state as rulers and the people as its subjects. Even Great Britain had—and still has—as a basis of government, the concept of their people as subjects. As Americans we have never been subjects. We are free men and women who are citizens and government is subject to us and to our designs … not the other way around.

Our history includes numerous wars with Great Britain, beginning with the Revolutionary War. That war was fought for a number of reasons, including religious persecution. However, the catalyst for the commencement of hostilities was the British hubris believing they could simply march in and take our guns. Men bled and died; fortunes were committed and lost; families destroyed and lives forever changed, but in the end, America prevailed and history was forever changed.

This land remained free for a number of spiritual reasons, but also because we believed that every man should be armed. We the People were the government and to disarm us was to disarm the United States.

Now, with the same imperial hubris, the strutting peacocks calling themselves our “representatives” fire about legislation that pretends as if we have no history and blithely assumes that the rights of We the People are light, transient and easily changeable. They assume to themselves the position of royalty—not loyalty—in assuming they can pass gun control or confiscation legislation and steal the rights of We the People, granted by God, and therefore removable only by Him and protected unconditionally under the Second Amendment which uses the iron clad phrase “shall not be infringed.”

How would the nation feel if we decided tomorrow to regulate, not end, but regulate, their rights under the First Amendment? What if government declared tomorrow that everybody has to be a Mormon and no one is allowed to criticize the President, the Congress or the Courts? What if government decided that from this point on public speech would not be ended, just regulated? What if before one could speak in public one would need to undergo a national background check, be told on what subjects they could speak and what they could say and one would have to agree to these “regulations” before they would be granted a license to speak in public? Would the gun grabbers on the left still say that this is not an infringement, merely a defining or perhaps regulatory measure to protect the public, or would there be an outcry of censorship that would bring down the great walls of the great halls of Washington D.C.? I suspect the latter.

The Militia Act of 1792

Passed May 8, 1792, provided for the organization of the state militias. It conscripted every "free able-bodied white male citizen" between the ages of 18 and 45 into a local militia company. Militia members were to arm themselves with a musket, bayonet and belt, two spare flints, a cartridge box with 24 bullets, and a knapsack. Men owning rifles were required to provide a powder horn, 1/4 pound of gun powder, 20 rifle balls, a shooting pouch, and a knapsack. Some occupations were exempt, such as congressmen, stagecoach drivers, and ferryboatmen. Otherwise, men were required to report for training twice a year, usually in the Spring and Fall.

The militias were divided into "divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies" as the state legislatures would direct. The provisions of the first Act governing the calling up of the militia by the President in case of invasion or obstruction to law enforcement were continued in the second Act. Court martial proceedings were authorized by the statute against militia members who disobeyed orders. (Source: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_Acts_of_1792)

Further, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The definition in Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines infringed as “broken, violated: transgresses. Clearly the Founding Fathers believed that everyone should be armed.

“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the people’s liberty’s teeth.” - George Washington

I will proceed no further with the hundreds of quotes that could be applied, but suffice it to say, both history and the law support our unabridged right to keep and bear arms – of any sort – without limitation. We the People are the government.

We are not subjects of the government that may be stripped of our rights. We The People are one-third of the American government. You cannot strip this third of government of guns while allowing the other two-thirds armaments. Such actions would be as unlawful as Congress attempting to control the executive or judicial branches of the federal government.

What breath-taking ignorance and arrogance you displayed, Senator Lee, while weakly attempting to make a protest on gun legislation. It is, of course, laudable that you were trying to make it more difficult for the left to pass gun control legislation. But the choice isn’t between 51 votes or 60 votes to authorize a change in the Constitution or to purloin our sacred and God-given rights. One cannot by an act of Congress, no matter the vote-change, disavow the Constitution or the Bill of rights.

The federal branch of American government attempting to disarm one-third of the American government is not government, but tyranny.

Therefore, I must conclude that any attempt to disarm the people in any way, is sedition because it is in violation of our history, deprives one-third of the government—We the People—of a right inherent to all, and despotically limits armaments to only two parts of government to the diminishment or even enslavement of the other.

Further, it nullifies the ability to carry out the divine command to one-third of the American government— We the People —to deliver the poor and oppressed from the hand of the wicked. Additionally, such a disarmament dramatically reduces or eliminates one’s ability to protect their family, home and nation.

As citizens we are bound to protect this nation against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Any attempt to disarm We the People of this country is a denial of our history, immoral, and illegal and therefore violates the Second Amendment which in a de facto sense nullifies all of the rest of both the Constitution and the Amendments. To disarm the people is at once an act of war, and, in fact, a coup d'état. It is treason and sedition against the government of the United States, comprised of We The People.

Therefore, Senator Lee, no matter how well intentioned your comments On The Record were, they were−and always will be− tragically wrong-headed and contentiously flippant of those things we as Americans have held dear for hundreds of years.

We the People, have not and will not give the United States Senate the power to void the Constitution, overturn the Bill of Rights or disarm “WE THE PEOPLE”, whether the vote be a simple majority or a one hundred percent emersion into a such seditious folly.
