I first started blogging here about a year ago after seeing the wonderful editor of this site appear on a Fox News program.  Blogging was a very new thing to me so I wanted to go with the biggest and best.  I loved the concept of blogging.  For the first time since Manifest Destiny's bloody assault upon the west, Americans, regardless of their location can from their PC or black berry or even phone (wow) communicate their thoughts, grievances, beliefs, ideas, hopes, dreams, fears, achievements, questions, and public and political information to masses of people.  I have no doubt the blogging age had a serious influence upon politics and the election.
"I have a voice and I have a lot to say."-MxPx.

My personal visions, feelings, principals, ideas, hopes, dreams, fears, and values are all over the place.  I am smart and I know history, geography, and a lot of other stuff.  But it would be useless for me to blog about math.
About politics,different issues, or candidates, NOTHING nor party is an influence.  The constitution and our rights are the side you'll see me by.  Our country faces countless of issues because we do not trust our own constitution to decide them. Aside from my Ron Paul and Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson Davis principals, I am pro-ALL life (anti-abortion, anti-war, anti-capital punishment).  In other words, I feel that whoever approves of any form of knowingly killing another human, including the unborn, is a hypocrite if he or she is either against other forms or happens to be a Christian (who's Bible is blunt THOU SHALT NOT KILL   p-e-r-i-o-d).
I believe that healthcare should be a right and that we already get taxed enough to budget this (as soon as we challenge the government's spending habits). I believe that Creatism is logical and more scientifically true than evolutionism.  I that Jesus created the only road map to peace.  I believe that most Christian churches are misleading in that very few actually deeply consider or attempt to follow His commands.  I always thought it was weird that for a group of people that appears to love Jesus so much and dance the aisles because of His death and resurrection, those people usually have no clue about half of what Jesus commanded.  Nor do many of them ever attempt to practice those commands at least as much as they seem to pervert it!

Yes, I have a lot to say and that's why I am blogging.  It is not only for my own satisfactory but I also think that some of these thoughts, values, and principals may help others.  Most of these feelings, views, ideas, and lessons have been gathered up by a very unique and special life and I believe they are all a part of the same gift of life.  I will attempt to share all I can.

Today I would like to share my understanding and thoughts on the Constitution's and our responsibilities in  maintaining personal and states' rights.
Both the historical references and references of our rights, the states, and the constitution can all be sourced and authenticated as fact.  Every view is related to these facts.

Did not the states create the constitution?  Did they not freely activate it for the purpose of preserving the rights of all the people and states in the Union?  Should the volunteer of its own club not also have the right to leave?
Families work as long as their is peace, understanding, love, faith, and respect are their values.  But still, sometimes a family member can be abusive and evil and corruptive towards another, usually younger, member of the family.  Is it not the responsibility of the community and the people to either intervene and hold the abuser accountable or is the worse case scenario, remove the victim (secede the victim from the family, union until either the home is proved to be beyond a reasonable doubt, respectful of the rights and safety of the victim, or in most cases, never.
The states should have this same right.  The states joined the constitution knowing on one hand that being in a union was better than being on your own, yet on the other, trusting future generations to do what was necessary if ever, the Union "was no longer a safeguard and protection, but a menace to their rights..." (Jefferson Davis)
Republicans like to boast about being the 'accountability' party.  Yet, today's politics and system are so completely opposite of anything resembling accountability.  The fact that our states and the people will not only allow all repeating humiliation and tyranny from the government but we also let it, and its parties, and its lies influence our principals.  That is total submission and pathetic. 
Am I anti-government?  Am I a fanatic? Am I right wing or left wing or conservative or liberal?  Am I a secessionist or a terrorist? (The foundation of the origin and vision of the founders was that no two words were more different from each other than secessionist and terrorist). 
I am not any of those things yet I have a little bit of each inside me (with the exception of terrorism).  However, the most authentic and accurate description of my party and political principals is: FREEDOM. 
Freedom was an American thing.  Somehow, until 1776, no civilization in history had ever experienced quite the same success or magnitude of freedom in the new world.  It was the most perfect marriage of freedom and law that ever existed!  Many of us now either ponder, was our forefather's creation in the latter part of the 1700s perfect enough to provide every solution to every issue including the civil war to today?  Yet, the fact is, the form of government they created was perfect for whatever future generations faced.  The problem is that we are not honoring certain parts of it.  How can a solution work if it is not worked?  Again, the solutions to all our country's issues can be discovered in the same constitution all the veterans of our military and our elected officials swear to uphold! LETS UPHOLD IT!
The other obvious (to me) reason to me that national issues regarding the economy, national security, and personal rights, to name a few of all of them, are always present regardless of what administration is in office is because we ignore and do not consider our national motto, something as truly as important as the constitution.  It reads: IN GOD WE TRUST. 
How fewer problems and crises and issues would we be facing today if the constitution was upheld not only by all the men and women that swore to, but by all the citizens that owe it to their children and ancestors to respect it likewise?  How fewer crises and crimes would happen if even half our citizens honored the sacred motto of a country who's dignity and success rely souly on them?
It is not impossible.

The answers and the messages within our founder's motto and instructions are pretty dang obvious.  They were written for a people to not only understand but also approve.  In 1784, when the average citizen lacked any reading skills because the average village lacked a school, the forefathers had to draft the good news in a language simple enough for the simple man.  If it had been too complicated or vague, the weary and distrustful people would have re-declared their independence, this time from yankee doodle.

In light of this, I can not understand how any of us are having debates about any of the issues when the constitution has the authority to decide it.  The problem is that, for the politicians and law makers, the solutions within the constitution are not the kind of solutions they are looking for (How can I get reelected? How can I get away with this or that?  How can I deceive the public of the real me?  How can I get the most money to get to me?  What's in it for me)?
For the average or unaverage citizen, there are many reasons why the constitution is a forgotten tool box in the shed.  And none of these reasons are beyond our control. (It is too much work, nobody else cares, going against giants, fear, manipulated by the media and government that solutions and hope lay with your vote rather than you. What's in it for me)?  And even though the constitution was created with sensitivity towards a simple nation, most of us can only recite one line from it!  The responsibility of you or your kids becoming educated on the constitution and the responsibility of maintaining it is NOT our schools, NOT our military, NOT our government, and NOT the media.  IT IS OURS.  If we do not gather around our responsibilities, the crap that is building all over, is ours alone.

Granted, sometimes our responsibility and commitment to our flag and our country may not be simple.  It may not seem right at the time and may even create a few challenges.  One example was the Civil War.  This was the first and perhaps the greatest example in our history where not only did the government crush the constitutional rights of millions of people but a majority of them allowed it.  The Southern states had practiced their constitution rights.  The folks in those states remembered their ancestors' promise.  God had given the colonists the right of revolution for certain rights.  The constitution and the authority of the sovereign states hemselves gave the Southerns the right of secession for any cause. 
However, Lincoln and his administration gave birth to more recent tactics more powerful than honor and responsibility, it seems. Fear.  He ruled much of the north in  by martial law.  In dozens of his speeches, including the Gettysburg Speech, Lincoln constantly hinted that the fate of the nation was being decided when in fact, Southern secession would of had no effect on the exisiting Federal government, its constitution, or remaining states.  He championed the cause of slavery even though he personally wrote racist accounts in letters.  Even though the same cause did not exist one way or another on the other side. 

"The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states."-Charles Dickens, 1862

"We were not rebels; we did not fight to perpetuate human slavery, but for our rights and privileges under a government established over us by our fathers and in defense of our homes." -Richard Henry Lee, Confederate Colonel

Though it was the people of the North's duty to allow the secession of the Southern states just as it had been the duty of those states to secede and make an accountable decision regarding their future.
We will never know what kind of history would have followed if the Northern states had respected the equal rights of their Southern neighbors and allowed them to form a country of their own.  It would not have been the first time a nation was born from secession.  Colonies from England, Mexico and Cuba from Spain, Texas from Mexico.

I pray that someday we will give the states, states of we the people, back the throrn ofthrone that birthed this awesome freedom.

"If the doctrine that secession is treason be true, it matters not how grievously a State might be oppressed, by the Federal Government; she has been deprived of the power of lawful resistance, and must regain her liberty, if at all...........

Was this the sort of experiment in government, that our forefathers supposed they were making?"
