I see there is a Cynthia Scapps on the mailing list as Cindy.

I guess that would be you.

Way ahead of me there.

The Constitution

used as toilet paper since 1933

Cindy

How many of them have been caught doing something and they still sit in office. They collect their pay check. They probably have no clue what the Constitution is.

Real change in Washington would be to kick them out or send some of them to jail. Now that would be real change!

Good post.

The Constitution ...

Good post, Cindy. I also have to agree with Crawfish relative to 1933 ans share Sue's sentiments.

Our Constitution is being slowly...

...made irrelevant and is being replaced by the UN Charter and other international documents. The fight is on. We must educate our young people and warn them of what they are doing to themselves. They're destroying their own future.
Stop by some time Cindy. DD

Thank you for the comments on my "blog"

You single-handedly provided more traffic, to that dusty thing, than it has senn in years.

Excellent point about a house divided.

MATTHEW

Chapter 12

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Cindy. Pregnant with dire significance

"We The People" once simply meant the folks on the North American Continent whose souls were as "good" as heaven's "gold." Presently, no simplicity whatsoever exists in the weaving of our fabric.

de Tocqueville, a bright traveler sent by his government in 1831 to study American prisons, personally expanded his observations. After considerable travel in American cities and villages, he said rather prophetically:

Americans will be free only as long as they continue to be "good."

Now, great minds have contemplated the meaning of de Toqueville's "good" for more than two generations. In the first instance, we all knew that he was referring to Christian Golden Rules found in McGuffy's reader, the only teaching tool available at the time in the one-room school houses.

That explains why I have become so fanatical about sources and definitions. You see, about this same time, the Ivy League Universities were being built; and to my consternation great minds like Will James, Pierce, Hawthorne, Emerson and Oliver Wendell Holmes decided that the human psyche was explainable in the chemistry lab. Here came pragmatisim, dialectical materialism, existentialism and phenomenology. And That's ludicrously simplistic of me as well as too comprehensive, but you understand the need for hyperbole.

Our constitution is dependent upon that mysteriously "good" American mentality; and that statement, uttered these days, usually starts a bloody street brawl.

Our constitution was "loosely" written by men who understood both the necessities and the risks. Pray that the risks have not conquered us. Accepting those inherent risks in freedom left incredible holes and cracks through which the authoritarians could seep. Only that "good" in the American psyche sustained the freedom embodied in that document.

We are all too energized, empowered and dependent upon the "sin tax."



Amending the Constitution

One thing Cindy is this: if one wants to amend the Const. nowadays, the leftist kooks want to have a completely new, all new Constitutional Convention. Yes. That would open the entire ball of wax . It is so difficult to amend the Const. and especially now with liberals in charge of the Leg, Ex. and almost the Judicial branches. 2/3 or 3/4 et al make it very hard indeed. Just getting one amendment through, say on stopping immediate citizenship for babies of illegals born here, would throw the process into a loop. I wish it were not so but there it is.

Cindy, you may already be aware

But there is already a move afoot to call a Constitutional Convention. Rackoons referred to it in his comment. I wrote a piece about it, but never posted it in Pesky Truth. Here is a small part of the piece:

“Thirty-two states have already taken the vote and Ohio is considering voting to call a convention. Only one more state must vote affirmatively in order to call a constitutional convention.

What is a constitutional convention and why is it important?

A constitutional convention is a gathering for the purpose of writing a new constitution or revising an existing constitution. A general constitutional convention is called to create the first constitution of a political unit or to entirely replace an existing constitution. An unlimited constitutional convention is called to revise an existing constitution to the extent that it deems to be proper.

Article V of the constitution sets forth a mechanism whereby future constitutional conventions can be held. The constitution has been amended several times since the Philadelphia Convention, but never by this method.”

I can’t believe that there has been so little written about this. True, it will take some time for a Con Con and ratification, but now the liberals have power and no doubt feel that if they could control the agenda, they’d be assured of “updating” the Constitution to better reflect their “values.” This is scary ...

Hey, Cindy!

It`s great to read all your comments on the blogs here at TH! You have a lot to say and often I find myself thinking the EXACT SAME THING! It`s good to know you are out there. We are all going to need each other now!

Cindy

Garnet92 is right. There are those who would form a "new" country right under our noses. We must all keep alert and keep our powder dry-great post!!welcome abord.

The Crawfish

Got to agree with you. FDR wiped his a** on the Constitution.

Cindy

Oh boy is the shite going to hit the fan..I also see it coming (read Micheal Regean's new thread)
Hitlery's power grab is going to be HUGE!
Holder's going to run rabid and PEBO's going to sit and watch and blame everyone else and Watergate is going to look like childsplay.

One if by Land, Two If By sea..
The red commies are coming
Sound the alarm and meet in roads, guns in hand..we're going to need a revolution to straighten out this mess

keep Fighting
Edna

Cindy

Together we fight then..I will meet you by the side of the road...They're not stealing my rights or my kids either

Bravo Cindy

Thanks for posting this! I haven't read the preamble since grade school. Thanks for reminding us, I just hope it isn't too late.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I've got a new post up if you want to see it.

We the people may wake up soon...

Remember what Cicero said..."A Nation can survive it's fools..."

Hi Cindy

Say, have you considered writing something up relative to the preamble to the 'bill of rights?'

We may disagree, but when that preamble is added, it changes to context for the first 10 amendments. It is a personal pet peeve of mine that the national government has bastardized (sorry for the language) the meaning of the 'bill of rights.'

Mrs. AL

Cindy

Thanks for visiting and posting at my blog. Hope to see you there again!

Great post on your part, hope to see more.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Cindy

Went to Boris' site as you recommended. Also went to the link he provided at the '...Ideological...' site.

Looks ok on the surface. Will have to do a lot more reading and evaluating to come to a conclusion. I am by nature skeptical until I read/evaluate/munge. My personal quirk.

Thanx for the lead and trust we will stay in touch. If you want to email me, the address is vacit2000@fastmail.fm

Take care
Mrs. AL

Cindy

I could not say it better myself, keep up the great work!!!

Send an email at this account so I can give you information when this site goes public:

usasovereignty@yahoo.com

I am creating a new site that will be pulling different items that deal with National Sorveignty, the "Federal Reserve", United States Constitution, etc. This willl be a new web based portal.

This is the sample site of what is to come(Townhall forum):

Main site is:

Constitution

I agree. The US Constitution has been null and void for the last 20 years.

..

Cindy

Thanks for the links, I appreciate the information. Isn't it funny that Obama and Biden are just sitting in their big offices without a care in the world!

There is more than meets the eye with those two, and I can feel it. If you have ever gone to DailyKos.com you will see that last year all they talked about was a new world way of thinking.

If you read that I was kicked off of their website, that was within one hour of logging onto their site. Of course that was after I was threatened to be killed, etc. Nice way for the liberal way of thinking, of course Obama was a key contributor to them.

Cindy

One only needs to see that there is a great importance to keep up the pressure of the democrats in Congress/Senate. There is no way that I will allow them to take my rights away, and I am sure that 60 million more that didn't vote for Obama agrees with me.

Cindy

It will be alot easier to email me at: uscgman3@yahoo.com and feel free to pass it along to your friends with information about our government.

I appreciate all that you have done and once again thank you!!

Great

Too bad I saw a study once where high school kids thought Marx sayings where in the Constitution

Yep. And we are a house divided.

Ive never seen it more divided in my 72 years. It isn't only divided, swords are drawn figuratively. Anger and hatred are rife. Liberals are rabid in their animosity while conservatives, to too large a degree, are too polite to stand up and get involved. It's like pulling a train uphill to get them in gear. We'd better be alert. The new administration is going to attemt a re-do of our Constitution and if we don't stand our ground, America wil become a Country we don't even recognize. We'd better wake up, get up, stand up and speak up or we're gonna be toast.

Good work cindy.

We the People

We the People are a sadly out numbered bunch right now but as Sam Adams once said:

"It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men"

"I know not what course others may take but as for me
GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH"

Cindy: Your admonition about trust and being nice is going into the permanent file for future reference. Thank you for the heads-up. Say, I happened into some great posts while coming over to your neighborhood for this visit. The "Idiot" series absolutely cracked me up. You're going to spoil me with your wit and wisdom to the extent that I won't get anything done around here. God bless you, and keep up the good work. Verne.
