What makes us Americans?
What unifies these United States?
I'm teaching my Intermediate students that there are five principles that we must know, understand and honor to keep our nation united when everything else seems to be constantly changing.
Our Founders and Framers of the Constitution invented a Limited Government ruled by We the People. This guaranteed Unlimited Individual Liberty protected by our Constitution. Personal Responsibility is the backbone of Liberty. I admonish my 10-12 year old students that being irresponsible gives their power and liberty away. You can't hold on to the power to rule a nation if you don't have self-control. National Security is the fourth principle. We the People expect our elected representatives to 1. Protect our unlimited liberties, and 2. Protect our nation so that we don't live in fear. The final principle is Free Enterprise - the unlimited potential of Capitalism, enriching the economy and empowering the consumer.
Do voters know, understand and honor these indisputable founding principles of our Constitutional Republic? Will the candidates and propositions they support promote and protect these principles? If not, their votes are undermining our Republic (a government by representatives elected by citizens who wield supreme power in the nation).
Does every voter know that Article 4, Section 4 of our Constitution guarantees "to every State in this Union a Republican form of government"?
"But I thought we were a Democracy!"
Nope. The word "democracy" is not found in our Constitution. A pure Democracy relies on the vote of every citizen on every issue or candidate. The ignorance of the masses (often manipulated by the Oligarchy) literally unravels the Rule of Just Law. Democracy, proved by history, leads to Socialism, which is a mere stepping stone to Marxist Communism.
I tell my students that it may be correct to call our government a Democratic Constitutional Republic, using the first adjective to describe the power embodied in We the People. But we were not designed as a Democracy. Majority rule is antithetical to our Constitution!
This confusion has served the Oligarchy well. By convincing the populace that we are a Democracy, the Democrats have succeeded in installing Socialism in our government. (Vladimir Lenin said, "Democracy is the road to Socialism.")
The plan is working perfectly. As the foundations of our Constitutional Republic are dismantled the Oligarchs are replacing them with the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto.
Who and what are you voting for? Are your votes promoting and preserving Republican principles as designed in our Constitution? Or are your votes helping to dismantle our Republic?
There's no middle ground.

The Fast Road to Communism
I work as an Intermediate School Librarian. Part of my job is to read the books in my circulation, especially those that may use themes or language that are inappropriate for students ages 10-12. My current reading selection is "A Night Divided", by Jennifer A. Nielsen, about a 12 year old girl and her family who became separated when the Berlin Wall is erected.
The Berlin Wall was built by Russia to punish Germany for losing WWII, inflicting their oppressive Democratic Socialism upon citizens of East Berlin.
As any book about that era between 1961 and 1989 will reveal, the Wall was a three-dimensional solid barrier dividing the Western Democratic reconstruction from the Communist despotism of East Germany. Freedom and Subjugation lived side by side for 28 years. People risked their lives and the lives of their families to escape the brutality, poverty and indoctrination of the East Berlin government.
At first, the Soviets pretended to serve the needs of the East Berliners and "protect" them from the "Fascism" of Capitalism growing in West Berlin. Too soon, citizens suffered under the heavy hand of the Stasi - the security service of the newly-formed German Democratic Republic (known as the GDR, which was neither Democratic nor Republican). These officers spied on citizens, brutally punishing any signs of dissent. Because of the lack of free market competition, East Berlin began suffering from shortages nearly as severe as the rationing of food and supplies during WWII. Since the GDR outlawed individualism, it was impossible to improve one's situation through industry or creativity, as everything legally belonged to the State.
This describes the reality of Democratic Socialism! You can put a friendly face on it, but it's still the direct road to despotic Marxist Communism, defined as "a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of communism."
Bernie Sanders, Democratic Socialist running for U.S. President
Vladimir Lenin said, "Democracy and Socialism are inseparable." Despots know that the best way to institute Communism is to convince Democrats to vote for Socialism. Communism is pure deception, fooling the serfs into believing that everything will be shared equally. Communism, in actuality, proven historically, is government by elite oligarchs who force the populace to work themselves to death in constant deprivation for the promise of a share in what is left over after the leaders get the best of everything.
I am stunned and sickened by the candidacy of an avowed Democratic Socialist. Progressive Democrats are foisting Socialism on the U.S. as quickly as possible, but for Bernie Sanders to garner half or more of votes by Democrats proves that the "transformation" Barack Obama promised has been more successful than anyone expected.

Death Knell of a Nation
The 2016 Presidential election is a referendum on the American people. The proposal put before the electorate this year asks, "Do you want the United States of America to be the Constitutional Republic it was designed to be, or do you want our nation to continue to be fundamentally transformed into a Democratic Socialist State?"
In the general election of 2012, voters had the opportunity to reject the usurpation of power by Barack Obama, who had firmly established his commitment to replace democratic representation with dictatorial pronouncements that flagrantly violate the Constitution in order to further his Marxist agenda. Instead, with the generous help of Democrat voter fraud, our nation's citizens willingly extended Obama's subversive reign.
I nearly wept with shame over this populist act of treason. I concluded that the re-election of a representative so antithetical to our founding principles was a direct result of the widespread depth of civic ignorance. How could voters know that the "Affordable Care Act" was an explicit violation of the Commerce Clause, and 9th and 10th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution? Our citizens have little, if any, knowledge of the contents of our founding document, especially after decades of political and pedagogical Progressives steadily shifting the Overton Window leftward. Proof of this rampant Leftism is demonstrated by the hordes of Democrats supporting an avowed Socialist for President!
Years of hearing Liberals pronounce outright lies with straight faces have numbed Americans to deception, because we are no longer grounded in the principles of Truth. When populist leaders say, "I never had sex with that woman", or "The Benghazi attack was caused by a hateful video", or "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, and your health insurance premiums will go down, and 30 million Americans will finally have health-care insurance", or "Unemployment is under 6%" (because we've decided to stop counting the long-term jobless!), or the inability to declare Radical Islam as our terrorist enemy, all without consistent and concerted voices of rebuttal and rebuke from a majority of the citizenry, Establishment or media - what can we expect?
I understand the visceral reponse to years of unconstitutional actions by our government representatives. Many Americans think that the outright rejection of political remedies could be our only solution. Sadly, the cult following of corporate mogul Donald Trump is just another symptom of civic ignorance. Trump supporters are willing to exchange the crony capitalism of current governmental oligarchs for a candidate who promises just another form of Plutocracy, instead of restoring our founding principles of Limited Government and Individual Liberty.
2016 is a watershed year. This election will determine whether a remnant of Patriots remain that will save our Constitutional Republic. The only Presidential candidate offering hope to restore our foundations of freedom is Ted Cruz.
Do not ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for We the People.

Will We Keep It?
What do the years 1787 and 2017 have in common?
On September 17, 1787, our nation's Founders, Framers, and colonies' governors gave us a Constitutional Republic. They fought a bloody seven year war to gain independence from British rule, fighting the Redcoats again in 1812 in their challenge to our newfound freedom.
The first-generation United States' citizens firmly rejected Monarchy, Theocracy, Anarchy, Democracy, Socialism, Communism, Totalitarianism and Oligarchy to establish a Constitutional Republic (a representative form of government founded on the rule of just law, commissioned by the consent of the governed).
Today, we have an avowed Socialist, a lying Democrat unable to define the difference between Democracy and Socialism (because there is none), an egotistical Oligarch, Republican Elitists, and one Conservative Constitutionalist who has spent his career fighting the Establishment in Washington, D.C. to preserve, protect, and defend the Rule of Law in our frail Republic.
If Ted Cruz is not inaugurated on January 20, 2017, our nation will either continue to be fundamentally transformed into Marxism, or take the radical Left turn directly onto the highway to Totalitarianism.
We are in the midst of the Second American Revolution. Will we fight for Liberty, or willingly trade it for the illusion of Security, proving ourselves unworthy of either?
"Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." - John Adams
Do you really want to tell your children and grandchildren that we were the generation that failed to keep our Republic?
I don't.

Because the Constitution
Why have I endorsed Ted Cruz from the beginning of his campaign? Because we have a Constitution and we need to use it.
When Obama was elected in 2008, I was stunned. How could We the People have willingly invited a virtual unknown with the middle name of Hussein into our White House? (And no, my discomfort had nothing to do with his color.)
When he was re-elected after 4 years of division and economic and geopolitical disaster, I was heartbroken. The citizens of a Constitutional Republic had re-elected a man who was making good on his promise to "fundamentally" transform our nation. The President of the United States had made it abundantly clear that he had no respect for our Rule of Law, yet the People had chosen him again! That's when I realized that we were losing our Republic. Not because of Barack Hussein Obama, but because We the People were failing in our duty to protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The President, and every other representative work for US! How can we expect them to fulfill their oath of office if We the People don't even know what our employees are supposed to be doing? After a few months, when the shock, disappointment and depression started to wear off, I made a commitment. The only way we could hope to save our Constitutional Republic was to teach the next generation what they were at risk of losing. So, since 2012, I have spent every other year teaching 5th and 6th graders about Our Nation's Foundations - the Constitutional Principles of our Republic. I turn the Learning Center of the Intermediate School where I work as a paraprofessional Librarian, into an Americana museum. Every class comes to the Library every other week. I give them a lesson about Our Nation's Foundations as I "build" a giant meme on the wall, describing the Constitutional Principles of our government that looks like a Federal building. I have 4 interactive bulletin boards for students to interact with factual and opinion questions for prizes. I've recently added QR codes to my displays so that students can use iPads to activate relevant multimedia websites that offer more information. I've already started covering the Library windows that face the main hall with graphics and current events about the Democratic and Republican candidates for the 2016 Presidential election. Students have no idea which candidate or political party I prefer, but I reward them for sharing their own opinions because I want them to become confident in using their First Amendment rights, secure in the knowledge that opinions, by their very nature cannot be wrong, and disagreement need not cause offense. I make a big deal when a student shares his/her opinion on government or politics, bestowing upon them the title of Patriot. I want them to realize what a profound responsibility and privilege they have to preserve, protect and defend their Constitutional Republic.
After the election, I will tell my students my choice for President - Ted Cruz. Because he is the candidate that knows our Constitution by heart and consults our Rule of Law for every decision, without compromise.

Time for Truth
A caller to the Rush Limbaugh radio show on December 2, 2015 made a brilliant observation. He said that the Left is offended by people like Limbaugh and Cruz because they are truth-tellers. Rush took it further by suggesting that Progressives have so thoroughly replaced reality with their own deceptions that they can't recognize Truth anymore!
How else can we explain the latest delusions of Harry Reid, who accuses Republicans of being the party of racism? Or President Obama, who, mere weeks after the Paris attack, shocked his host country of France during the Climate Change Conference by repeating the lie that mass shootings don't happen anywhere but the U.S.?
This is a moral failing that endangers us all! 1 John 1:8 identifies those who cannot embody Truth as those who cannot recognize their own failings. Galatians 4:16 accuses unbelievers of being offended by the Truth. 2 Timothy 3:13 says evildoers and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Liberal leaders are creating a fantasy land in their own minds, expecting us all to buy into their dystopian delusions. No wonder the U.S. economy, morality, and geopolitical influence have been crippled - the Progressive agenda is based on the workings of delusional psychoses!
How else could they think that printing money to shore up the stock market, neglecting to count over 90,000 potential workers in the unemployment numbers, defending organ donations after infanticide, equating homosexual unions with holy matrimony, blaming guns for murders, trusting Iran to stop their nuclear weapons program, blaming Israel for unrest in the Middle East, preaching that Climate Change is more of a national security threat than Islamic terrorism, etc, are grounded in anything that resembles Truth?!

The Progressive Utopia
U.S. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was invited to speak to a gathering in Seattle, Washington, "the most progressive city" in the nation. That's when his own ideology slapped him upside the head.
You see, Progressivism (a "purer" form of Democracy) preaches equality of outcomes regardless of circumstance, with everyone having an unfettered voice in government. Sounds lovely (until the screaming starts).
Here's a glimpse of reality. Video: A Progressive Utopia
I couldn't have illustrated it better myself.
What can you expect after nearly eight years of fomenting economic, geopolitical, and moral decay, coupled with relentless class and racial warfare, under the Obama administration?
And this, dear children, is why we can't have nice things under Democratic Socialism.
Our Founders, in their divinely inspired wisdom, gave us a Constitutional Republic, in which the People retain the power over limited government, electing representatives accountable under the restraint of a strict separation and balance of powers. Monarchy wasn't the only form of government they found revolting. Thomas Jefferson was a student of historical world governments. Pure Democracy, like pure Communism, is a fantasy, unrealized in this world (unless you count the bloody tyrannical dictatorships that they became).
Yet Progressives keep pushing it under the guise of Democratic Socialism. Why?
Being a student of history, Jefferson and the other Founders knew why. Because, in the real world, Democratic Socialism is the user-friendly term for Oligarchy. Definition: "a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few." This arrangement is best obtained by the advice and consent of those governed. In other words, if the masses can be duped into begging for it, well, someone should oblige! Get a boisterous, unemployed minority so worked up about "social justice" that they wreak havoc in the streets and the majority will demand drastic measures. And who better to "restore order" than the elite, who know best how to mold and shape the masses into demanding bigger government ruled by elites?!
The plan is working perfectly.
Be careful what you ask for.
