The Constitution Must be Destroyed!

By Armando Simón

If our nation is ever taken over, it will be taken over from within.”

—James Madison

            The 250th anniversary of America should be more than just fireworks and barbeques. It should be a time for reflection. And learning. And buckling up.

Leftist totalitarians, though having a visceral hatred for America, its history, its holidays, and its heroes, their hatred goes far deeper: for the Constitution itself. The Constitution must be eliminated to be replaced by a government over which they, and they alone, will have power, a government which will then implement a series of mandates that have proven to be anathema to every living human being throughout history, said principles having been implemented at various points in history and have resulted in suffering and catastrophe.

The US Supreme Court has been in their sights for some time. In Virginia, we recently saw them floating a plan to mutilate their Supreme Court. Not only has the Supreme Court been under threats from Democrats, the entire Constitution must be discarded, say progressives from Hillary Clinton to Bill Moyers to liberal professors and entertainers to Bill Maher to Stacey Abrams to journalists to lawyers (mind you, all leftists). They pour abuse on it, calling it anachronistic, obsolete, outdated, out of touch with the times (previously, they referred to it as “a living document,” a euphemism meaning it had to be altered). When written, it did not address the concerns—actually, the obsessions—of today. It was also written by white, heterosexual men. No women were involved, no homosexuals, no blacks, no Indians, no transgenders, no Muslims. Worse, it prohibits the government from openly persecuting and attacking those people, associations and institutions liberal fanatics abhor. Even free speech is protected! The whole thing is intolerable! It must be shredded and rewritten, they say. Or burnt. Or at the very least, ignored. I encourage the reader to read the attacks to appreciate how they sanitize it.

On numerous occasions, Democrats have salivated over legislating additional seats to a presumed defenseless Court (“packing”). But that would be Congressional overreach and the Supreme Court could invalidate that legislation as being unConstitutional. After all, SCOTUS has previously passed judgment on Executive overreach and Congressional overreach in other matters.

Perspective

After the fraudulent 2020 election, if not for the Constitution, with its rigid separation of powers, we would unquestionably be at present much worse off than we are. History shows us that once totalitarians gained control of a government, either peacefully or by force of arms, consolidation of their rule followed swiftly, the establishment politicians being too stupid and/or too cowardly and/or too confused to put up any resistance. During the Biden-Politburo administration (as they called themselves), we saw the Constitution, with its Bill of Rights, serving as the main obstacle to absolute power.

The Constitution stood in their way.

That is why anyone elected or appointed to government positions always has had to state, “Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC; that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter: So help you God?”

But, like Robert Bearce asks: “Do they really mean it?”

It is obvious that the Democrat sonsofabitches don’t.

As can be seen from reading the Federalist Papers, the Founding Fathers studied and learned the lessons of history and they came to the conclusion that the government they were creating—regardless of what form it would eventually take—in spite of all the checks and balances, in spite the Bill of Rights, and in spite of the country being composed of individual states instead of a monolith entity, they knew that the government could possibly become authoritarian. They, and those men who followed, warned of this repeatedly and for many more decades thereafter the warning was repeated. Washington, for one, pointed out “The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism.”

My wife and I have made America our adoptive country. We have an intense love and respect for it. We hope that dark day never comes.

Likewise, the Founding Fathers warned us that, as a result of possible increasing authoritarianism, future revolutions would also become inevitable and absolutely necessary.

Remember what Twain said, “Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”
