We are a “Do It Yourself” form of self-governance. The U.S. Constitution is a document of absolute authority guaranteeing individual rights.
As a Republic we elect those in whom we have placed our trust to transact business on our behalf.
The true power is in the ‘People’ first, the U.S. Constitution second, and from there, flows into the various branches of government, while some defined powers flow to the States.
A Faith Based Conservative is a Citizen who frames his or her ideas, actions and deeds based upon a foundation of Judaic/Christian values. The theological base of the Citizenry is of less importance if the national foundation remains the same. Our national decisions must be predicated upon consulting God first, the U.S. Constitution second, and lastly those we have empowered to do our bidding. Based upon what God says, keeping in harmony with the U.S. Constitution and giving guidance to our elected officials, we will grow healthy as a nation, not just progress for progression sake.
We The People can change, the U.S. Constitution can change and we can change those we have placed in power. Furthermore, our basis can be altered from a Judaic/Christian foundation to Islamic, Human Secular and any combination of governmental or theological frameworks.
However, the further we stray from the original premise set forth by our Founding Fathers further the core of our nation becomes more divergent, yielding a different national persona. These changes I speak of can manifest at a very fast pace, as per the change witnessed from 1933 to 1945 in Germany, the results were disastrous to the world.
Therefore, with God as our master, the U.S. Constitution as our road map we can empower those we have placed in authority.
Are we a nation of individuals, do we choose to grow and stay the course set before us in 1776?
What Say Ye?
