Quote of the Day - Allen West on the U.S. Constitution

Comment Up
"Today we remember and honor the United States Constitution. God bless French political writer Charles Montesquieu for inspiring our Founding Fathers – James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay – to create the system of governing philosophy for the longest existing constitutional Republic.

However, let this day serve as a call to action for true American Patriots to protect and preserve our rule of law, our Constitution. Our legacy, our American exceptionalism is rooted in the immutable words of truth that begin, 'We the People of the United States…” Read Dr. Larry Arnn’s book The Founder’s Key and Mark Levin‘s The Liberty Amendments and join with me in the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and bear true faith and allegiance to the same.”

~ Allen West

Here in Lake Worth, we have a glaring reminder of the little importance this administration puts towards the Constitution as nothing is on the Agenda. Instead, we will hear a presentation and a proclamation tonight on International Talk like a Pirate Day. Wasn't it pirates that stole our vote in March?

Aaarg! "Ye smell like ye been swimmin' in the bilge!"

  1. Happy Constitution Day!

    Pirate stuff is a great poker tell!
    Explains their ignorance or arrogance for the law and how "Null and Void" (Ex post facto laws) are not legal according to our rep's OATH!

    They are prohibited by Article I, Section 10, Clause 1, of the U.S. Constitution. An ex post facto law is considered a hallmark of tyranny because it deprives people of a sense of what behavior will or will not be punished and allows for random punishment at the whim of those in power."

    "The prohibition of ex post facto laws was an imperative in colonial America. The Framers of the Constitution understood the importance of such a prohibition, considering the historical tendency of government leaders to abuse power."

    As Alexander Hamilton observed, "[I]t is easy for men … to be zealous advocates for the rights of the citizens when they are invaded by others, and as soon as they have it in their power, to become the invaders themselves."

    The desire to thwart abuses of power also inspired the Framers of the Constitution to prohibit bills of attainder, which are laws that inflict punishment on named individuals or on easily ascertainable members of a group without the benefit of a trial.

    Both ex post facto laws and bills of attainder deprive those subject to them of due process of law—that is, of notice and an opportunity to be heard before being deprived of life, liberty, or property."
