Dear Friends,
It seems to me, there is no more damning thing a government can say about itself and it’s intentions, than to call people who avow support for the Constitution… terrorists. If we all agree on the definition of terrorist, someone who uses personal violence against innocent people to force political change on a people against their will, then we can conclude, the elite believe constitutionalists will have to resort to violence to force the government to follow the Constitution, now or at some time in the near future. Since the political elite know what their future plans are, better than anyone else, it is not illogical to conclude, the political elite plan on abusing the privilege of governing and disregard some element of the Constitution, or the entirety of it. Else why worry about what someone who is an avowed constitutionalist does? That they do, must give us pause.
Since the Constitution, not only of the United States but of every country that has one, defines the nature, role and powers of the government, people who are avowed supporters of the Constitution must, by definition, be supporters of that constitution’s system of government. To claim otherwise is absurd. There are those that do not favor their Constitution for whatever reason, usually they seek unlimited power, rarely do they seek a better standard of living for humanity. It follows then, that those who do not support the Constitution should be considered more of a threat, unless those that do not support the Constitution… are in the government.
Is there another explanation, why the political elite in the US today, are so worried about what people, who support the American system of government wholeheartedly, are up to? Perhaps the American people have become disconnected with logic? No, if that were true the economy would immediately breakdown, as logic is a fundamental requisite of the marketplace. Maybe the American people plan a coup against the ruling Elite? That is not likely either, the American people have at the elected elite every two years, why not wait another year and avoid violence and destruction. Perchance the American people have a distorted notion of what the Constitution means? Unlikely, the American Constitution is written in English and the American people are literate, despite a tragically high illiteracy rate, this cannot explain why the political elite fear citizens that honor the Constitution. None of these possibilities will do.
It is not possible for a normal human being to read the intentions of another. Unless there is an actual mind reader found this is not even arguable. I cannot Know your intentions and you cannot Know mine. We discern what they probably are, by words, actions and history. Of the three, words are the most misleading, especially when they are used to target someone. There is an old saw, “When you point a finger at someone else… three fingers are pointing back at you.” The Elite of every caste should take heed. Their making ad hominem attacks on constitutionalists says far more about their own intentions than it ever can about someone else’s.
It would seem the rational conclusion is, at least some in government, those that make these ad hominem attacks on constitutionalists, have intentions to legislate or otherwise rule out of Constitutional bounds. No other conclusion can be reached. This should be very concerning, not only to every American, but to every human being on the planet. If the US becomes a tyranny… how long before every country on Earth is under a despot? How many generations will it take to get another chance? If the political elite show they despise the Constitution, then I say, vote them out and get someone else, someone who doesn’t consider Our Constitution a problem and therefore constitutionalists a threat.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
