Would Be King

[nw_hunter]

Here are Chuck Baldwin's (Constitutional Presidential Candidate in 2008) thoughts on the US Government, and another man, that would be king.


Like most of America's founders, Washington distrusted government in general
and despised big government in particular--even though people were willing
to make him government's imperial ruler. Listen to the Father of our
Country:

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it
is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

Unfortunately, there hasn't been a man of George Washington's caliber in the
White House for many a moon. Instead of distrusting and limiting the central
government, the vast majority of modern Presidents have completely ignored
the constitutional role of the Presidency, and have sought to expand the
authority of the executive branch of the federal government to proportions
never allowed in the Constitution or envisioned by its creators. And Barack
Obama is following the example of his predecessors by continuing this
malevolent model (with increased rapidity, I might add).
 It seems that every day another example of executive arrogance
and usurpation of power takes place.

Given the lack of genuine humility and character of America's President--and
the unwillingness of Congress and the Supreme Court to restrain his
unconstitutional propensities--it is left to the states and the People to
hold this would-be king in check.

All true, but the States tried this with Lincoln and failed, and the people now a days, have not the heart.
The States will try vainly in court rooms, with the Federal Government trumping everything, while lawyers site case law, and all the while, ignore the Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
The people on the other hand will sit around and think of their next COMPROMISE, when they vote. Only a few will say: Enough is Enough, and stand their ground.
