imperfections. (Think Hugo Chavezs secret police)

Thomas Jefferson foresaw this problem and wrote: "The two enemies of the people are criminals

and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will

not become the legalized version of the first."

He knew that man will never be able to be perfected. He knew that if the people (you) gave

someone too much power, eventually that power would corrupt that person and ultimately, thenation. This is the sole reason the Founders established the Constitution and other

documents limiting the power of the government.

When Obama says that he wants to "fundamentally transform America" he is saying

that the Constitution is notgood enough. It doesnt represent hisversion of what this country

is or should be. This is dangerous and radical because he aims that we the people will no

longer be the rule of law. Instead, we will beruled by men: the educated elite. They will have

the ultimate power to grant you yourrights. (And take them away) There will be no God-given

Natural Rights.

Wake Up You Sleepy Giant!

Progressivism is destroying our Constitution and our country! Progressives have infiltrated

both political parties. That's why we have had the "choice between two evils in the last

several Presidential elections. Both Presidential candidates have been Progressives! John

McCain is an example of a modern day Progressive. He idolizes Teddy Roosevelt, an early

20th century Republican Progressive. Progressives like Roosevelt often saw the government

as the judge and jury of the nations morals. A portion of Roosevelts 1906 message was

devoted restraining polygamy. He proposed a Constitutional amendment placing the

jurisdiction over marriage and divorce in the hands of the national Congress. In Roosevelts

words:Surely there is nothing so vitally essential to the welfare of the nation, nothing around which

the nation should so bend itself to throw every safeguard, as the home life of the average citizen

When home ties are loosened; when men and women cease to regard a worthy family life, with all its

duties fully performed, and all its responsibilities lived up to, as the life best worth living; then evil days

for the commonwealth are at hand.

McCain is simply a more modern and disguised Roosevelt. Barack Obama is the more radical

end of Progressivism, which derives itself from the idea known as anti-colonialism. He may

disguise his intentions with phrases like fundamentally transform and spreading the wealth

around is good for everybody, (yeah, like Milos syndicate is good for everybody) but his true

intentions for America are quite clear. The history of anti-colonialism and how it fits in toBarack Obamas policies will be explained in the next article by the Founders Keepers.

How Can WE Stop This?

By becoming politically active. Join The 912 Project or your local Libertarian movement. Don't

sit back and apathetically watch the destruction of America.
