The Emerald Rose

With all of the manufactured “chaos”, false news, and other (let’s face it) IGNORANT CRAP, in the air, we need a basic presentation and discussion of the EIGHT (8) articles or segments of our original constitution, before we can understand, discuss, or otherwise even begin contemplating changing or amending, or just plain “throwing them out”.

Let’s begin with a few comments from me.

1.) It has lasted  230 years since it was originally presented to the Constitutional Convention and ratified by the States, AND their people by majority

2.) The whole “aggravation” of the past 12 years was  not the fault of “WE the people” but THEM the “career politicians”, lobbyists, and other “suck-ups” who are simply assuming we are the “Sheep”, and not “We the People” It’s OUR country,,……THEY NEED TO BE SENT HOME!! NOE or ASAP!

3.) If you have never read the Constitution, or IF you “THINK” you know what it is, and what it means, or what it says……either SIT DOWN AND READ IT, OR SHUT THE HELL UP! (You can’t talk about “I KNOW”, if you heard it in a “bar” conversation or just “heard it” from someone else)

So much for my thoughts, now let’s look at what the “FOUNDING FATHERS” really had to say,…….then tell me where they “missed the point”, or just plain “don’t understand” what the basics of “GOVERNING” a country are all about.

I. The Preamble to the Constitution, (or the combined REASON we, the disrespected people of the late 18th centuryfelt compelled to write this document.) says;

“We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Let’s look closer at the WORDS they used, the order in which they put them and EXACTLY what they meant to them.

a) “We the People of the United States,….” it started from a positive tone and a self awareness that “WE THE PEOPLE”, not someone or something else, from “the United States of America”,(or a “United Nations”) BUT, a CLEAR definition of solidarity and intention of Ultimate unity,….and subsequently defined the specific area of unity of effort.

b) “in order to form a more perfect Union”,….basically saying “you’re not paying serious attention to us, ‘the Colonies”, for what it is, what it has accomplished, and what it can become, what it has already contributed to you.. and what it has created, how much we have suffered, and sacrificed, on your behalf,… but not as an independent PEOPLE.”, and that recognition and support, which you have NOT provided us, as British citizens,….as well as RESPECT!  We are truly a ‘bounty’ for the king,….yet you treat us as ‘chattel’, or less.

c) “insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare,…”. Basically our commitment to the greater good of the entire British Empire,and the world in general, which you have also failed to meaningfully provide us.

d) “and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity,…..” We are not doing this for ourselves, but for our families and our successors,….for their successors and beyond, into the entire future we can provide them based on our future labors, and efforts on their behalf. Not on the “whim” of your Majesty, nor any of His/Her successors, but by our own efforts, of our own will, and beliefs!

e.) “,,,,do ordain, and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” This is the collaboration of many, the feeling and righteous feelings of even more, and the final, joint decision of ALL of the undersigned “Americans” ready to support and defend this concept, it’s governing documents, and it’s tenants of being with our life’s blood.
