In Romans 13, we are instructed to submit to that which is
in authority over us. You would
naturally infer from this that it means those people in positions of authority
such as government officials, law enforcement and judges; however, it is plain
to see, for anyone who bothers to study the foundations of our nation, that the
Constitution is the supreme authority of the land. It is also common knowledge that the
Judeo/Christian principals, espoused by our founding fathers, are the basis of
the Constitution. That is why our rights
are guaranteed by God and not man. It is
obvious then, that anything in conflict with those Judeo/Christian principals
and the Constitution is in rebellion to the supreme authority of the
nation. It is my opinion, that all
those, who in taking their oath of office, swear to uphold and defend the
Constitution, but fail to do so, should be removed from office. This should be
done by voting them out, or if the breach is severe enough by impeachment. Malfeasance in office, which is what failure
to uphold and defend the Constitution is, is a severe offence and should be on
the same level as treason. When we
render unto Cesar, the Cesar in the United States of America is the
Constitution. “America has a
wonderful spiritual and constitutional legacy. It is no surprise that
Secularists, Atheists, Leftists, and Liberals have relentlessly attacked every
aspect of that heritage. They must sever citizens from a knowledge of their
true history if they are to succeed in moving the country in a new
direction. Such attacks are to be
expected, but what is surprising that some who would be described as
conservative Christians have now joined with them and become leaders in the
attack on America’s rich Christian heritage. They are trying to convince
Christians not only that America
does not have a Biblical foundation but specifically that the Founding Fathers
were largely pagans who represented the spirit of the Anti-Christ. They further
assert that Christians should not be involved in the political arena or similar
areas of culture. It is time for God-fearing Americans to become better
informed about America ’s
remarkable moral, religious, and constitutional foundations and to reject and
aggressively rebut efforts of those who would attempt to undermine the positive
aspects of America ’s
extraordinary heritage – a heritage that has provided unprecedented blessings,
and a heritage for which we should be humbly grateful to Almighty God. ”[1]
If there is a question of interpretation about any part of
the Constitution (including the Bill of Rights), the original intentions can be
found in the writings of the founding fathers. There is even a modern language
version of the Federalist Papers available today by the title “The
Original Argument: The Federalists' Case for the Constitution, Adapted for the
21st Century “. These documents are the only true basis for court decisions,
and any deviation from this, such as case law, Sharia Law and international
law, as the basis for decisions by the courts has no place in our
courtrooms. Any deviation such as stated
is unconstitutional and therefore illegal.
Shouldn’t this also be on the same level as treason?
When I moved to Morgan County, Ohio, back in the eighties,
I was told our county judge often found in favor of “justice” rather than
adhering to the strict letter of the law.
We often see this kind of thinking in the court decisions of today. I should point out that the Sheriff and the
county judge were escorted, by federal officials, from the courthouse, in
handcuffs, because of their alleged involvement in the local drug trade. I don’t know the outcome of the trials. Protecting us from all enemies, both foreign
and domestic, is the duty of all officials, from the meter maid to the
president. There are a lot of officials
who should be in great fear of retribution.
It is obvious that pride, greed and power are more important to some of
them than serving the people based on the oaths they took. A responsible citizen will labor to remove
those who act in this manner. We are at
all times instructed to pray for those in authority over us. We must also remember that faith without
works is dead.
