The Constitution gives the federal government the power and authority to defend our international border.
But what happens when the government decides it doesn’t want to defend those borders anymore?
That is the war we are now engaged in. A war between a state that wants to secure an international border to protect its citizens and a federal government that does not.
This is outrageous. I am sure the Founding Fathers never considered the possibility that our federal government would decide to stop defending our border, and so they did not anticipate the states having to defend it all by themselves and then being sued by their own government and told to stop. States being told to leave the borders unprotected. How insane is that?
“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty” is the inscription in the photo above.
I took this picture during my trip to the Tax Day Rally in Washington D.C.
The inscription is a warning.
An entire statue was etched out of solid stone by someone who needed its warning to survive for generations.
It is a warning that government will ceaselessly attempt to consume all of your freedoms, and that only through our eternal vigilance, and our actions, can government can be prevented from destroying those freedoms.
Remember that the Constitution only provided the federal government with as many powers as you can count on your fingers…all other powers were left to the states and to the people. This was done specifically to slowdown the inevitable and gradual centralization of powers away from the states and the people and towards a central federal government. A process the Founding Fathers knew was unstoppable.
Since then, the federal government has taken control of thousands of powers they were never authorized to have by the Constitution. Why? Because we allowed it. We have chosen to give our government more and more power, in exchange for our freedoms.
The Arizona immigration bill is not about illegal immigrants, it is about the war between the Federal government and the States.
Arizona is only attempting to enforce federal laws that already exist, that our own federal government has chosen not to enforce.
Patriot citizens and States rally behind Arizona drawing the battle line with the federal government…
In agreeing with Arizona, five states have presented similar legislation.
Our government does not care.
Twenty states are considering similar legislation.
Our government does not care.
74% of Americans support the major aspects of this law (see graph) 
Our government does not care.
Our government is no longer ours. But are we vigilant? Will we do something about this consumption of our freedoms and the destruction of the Constitution?
Our politicians in Washington have a dream, a vision of how this country should be setup, how it should be managed and how it should be run. Their vision does not include you.
The Founding Fathers were extremely concerned that in the future, any government they created would attempt to usurp more and more authority from the States and the People. Why? Because they knew every government that has ever been created, no matter how altruistic at birth, eventually reached a level of size and corruption that only a bloody revolution with piles of dead citizens could reverse.
Government getting larger and taking away more freedoms from its citizens is as natural, as inevitable and as historically accurate as gravity.
To quote from an excerpt from the National Constitution Center:
“If there is a lesson in all of this it is that our Constitution is neither a self-actuating nor a self-correcting document. It requires the constant attention and devotion of all citizens. There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created.
His answer was: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
The brevity of that response should not cause us to under-value its essential meaning: democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they are also absolutely dependent upon the active and informed involvement of the people for their continued good health.”
Our Republic is under attack by a government parasite intent on growing larger and consuming all of our resources until nothing is left and the host is dead. I’m not being dramatic. This is a fact. Either you help do something about it, or you should start educating your children on how great this country once was and how free we once were, and prepare them to live among the ruins of what it has become.
