Sol Bloom Quote

“Q. What is meant by the term “constitution”?
A. A constitution embodies the fundamental principles of a government. Our constitution, adopted by the sovereign power, is amendable by that power only. To the constitution all laws, executive actions, and judicial decisions must conform, as it is the creator of the powers exercised by the departments of government.
Q. Why has our Constitution been classed as “rigid”?
A. The term “rigid” is used in opposition to “flexible” because the provisions are in a written document which cannot be legally changed with the same ease and in the same manner as ordinary laws. The British constitution, which is unwritten, can, on the other hand be changed overnight by an act of Parliament. ...
Q. Where, in the Constitution, is there mention of education?
A. There is none; education is a matter reserved for the States. ...
Q. Does the Constitution give us our rights and liberties?
A. No, it does not, it only guarantees them. The people had all their rights and liberties before they made the Constitution. The Constitution was formed, among other purposes, to make the people’s liberties secure -- secure not only as against foreign attack but against oppression by their own government. They set specific limits upon their national government and upon the States, and reserved to themselves all powers that they did not grant. The Ninth Amendment declares: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

WOW, that I could comment on and, rate this quote a multiple of times. We hold this truth to be self evident ! The occupying statist theocracy that now infests this once land of the free and home of the brave would shake if this truth got out.

And there you have it...the Constitution does not create our rights, it gaurantees them under law. Our rights were granted by nature or God, however you prcieve it...and the Constitution is not a "living document" as the usurpers and communists would have you believe. It is an absolute. Restore the Republic and Abolish the Federal Reserve.

Wonderful quote. Is there any doubt in anyones mind that that the fine folk in Washington ignore and despise the Constitution. It's simply a bump in the road to their socialist agenda.

    And there is only ONE MAN that is running on restoration of the Constitution: RON PAUL. Restore America 2012 there is a secret pact on media disallow him coverage, wall street ignores him, and the GOP wants the same man for president we have had the last 60 years, but with a new name; and there is one federal reserve puppet... go figure..public has scrambled gray matter. Register republican so you can vote for Paul in the primary. You can change again after the primary. This could be our last chance to save our republic. Join this rEVOLution today. Time is running out. NH is moving its primary up possibly to the first week in Dec.

    The Constitution is moribund, the most vital section ignored is Art. 1, Section 10: "No state shall make any Thing but gold and silver coins a tender in payment of debt." There is no branch of government tendering anything in payment of debt. No branch of government pays anyone for anything. This is slavery, Further, this section reads: "No state shall pass any laws impairing the obligations of contracts." This proscribes zoning laws, license laws, rent controls and legal tender laws. The sole function of legal tender is to take labor and property sans payment. Welcome to the new world odor!

    ALL problems come from Freemasonry whose god is Lucifer and whose goal is "the unification of all races, religions and creeds." Ron Paul is a Freemason and surely all candidates are the same. The link here will give you an education on Freemasonry whose members included Stalin, Mao Tse Tong, Fedel Castro, Bill Clinton. George Bush, and Obama, The 5 pointed star is the ubiquitous symbol of Freemasonry. When East Germany went belly up, I saw their flag bearing a compass another symbol of Freemasonry, Quoting Elijah Muhammad in When The Word Is Given, by Louis Lomax: "There are three and one half million indirect believers in Islam, those higher Masons called Shriners. When one reaches the 33 degree in Masonry, one is no longer called a Mason. One is then called a Muslim son and comes under the teachings and prayers of Islam. We in Islam do not acribe sonship to the almighty god, we are his spiritual children but god has no son." "He who denieth the father and the son is antichrist." I John 2:24

    I sure wish there was a way to make Congress follow the Constitution -- seems like a glaring fault to have Congress manage itself. The Grand Jury is actually the way to hold our officials accountable and to end unconstitutional agencies and programs.
