Reclaiming American Liberty
Restoring
Checks and Balances on the federal government!
I
have often been asked, “Why are you people so hung-up on State’s
Rights?” First, we love this country that our Founding
Fathers gave us and the vast majority of those men, loved State’s
Rights; second, I believe in limited government, that is, a
government where no one person or group of people holds all the
power of government.
Possessing a Biblical worldview, our Founding Fathers understood
that sinful man cannot be trusted with power over his fellow man.
Therefore they gave us a Federal government rich in checks and
balances. This system of checks and balances was used to prevent
one group from abusing the rights and interests of another group.
Today most people think of checks and balances in the context of the
Federal government (Executive, judicial, and legislative). Yet for
the Founding Fathers the major Check and balance within our
system of government was the division of delegated power of the
Federal government and all other power retained by the people
of each sovereign states—thus we have State’s Rights.
In
1798 Thomas Jefferson and James Madison wrote and the Legislatures
of Kentucky and Virginia adopted the famous Kentucky and Virginia
Resolves. In these resolves Jefferson and Madison clearly
demonstrate that it is a function of the people of each state to
force the Federal government to live within the limitations of the
Constitution.
Jefferson and Madison point out that the Federal
government cannot and must not be allowed to be the final judge of
its delegated powers or else Federal tyranny would result. Federal
tyranny!! Now do you understand why I feel so strong about State’s
Rights?
For decades the Republican Party has
preached "limited government" but practiced "out of
control government." The Republican Party has cowered before "political
correctness" and for decades has become part of the problem, not
the solution.
We can continue allowing political
correctness to control the Republican Party or we can return to the
Principles Upon Which Our Country was Founded. The Republican Party
under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln destroyed States Rights and
we will not and can not begin to restore sanity to the government
until that fact is debated, recognized and corrected.
Let The Debate Begin!
