For the record obama is bi-racial and I would say he leans toward arabic vice african. Not stirring th pot up, merely popinting out the level of deception that this 'man' has gone through to buy the U.S. presidency.
Black N Right said:They would be "Okay we risked everything we had to write and institute the Constitution and none of you even know it!!! Are you friggin kidding me?" Of course, I would try to explain to them that I am instituting a Constitution class on A Black Conservative Digest and that people are starting to sign up for it. To which they would reply, "Great! How many?" "16 people so far." I would tell them. To which they would reply, "Okay you have 300 million people in this country, mass media that can pretty much reach all of them and you only got 16 people?" "Well the thing is founding fathers, I am not a liberal so I can't force people to learn about the Constitution, nor its predecessor, the Articles of Confederation. If they don't want to learn about the Declaration of Independence or read the Federalist Papers, I can't put a gun to their head." To which one of them would surely joke, "Why not? You still have the second amendment don't you? Use it or lose it." We would all laugh. After our laugh, I would smile and say, "16 is not so bad. Jesus only had 12 people and he changed the world." They would nod in agreement, "Good point." Of course there is power in numbers so if you are really serious about takign back this country, you will learn about its founders and the documents they created at http://bit.ly/ABCD

Well Said! My feelings EXACTLY!
Lisa Lowe said:Our founding fathers would be shocked to see that our Nation is willingly handing over our liberties that were and still are bought by the blood of brave men who had the courage to fight for them. There was a time when men could clearly see right from wrong and were not easily fooled into believing in straight up BS just because a pretty lie was purred in their ear. Our fight is certainly a war of powers and principalities which includes the men who spin the issues to trick and soothe the public. Shame on me for just standing here with my mouth gaping open at the outrageousness of it all! Truly, the fathers of our great nation would feel spit upon.

I wonder if they would see Barack Obama as the ultimate saviour of the Republic. We have been complacent for so long, allowing small infringements on our liberties so that link by link, we have forged the chains of our enslavement.
We have allowed ourselves to come to this end. Only when we see blatant changes being foisted upon us do we start trying to shake off the chains of oppression.
It was well said that when we give up liberty for the sake of security we deserve neither. We deserve no more than what we are willing to stand up and fight for. Now, we are seeing the fruits of a society that expects that same society to provide for its wants and desires. The question remains, what will our children see? Will it be riots and anarchy as everyone demands their wants come before those of everyone else's, or will we see a change in direction.
What would our founders say if they saw us today? I think they would say that we were reaping the fruits from the seeds of destruction that have been sown. I think they would tell us that if we do not change the direction we are headed that this Republic will not and cannot survive.

I think that they would be saddened that their greatest fears are being realized; despite their warnings. They feared a runaway central government, preferring that as much governance as possible be kept at the local level: By the People! Now the local is subservient to the State and the State to the Federal; the exact opposite of what was intended.
Our Republic is in trouble. It seems Franklin understood the risks when asked what form of government had been decided on: " A Republic, if you can keep it".
Can we keep it? How long until the Constitution is completely irrelevant? Saddened indeed....

I feel it would re-enforce the constitution by arresting the ineligible person that is in the presidents position now! Is there an oath taker out there that is also an oath keeper and has no fear of this evil?

I think the Founding Fathers would be utterly disgusted at the horrible condition of the US now as compared to then. I do, however, think the Tea Parties would amuse them as they would see us beginning on the path to take our country back and following the path they laid down before us so long ago.

Freedom Rider is asking the right question! Where are the oath takers? Every damned federal employee - judge, general, Congress-person, and bureaucrat swears an oath to defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic? They are accepting We the People's money, but where is the compliance with their oaths? Those oaths put their personal and sacred honor on the line! When they gave their oaths were they as fraudulent as Obama's seem to have been?

I think they would not beleive we have messed it up so badly.. can we ever again celebrate the Independance Day.. we are no longer independant or free..no liberty as they ment it.. no one followes the constitution any more.. our president is the worst offfender of what the constitutions says the duties of the president are and I will bet few of us can say what it is without first looking at the constitution and seeing what it really does say his office is to do.. so how do we turn things around and YES where is the leadership in this nation?I think the founding Fathers would be very dissipointed we could not keep our republic they gave All for..
