American Patriot

Will Hawkins Constitutionalist

To most, the words herein will sound arrogant and hostile. This message is not intended for every American. It is a call to those who understand that freedom is not free; to those who recognize a responsibility to the generations to come; to those who realize that the future of the nation is in their hands and it has fallen to them to secure it for posterity. Let the others turn away. Let the abettors to the crime laugh and sneer at the words here set down, for they are the ones who, out of fear, have allowed the nation to fall into this condition.

They fear being ridiculed by the intelligentsia and allow the abuses to continue. They fear the complexities as an excuse to avoid action. These are the people who, afraid to risk their reputation for rational thought, avoid rational conclusions. They seek some middle ground where they risk nothing and others do their chores. They have fallen for the ruse of the government that intimates that any claim to Constitutional protection sounds juvenile and ignorant. What a wonderful way to avoid the issue of Constitutionality! Let them make accusations and allow violent action to be taken against the Constitution. They understand neither the price of liberty, nor of justice or the value of neither.

It may be difficult for some people to understand the need to revitalize the Constitution; to others it will be immediately clear. This is not a popular movement in that it does not rely on a majority, or even a plurality of Americans to agree with it. The American Constitutionalist does not seek acceptance, agreement or consent of the population. It is the majority of the population of the United States that has led us into the darkness and they are not to be relied upon to take appropriate action in the face of oppression and tyranny. All through American history it has been the majority of the population that has stood in the way of freedom and progress and only a few courageous individuals who have put their lives and fortunes on the line for the ideals of liberty and justice.

Those in power have relied upon the worst of human nature since the beginning of time. American politicians have successfully divided the people between one political party and another so that popular support for their actions is always an accusation away, no matter how vile and illegal those actions may be. The people support the party and turn a blind eye to the Constitution.

Since ratification the Constitution has been under assault from politicians, lawyers and judges to rework it and draw power to themselves. Since the Constitution regulates the power of the government and protects the citizens from abuses of power, it stands as a target for the enemies of liberty. To them, the Constitution must be altered, destroyed or made meaningless. The political parties have worked against one another and even with the assistance of one another to secure power at the expense of the people. But, there comes a time when the people must stand up and deny the usurpers and pretenders their prize. That time arrives when the government has drifted so far from its intended purpose as to endanger the very freedoms it was commissioned to protect.

Is America Headed Toward Revolution?
