I no longer call myself a conservative, or a libertarian, or a Republican.
I am a Constitutionalist. Keep it simple, stupid, and they will come.
You cannot legislate morality; by the same token, it is not the government’s role to sanctify immorality. Morality is not relative. Either we have morals or we don’t. Right and wrong are really very simple concepts and are not subjective.
The separation of church and state is very simple: no Church of America. It does not mean oppression of religion.
Our judicial branch has a very simple function: adjudicate – not set policy or legislate. The separation of powers is paramount to keeping tyranny at bay.
It’s called the Constitution, as a contract (not “negative rights”) between the government, who are in service to the people, not the other way around. The founders didn’t call it a Suggestitution.
Our only option, in overturning the siege under which this country now suffers – at the hand of an over-reaching, over-large, over-powerful government – is to lean entirely on the Constitution. It is in that document alone where we will find life, liberty, and the opportunity to pursue happiness.
