The underlying point of my earlier post #44 – again, hat tip to my sibling – is that our leaders can commit us to treaties which can supersede the laws passed by our state and even Federal legislatures.

Sure, our Constitution requires Senate ratification of any TREATY negotiated and signed by the the Executive Branch.

But look at the sneering, spitting contempt our present Government has repeatedly shown for the Constitution they swore to uphold and protect. The perpetraitors-in-chief are the petty-corrupt Speakatrix of the House and Mo-jority Leader of the Senate along with the Bumbling Apostate. And they are in turn enabled by hundreds of corrupt and vicious legislators, Marxist and Socialist appointed regulators and agency officials who work every day to turn back the progress that Americans of all backgrounds have sacrificed to accomplish.

How many times have we seen a single perverse judge cast down the studied decision of millions of citizens, citing some vague personal sense that has no basis in precedent, law, or the Constitution? And how consistently has it been that such perversely willful judges prove to have been appointed following a career of obsequious political correctness in the service of the Statist wet dream?

I’m listening just now to the PBS broadcast biographical sketch of the sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens, which devotes a big chunk to his Robert Gould Shaw Memorial. That’s his monument to the 54th Regiment depicted in the film “Glory.” It’s one of those PBS productions that is thankfully devoid of political condescension. The passages describing the faces of the black soldiers in the Shaw Memorial eloquently convey their bravery and determination.

At this point we aren’t facing shot and shell from a brave and resolute foe, but more of a continuous barrage of stones and garbage from a crowd of small time hoods. We are thigh-deep in a low-level “civil war” mostly of their making.

ACORN receives tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, and uses the money to subvert the voting process, and erode rather than promote lawful citizenship.

The President deliberately sabotages all efforts to mitigate an oil spill, then brazenly restricts news coverage in international waters, with barely a peep from the slavish MSM. Then he uses the unproven claim of unprecedented damage (most of which result anyway from his own sabotage) as justification for punishing and dismantling the U.S. oil industry.

SEIU purple-shirts arrive in chartered buses as organized phalanxes to intimidate and assault private citizen attending public “Town Hall” meetings which are supposed to be opportunity to question their Congressional Reps. Those SEIU THUGS specifically targeted citizens who were older, smaller and less vigorous than their own cadres of corpulent cowards.

I will refrain from listing another hundred of the lamentably familiar Marxist, Socialist, Progressivist, Elitist outrages of school boards, school administrators, the EPA, OSHA, the ACLU, the courts, etc., etc., etc.

Remember the Alamo, The Maine, and the miraculous discovery of uncounted boxes of Democrat Votes in Michigan.
