Love of Country, Love of Constitution

By: G. Lamar Wilkie, USN (Ret.)

I am on a personal crusade to change the song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” from a Christmas song to a Valentine’s Day song. First, the song has absolutely nothing in it  about any holiday; second, mid-February is when it’s cold outside! That’s the time of year I would be strongly encouraging my love to stay warm indoors and snuggle.

While Valentine’s Day is the traditional day of lovers, it should actually be the icing on the cake, since we love our sweeties year-round. Equally, we love America all year long but there are occasions when we more fully express that love. Independence Day is one of those occasions.

Since this is the month of love, however, there’s no need to wait until July to talk about love of our country: a country that has been slipping away from us for a century. It’s not fully gone, though... and with enough people  understanding what’s at stake, there’s hope yet for the country we love.

The greatest expressions of lovers for each other are done in private. However, the greatest expressions of our love for this great country are done so publicly and boldly. Often, this expression comes in the form of correcting and educating those who parrot the words and terms that have been inserted into our every-day vernacular - by the very people and forces determined to destroy our American sovereignty and the Constitution’s relevance in our lives. Here are a few examples:

When someone refers to America as a “democracy”, we should feel an obligation to respectfully correct them. America is not now, nor has it ever been, a democracy! We are a Constitutional Republic!

In a democracy, the majority rules and there are no minority rights: only privileges granted by the majority. In our Republic, the rights of everyone, including those in the minority, are protected under the rule of law. Our government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed, and that includes all its citizens.

Here's a quote from Veterans in Defense of Liberty --"The very word Democracy is repugnant to those born free in a Constitutional Republic and understand the differences."

The second example happens during the summer. I cringe when I hear people wishing me a happy 4th of July. That’s my cue to give them something to think about.

Do we wish people a Merry December 25th? Or, a week later, do we wish them Happy January 1st? I’m pretty sure our sweethearts would be confused if we wished them Happy February 14th. How is it, then, that we’ve been conditioned to refer to our nation’s birthday only by its date?

Is it because we’re being influenced not to consider that our patriot forebears, in a courageous act which some considered to be high treason, threw off the oppression of a tyrannical government and declared independence from it? The significance of the event is more important than the date of the event! I then wish them a wonderful Independence Day.

Another example is so many people stare at screens, believing the talking heads who make up “rights” not found in the Constitution like jobs, health care, housing, food, etc. I encourage people to READ THE CONSTITUTION and understand our system of government... and compare how it’s supposed to work with the mess we have now (like Congress debating and passing 12 separate bills to fund the government vs. passing a 4000+ page omnibus bill written in secret with little open debate).

Special emphasis should be placed on the Tenth Amendment, and how every function of government, outside the eighteen specific powers granted it, is a function seized from the states and the people with no authority to do so.

Finally, we must let people know that they aren’t obligated to continue voting for, and supporting, the Republicrat Uniparty. The more Americans who leave the big-money globalist system perpetuated by the D.C. deep state, and the fewer votes Ds and Rs receive in elections compared to third-party candidates, the more nervous and frantic our elected officials will become. They may see the light and begin representing their constituents... instead of deep-pocketed K Street lobbyists. 

The Constitution Party has not wavered in its core principles of returning the federal government to its eighteen limited powers and restoring all other powers back to the states and the people.

We need people to run as candidates under the banner of the Constitution Party everywhere the party has ballot access. We need to financially support the party so it can grow and thrive: we need more staff to increase ballot access, we need an advertising budget, and we need operating expenses at the national and state levels. WE NEED YOU!

While this is a season of love (plus –baby, it’s cold outside!), it’s simply a reaffirmation of love that endures all the time. This is also a good time to reaffirm the love we feel for America... all the time. Reread the Constitution, front to back; respectfully correct those with the wrong impression of America; support and promote your Constitution Party. -GLW
