Founding principles never seemed more relevant, than when used against the Left’s argument that our Constitution’s a ‘living document’ meant to evolve with the times.
Those principles – individual liberty, property rights, and limited government – are all predicated on a bedrock foundation we revere as Rule-of-Law: efforts to bastardize them in the name of all that’s Leftism fails the test of logic, common sense, & law.
Example: the Left’s claim that ‘anyone’ born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen, based on the 14th amendment to our U.S. Constitution. And then there’s the idea that counting illegal aliens as U.S. residents in the census can affect apportionment when it comes to congressional representation, federal funding, state & local assistance, etc.
Both fail the logic & common sense of protecting individual liberty, property rights, and limited government: illegal aliens claiming birthright citizenship do so on the basis of a STOLEN residency – threatening our rights & liberty by their presence and dependence on federal, state, and local assistance (health services, education, welfare, etc).
The same holds true for affecting apportionment – their presence disenfranchises the U.S. citizenry, who are adversely affected by resulting state and federal representation.
To claim that the U.S. Constitution encourages the dilution of the principles meant to protect U.S. citizens is an affront to logic, common sense…and HONESTY.
It’s an insult to our intelligence – but then, the Left has never worried about insulting the American public. Let’s hope the American public finds that affront UNACCEPTABLE…
…and that the Supreme Court wakes up to its responsibility, to protect the Constitution.
