Freedom and human rights derived from God
Saturday, September 19, 2009 6:44 AM PDT
Arne Aasen's letter, "Constitution says nothing about God," is a sad commentary on how far our U.S. educational system has deteriorated in the last 50 years.
The U.S. public school system is in the process of "dumbing down" America and revising history, including the excluding of Christ Jesus from the public forum and from the heart and mind of our nation (our children).
We have a whole generation that doesn't know, nor wants to know, that the USA and its laws were founded on God's Word and are governed by its Christian principles. This abrogation of our Constitution, and our God it was founded in, will destroy this nation systematically and exponentially.
In the eighth grade, we couldn't pass our Social Studies/History requirement until we could, from memory and in front of the class, recite the Gettysburg Address, the Preamble to the Constitution and the first four sentences of the Declaration of Independence. We also had to explain the significance of the Mayflower Compact in U.S. History. Mr. Aasen, and all of us, should read these documents so we would be better able to explain where freedom and human rights derive from. If freedom and human rights derive from government, they can be dissolved as quickly as they are instituted. But if our human freedom and rights originate with God, then only He can rescind them.
And by the way, the world "Creator" with capital C is defined as God the Supreme Being. Also, it is used in the Declaration of Independence not the Constitution.

" Leonard; I think I'll go with my hypocrite hypothesis for you. I am neither new here nor do I consider Danielh unworthy of debate.
Then debate away, Mike. I am sure Daniel will enjoy the company.
Personally, with plenty of interesting people here to converse with, I have better things to do. "

You are new here so you probably haven't realized that you can't debate with Daniel. This has nothing to do with politics, the man is literally stark raving mad. "

That is a double negative. Learn how to write. "

If their objective was to defeat the US military command, then why did they not burn the capital building and the US central military command?
The British set fire throughout Washington D.C. except they did not touch the capital building. They could have set fire to anything they wanted, but they skipped the central command.
Your version of history does not acknowledge the US Bankruptcy of 1789, so just what do you think the British were fighting about? "

" Leonard: Do you have any real knowledge whatsoever which pertains to the US constitution, or do you only know how to type "CHUCKLE"? "
I know that an individual copy of the original document was sent to each of the states for ratification. Thus, the destruction of a single copy in DC could not possibly have resulted in a clandestine change in the content of the whole.
Nice paranoid delusion, though. Perhaps you should try again. "

I have good sources that are a lot more devoted to discovery of the truth, and more interested in doing something about it, than you are. "

The 13th amendment was the cause for war, because it banished the placement of title on property, as a means of concealment from the European bankers.
Today, we all know that our mortgages are securitized by a deed of trust to transfer title. "
danielh wrote on Sep 20, 2009 8:07 PM:
Although each sentence reads quite nicely, and the capitalized words appear to have style, these capitalized words usually don't make any sense because each one of them requires definition.
If the constitution does not define the meaning of each capitalized word, then these are open to definition elsewhere.
These are not common nouns. "

" The majority of the Founding Fathers were Masons. Masonic writings refer in generalities to "The Creator" or a "Higher Power" so as not to alienate folks of differing beliefs.
Those who crafted the Declaration and Constitution simply used a lot of Masonic language. "
Interesting facts. Thanks, Bob. "

Loan documents on public record are not found in Google unless someone publishes in the internet.
Loans are documented in the public record. In this case, the ones I am talking about are probably documented in London, England; and, the creditor for the Revolutionary War and for Louisiana Purchase goes by the name "THE CROWN."
You wrote, "I would imagine a tidy sum will have accrued."
Probably true; and, I doubt that it has been paid. "

There is an unimaginable death toll over the debt, and slavery; and, you think it is unimportant.
It affects the value of your labor, and you don't think it is important.
Do you remember the Hollywood movie "The Matrix" ?
Those people in the cocoons were US citizens, and they did not concern themselves with petty circumstances such as taxation.
Did you read 1984? The citizens did not concern themselves with such things as truth.
good luck with your blissful state. "

Why didn't the framers of those important documents choose to use the actual name "Jesus Christ" when referring to the Deity?
They didn’t, you know (it’s best if you know this fact straight up and admit it).
So why, then, didn't they say, "God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost"?
Why, then, are all of those names conspicuously ABSENT? And how come it doesn’t actually SAY “Christ” or “Christian” anywhere?
Why?
Do the modern conservative theocrats think the founders didn't know of the name "Jesus Christ"?
No, instead the framers carefully chose the name "Creator".
If you believe YOUR "Creator" to be Jesus, fine.
You think he’s "God"? Great.
Is another's "Creator" Allah? Yes, fine.
Earth Mother? It's covered.
Mithra? Ra? Zeus? Caesar? Yeah, sure, no problem. Whoever.
No matter how many times the liars keep bawling and bleating that this is a "Christian nation!" founded on "Judeo-Christian values!" it is still a lie. Freedom of religion, NOT “Christianity like it or not. "

I am glad to see that you have the Declaration of Independence.
To the best of my understanding, the Declaration of Independence is a document for the people, whereas the constitution is a corporate document which assures corporate responsibility of the United States to pay the debt, which by the way, I don't believe has been paid.
Also: those capital letters did not exist when the word of god was first expressed in writing, so in language, I don't see any reason to put a capital G. Capitalization was used by the Romans to capitalize living people into human machinery for the purposes of production; hence the meaning of the word. Today, capitals are used to denote corporate fiction. Doesn't sound like our father to me. "

I would like to further advise the reputable Arne Aasen that the constitution is a list of items that the federal government cannot do. "
