The U.S. Constitution

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.
trying to make a space
Barack Obama stated that "the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties." He argues that it tells you what the government can't do to you, rather than what it "must do on your behalf."
Making a space.
I can't even argue such an illogical statement. I'm speechless. It reminds me of when one of my children was convinced the sky was not blue...when it clearly was blue that day.
Hopefully this creates a space.
God bless the Founding Fathers for their righteous intent. The purpose of the Constitution is to limit the power of government. Don't agree? Read the seven articles.
And one more space.
Thank God the Constitution restricts the freedom of the government. What "fundamental flaw" exists in this inspired document? I sincerely wonder if Barack Obama has ever read the U.S. Constitution? That's not "negative campaigning"...it's a legitimate question born of sincere curiosity.

You're absolutely right! Someone wants to destroy our very foundation. Government was not meant to dictate our lives. That's why our Constitution is so inspired. It limits the scope of government. It is in place to protect us. We are to have "free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property and the protection of life." (D&C 134:2) That's what government is for and we know that "governments were instituted of God for the benefits of man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and safety of society." (D&C134:1) Like you, I cannot believe the ignorance or downright evil intent of those who would seek to change the great thing we have.

After reading the previous comment, there is not much left to say.....

But that one can clearly see satan's influence in the world. He would seek to overthrow all that is good. He has with his waxen cords, bound many, many seemingly good people and is slowly pulling them down.

Keep your heads up and know that God lives and is watching over His children
