"The Constitution can't protect you if you don't protect it…" (and another quote)

There is a quote I saw that was attributed to Thomas Sowell.  I cannot verify whether he said it or not.  However, the quote still makes sense:

"The Constitution cannot protect you, if you don't protect the Constitution with your votes against anyone who violates it.  Those government officials who want more power are not going to stop unless they get stopped."

I have something I'd like to add to that:

Just because there's rules & laws doesn't mean that those in charge will follow them. And just because there's people who'll follow them doesn't mean they're the ones in charge.

Guns cannot pull their own triggers

The gun does not pull it's own trigger, it has to be the person to get that done. Notice I didn't make mention of why the trigger is pulled, just that it is.

Gun control advocates like to say "Well, the intent must be evil."

Until you know the intentions of the person with the gun, you can't say whether or not their motive is to kill others in cold blood or something that's not evil. To do so would be to presuppose guilt based on the person in possession of an inanimate object that doesn't itself have motivations nor intentions.

Since the gun cannot pull it's own trigger, it's the person that does. Since the presence of the gun doesn't indicate the intent of the person who possesses it, saying that they have bad intentions right off the bat is making a 100% pure assumption.

Guns don't have motivations… what a strange concept that would be!

Obama is a fraud & so are those who enable him now, in the past & in the future

People have said that Obama is the greatest fraud in American history. I will add to this that all the people who helped prop up his "Presidency" should be included in that label. They helped him, they propped him up, then enabled him, they ignored proper procedures of vetting, they let him waltz into the White House….

They are just as much a part of this as he is. From the MSM to unelected bureaucrats (with tremendous power) to certain people in the Senate & Congress, the MSM. Perhaps an "etc" is necessary here, because if a full investigation is done, I'm sure my list won't be considered exhaustive.

And it's not just he and them that's the greatest fraud, it's all those unconstitutional laws that have been passed that enabled them to enable him.


Update 6/6/14

Actions speak louder than words.  Actions = Impeach Obama/prosecute him.  Words = ALL else!
