Today is the birthday of the U.S. Constitution. On September 17, 1787 the U.S. Constitution was signed by 39 boldy heroic men.

Just read The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States:
"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."

What a phenomenal beginning to a document that has stood the test of time and has been the go-to model for so many countries that have chosen to take the path that our own country has taken.

It was forged in blood, argument, fortitude, fairness, compromise, love, and neccessity; and it's a good document, for a good nation and a good people.

And I do not care if you do not agree with me. If you do not like our Constitution, or this Great Nation, leave. Get out, get lost, get *(;%$#!!!

You are not needed here.

Well, please forgive my brief tirade. It's just that earlier today, I Googled for some commentaries on the Constitution, just to see what folks were saying since today was the anniversary of the signing of the document. And what I so easily and readily found, even as easily as the links to government and institutional links to the Constitution's history and other information, was a good number of left-wing, socialist-leaning commentaries and articles bashing the Constitution and those that believe in it. Good grief, don't Liberals like anything about our Nation, the way she was founded, or the reasons? Nope, not too much it seems; just the money and power that they obtain by warping impressionable minds and abusing a system that was set up by more noble people than they.

It's like the new American Way as interpreted by Liberal Lefties requires spewing forth ideologies and ideas that are anti-American.

All of this rhetoric: conservative and American core values are outdated and should be a thing of the pas,t has caused a sharp decline in the number of people with good values, morals, and respect for others. It used to be: Work hard and you'll live nice, have security, and enjoy life in peace. Now it's: "Why should I work hard 'cuz they'll give it to me anyway and that's what I deserve, and you're nothing but a racist biggot for believing, let alone mentioning anything different".

But, each time I read parts of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, or the Declaration of Independence, I get nostalgiac and that's what helps me keep on believing that this is a good country, a bright light in the world. And, I truly believe that the vast majority of Americans still believe the same thing and that this entitlement attitude/socialist belief is just a propaganda tool used by the left to keep liberals in power for as long as possible.

I do not believe it will last. I believe that the True Americans, the Patriotic Ponderers will put things back in the correct place by utilizing the single-most effective tool ever created: The Vote.
