ALAN KEYES: The leadership of both wings (Democrat and Republican) of the elitist faction are working to overturn constitutional self-government in the United States. Neither of these parties cares to practice government of, by and for the people.
Among politicians and pundits who identify with the GOP, there
are many who pay lip-service to the U.S. Constitution. Yet when push
comes to shove they seem disposed by all means to avoid implementing its
provisions. But left unused, the constitutional provisions intended to
exercise the just powers of the body politic waste away. In this
respect they are like the muscles
of the human body, but even more so. They must be flexed to keep their
fitness. If, in practice, their vitality and purpose are not conveyed
to each new generation, they will soon be lost to memory and so, quite
literally, cease to matter.
In this respect, Barack Obama’s rise to, and abuse of, political power has proven to be a litmus test. It has exposed the GOP’s protestations of allegiance to the Constitution for what they are: a hollow ploy, used to get votes from gullible conservatives loyal to the Constitution and its principles. Meanwhile, by action or inaction, many of the people they vote into office end up helping the would-be tyrants of the Obama faction cultivate the seeds of its destruction.
